Board of Appeal
Board of Appeal publishes two decisions related to the rejection of adaptations
The decisions of the Board of Appeal in cases A-014-2014 and A-003-2015 both concern ECHA decisions following compliance checks rejecting adaptations (or waiving) for the pre-natal developmental toxicity (PNDT) endpoint. In both decisions ECHA rejected the adaptation proposed as the conditions that need to be met for an adaptation under the third indent of column 2 of section 8.7 of Annex IX (to the REACH Regulation) had not been met.

REACH-IT temporarily closed - reopens on Monday
Due to technical issues, REACH-IT is temporarily closed for industry and will reopen on Monday 15 August. We have identified the cause of the issue and are working to resolve it. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to companies that have been unable to submit their dossiers.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will make sure that all dossiers submitted during the period of the technical issues (4-8 August) will be followed up appropriately to minimise the impact on companies.

Consultation on harmonised classification and labelling
ECHA is seeking comments on the harmonised classification and labelling proposals for:
- halosulfuron-methyl (ISO); methyl 3-chloro-5-{[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)carbamoyl]sulfamoyl}-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (CAS 100784-20-1) is used as a herbicide. It has no existing harmonised classification and labelling in Annex VI of the CLP Regulation. We invite you to provide comments on all the hazard classes.
