Germany has prepared a restriction proposal on Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) related substances. A 6 month consultation started on 25 March.

PFHxAs are very versatile and have been used in various sectors such as clothing, polymers and fire extinguishing agents. Their persistent and mobile properties make the control of emissions and exposure difficult, and they can cause adverse effects to our health and the environment.

This info session gives an update on the proposed restriction, clarifies its scope and how to prepare and submit comments in the consultation.

Webinar Q&A

This webinar describes the state of play of the SCIP database, following the launch of its prototype in February. Join our webinar for a demo of how to create and submit a SCIP notification and use the opportunity to ask questions from our experts.

SCIP is a database for information on substances of concern in articles as such or in complex objects (products) established under the Waste Framework Directive.

Companies supplying articles containing substances of very high concern (SVHCs) on the Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) on the EU market have to submit information on these articles to ECHA, as of 5 January 2021.

Q&A transcript

Agenda

The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) announced its intention to propose a restriction of PAHs, furans, dioxins, PCBs and formaldehyde in single-use nappies for infants and children.

We will host a call for evidence to support the preparation of the proposal. The call for evidence starts in January 2020 and closes on 31 March 2020.

This information session is intended to clarify the scope of ANSES’ investigation and answer your questions related to the call for evidence. It is open for all, and will be most useful for those planning to provide information for the preparation of the restriction proposal.

To help companies facing difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the completeness checks of chemical safety reports will now only start in October 2020. The remaining changes to the completeness check will take effect on submissions as of 1 May 2020, as previously communicated.

The completeness check includes more explicit rules to ensure that registrants address information requirements for key hazard endpoints and strengthened checks for reporting the substance life cycle. The completeness check will also be extended to cover an area of the registration that was previously not verified – the chemical safety report.

Join our webinar to find out about the upcoming changes and get a head start in preparing your registration for the revised checks.

Use the opportunity to ask questions from our experts.
