Consultations on applications for authorisation

We have launched consultations on five applications for authorisation covering six uses of:

chromium trioxide (EC 215-607-8, CAS 1333-82-0) for the following uses:
- decorative/functional application in the furniture, sanitary and automotive sector;
- functional chrome plating of components in sectors such as mechanical engineering, metalworking, aerospace, automotive, and medical technology;
- formulation of chromium trioxide-based electrolyte for electroplating; and
- functional plating of cylinders used in the rotogravure printing and embossing industry
dichromium tris(chromate) (EC 246-356-2, CAS 24613-89-6) for use in a post-treatment step of the autodeposition coating process of shock absorbers for automotive vehicles.
chromic acid (EC 231-801-5; CAS 7738-94-5) for use in the functional electroplating of brass-made sanitary articles.

More information about the uses applied for is available online.

Submit your comments through an online webform by 14 July 2021 (23:59 Helsinki time).

Intention to restrict lead chromates withdrawn

We have withdrawn our intention to restrict lead chromate; lead sulfochromate yellow (C.I. Pigment Yellow 34); lead chromate molybdate sulphate red (C.I. Pigment Red 104) (EC -, CAS -) on 5 May 2021.

For us to complete the Annex XV restriction dossier on these lead chromates more information is needed from the European Commission on how it intends to progress the decision-making on the proposed restriction of lead in PVC.

Persistent organic pollutants

Consultations on methoxychlor and UV-328

We invite interested parties to comment on the draft risk management evaluation of methoxychlor (EC 200-779-9, CAS 72-43-5) and the draft risk profile for UV-328 (EC 247-384-8, CAS 25973-55-1). These substances have been proposed for listing as persistent organic pollutants under the Stockholm Convention.

Submit your comments through an online webform by 13 July (23:59 Helsinki time).

ECHA supports the Commission and the Member States in the work on POPs in the EU, among other things to identify and propose new POPs to the Stockholm Convention.
