Advice on how to comply with NMP restriction
A new guideline is available for industrial users of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to help you comply with the substance’s restriction requirements. The guideline is needed because this is the first restriction of its kind that is based on derived no effect levels.

Report on formaldehyde exposure published
On request by the Commission, we have prepared and published an investigation report on the exposure and risk posed by formaldehyde to workers. We investigated uses and worker exposure to formaldehyde in different sectors and have assessed these exposures against limits values adopted by the Commission in 2019, indicating areas of potential concern and making recommendations on regulatory risk management.
ECHA's completed activities on restriction
Restriction intention withdrawn
We have withdrawn the intention to restrict the placing on the market of childcare articles and residential upholstered furniture with PUR foams containing the three organophosphate flame retardants TCEP, TCPP and TDCP (EC 204-118-5; 237-158-7; 237-159-2). The reason is that critical data (US NTP studies on the carcinogenicity of TCPP) will not be available within the originally foreseen 12 month timeline and we are unable to complete the Annex XV dossier without this data.
