SVHC in Articles Notification Reminder |
|
On June 6th, 2012, ECHA reminded that producers and importers of
articles containing 20 SVHC substance included in the Candidate list in
December 2011 have to notify the agency by 19 June, if the concentration
is above 0,1 % w/w and the total volume of a substance per producer per
year is above 1 ton.
It should be noted that the December candidate list contains two new
entries on refractory ceramic fibres which were included since January
2010. A company that has already notified the presence of refractory
ceramic fibres in their articles does not need to make additional
notifications now.

Commission adopts Communication on chemical cocktails |
|
The European Commission has published the Communication presenting the
new approach of addressing potential risks associated with chemical
mixtures. The Commission will identify priority mixtures, ensure that
the different strands of EU legislation deliver consistent risk
assessments for such priority mixtures and will contribute to filling in
gaps in the scientific knowledge needed in their assessment.
The challenge is that the EU legislation targets specific groups of
substances which include plant protection products, biocides, cosmetics,
pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines. The Commission will ensure that
priority mixtures are assessed in a co-ordinated and integrated manner
within these sector-specific legislations.
The Commission plans to tackle as well some of the data and knowledge
gaps to improve understanding of the mixtures to which people and the
environment are exposed.
The ultimate aim is to develop by 2014 technical guidances codifying
best practices for the assessment of priority chemical mixtures. By
2015, the Commission will draw up a report concluding on the progress
achieved.
Click here for more information about the Communication.
The methodology of chemical cocktails will directly impact the way
specific chemical substances are treated in downstream legislation.
Early participation in the debates is a guarantee that your business
concerns are well addressed. Click here to see how EPPA can be help to you in this ever-changing
regulatory environment.

Poland wants to control four substances |
|
Poland has informed the Commission that it wants to extend its control
over the production, marketing or use at work of a number of substances
including: 4-nitrobiphenyl (CAS 92-93-3), 2-naphthylamine (CAS 91-59-8),
benzidine (CAS 92-87-5), and biphenyl-4-amine (CAS 92-67-1) and its
salt as a substance on its own or substance in the other substances or
in mixtures in concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% by weight.
Regarding companies producing, marketing or using the substances, they
will have to provide justification, the amount of a substance or mixture
consumed in a year, the use itself, the number of employees who may be
exposed to a substance or mixture, safety precautions and organisational
measures enacted to protect workers' health.
The notification will be subject to stakeholder consultations by 29 August.

Eight SVHC proposals from Germany and Sweden |
|
Germany and Sweden have notified to ECHA their plans to submit eight
Annex XV proposals for substances of very high concern in August.
The substances to be proposed by Germany are:
heptacosafluorotetradecanoic acid, pentacosafluorotridecanoic acid,
henicosafluoroundecanoic acid; and tricosafluorododecanoic acid.
Sweden is planning to submit dossiers for methoxy acetic acid, cadmium
sulphide, cadmium and cadmium oxide, based on the substances’
carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic properties.

Five SVHC proposals from ECHA |
|
ECHA submitted five Annex XV dossier on:
- CI Solvent Violet 8 (4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)-4''-(methylamino)trityl alcohol)
- Michler’s Base (N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-4,4'-methylenedianiline)
- CI Basic Blue 26
([4-[[4-anilino-1-naphthyl][4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]methylene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]dimethylammonium
chloride)
- Michler’s Ketone (4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone)
- CI Solvent Blue 4 (α,α-bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-4 (phenylamino)naphthalene-1-methanol).
Together with an earlier ECHA SVHC intention for Basic Violet 3, ECHA
thus launched the first SVHC identification process in 2012 (a second
one starts in August).
In addition to it, Spain intends to submit a proposal for a harmonised
classification and labelling (HCL) for the pesticide
acetochlor(2-chloro-N-ethoxymethyl-6´-ethylacet-o-toluidide). The
dossier is expected to be submitted by 1 July 2012.
A public consultation on HCL for three substances, namely
cis-tricos-9-ene (muscalure), etofenprox and fenpyrazamine were launched
by ECHA. The deadline for submitting comments is 12 March 2012.
