Which Member States allow creosote-treated wood to be placed on the market?
We have published a list of Member States where creosote-treated railway sleepers and utility poles may still be on the market for the first time. The information in the list comes directly from the Member States.
From 30 April 2023 onwards, placing these railway sleepers and utility poles on the market is only allowed in Member States that have informed ECHA about their permission and are listed on our website.
