Once the regulation is adopted and enters into force, the placing on the market and the use of those substances in the EU will only be possible, after the date specified for each substance ("sunset date"), for those operators who have been granted an authorisation in accordance with Articles 60-64 of REACH, and for those who have submitted an application for authorisation before a given date ("latest application date") but a decision has not yet been adopted.

Furthermore the draft Regulation propose to extend for a limited period of time the transitional periods of a number of substances, for uses in the production of spare parts for the repair of articles or complex products produced before the sunset date and for the repair of such articles/complex products.
