Data generation and assessment – dossier evaluation, substance evaluation, informal hazard assessment (PBT/vPvB/ED).
Assessment of regulatory needs (ARN).
Regulatory risk management – harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) , SVHC identification, recommendations for inclusion in the Authorisation List, restriction.

A summary of all the substance-specific activities can be found under ‘Details’ for each entry.

Remarks

The Dossier Submitter will take stock of the granted authorisations as well as processed and pending applications for authorisations for the chromium (VI) substances in scope of the restriction proposal.

Stakeholders are requested to provide relevant information to the Dossier Submitter. If justified based on robust risk and socio-economic information the Dossier Submitter may propose derogations from the proposed restriction. If a derogation is not proposed by the Dossier Submitter then it will be incumbent on the relevant stakeholders to do so during any consultation process with a full risk and socio-economic justification accompanying it.

Update 8 May 2024: Based on ECHA findings and by request from the Commission, the Intention has been amended to extend the scope and timeline to prepare the Annex XV dossier. The Commission amendment to the initial request can be found at the following link: https://echa.europa.eu/current-activities-on-restrictions
In addition to entry 16 on chromium trioxide, and entry 17 on acids generated from chromium trioxide and their oligomers currently listed on REACH Annex XIV, the scope of the Annex XV dossier also covers REACH Annex XIV entries 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, 31, and Cr(VI) substances not listed in Annex XIV but with the potential to lead to regrettable substitution, in particular barium chromate.
