Deadlines for updating registration dossiers clarified
The European Commission has clarified the meaning of ‘without undue delay’ in an implementing regulation, which has now received a favourable vote by all Member States. Companies are responsible for updating their registrations with relevant new information, on their own initiative, without undue delay.
Foreseen deadlines for the different types of updates will become applicable after the publication of the implementing regulation, expected later this year. ECHA is preparing further information for registrants, including an update of the guidance on registration.

Diisocyanates restricted under REACH
Diisocyanates should not be used on their own or as a constituent in other substances or in mixtures for industrial and professional uses in concentrations above 0.1 % by weight after 24 August 2023. Placing on the market will be restricted earlier – as of 24 February 2022.
Diisocyanates are respiratory and skin sensitisers. They are mainly used to make polyurethane products, such as foams, sealants and coatings. Restricting their use is estimated to prevent over 3 000 new cases of occupational asthma per year in the EU. Read more about the conditions of the restriction in the Commission Regulation.
