Nine new substances subject to Authorisation in Europe



On 19 August, the European Commission, through the Regulation No 895/2014, added nine new substances on the Authorisation List (Annex XIV) of the REACH Regulation. These substances of very high concern had been prioritised by ECHA in January 2013 and are used, for instance, as solvents, anti-corrosion or curing agents. The list of new substances is available hereafter, including links to the respective world regulatory maps:

  • Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with aniline
  • Arsenic acid
  • Bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether (diglyme)
  • 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC)
  • 2,2′-dichloro-4,4′-methylenedianiline (MOCA)
  • Dichromium tris(chromate)
  • Strontium chromate
  • Potassium hydroxyoctaoxodizincatedichromate
  • Pentazinc chromate octahydroxide

  • The latest application dates range from February 2016 to July 2017. The Authorisation List currently contains a total of 31 substances.

    The UK Chemicals Stakeholder Forum (UKCSF) recently published a business-friendly guidance document "which explains how businesses will be affected by Authorisation. It provides answers to a number of key questions around the Authorisation process for example, where to find out information on how to substitute chemicals; what they key steps and processes are; how to monitor what’s going on and practical advice about applying for Authorisation. It also includes a number of links to relevant guidance material from industry, the UK REACH Competent Authority and ECHA.
