• The lead has to prepare the joint submission in REACH-IT before submitting the dossier.

• The lead has to communicate the joint submission name and token to the members.

• The members have to join the joint submission in REACH-IT and wait until the lead has registered before submitting the dossier (Note: this will be updated during early part of 2010).

• Carefully consult the relevant guidance and manuals.

• ‘Technical Completeness Check tool’ will be available before the end of 2009

Part IV

Authorisation & Restriction

Do you have a “forbidden” substance in your article?

>0,1% >1t ?

9http://echa.europa.eu

Authorisation vs. Restriction

• Authorisation: industry (in the EU) is not allowed to place on the market or use a substance included in Annex XIV unless industry has an authorisation granted by the European Commission

•Restriction: industry has to comply with the conditions of the restriction in Annex XVII for the substance

10http://echa.europa.eu

Main objective:To ensure that:

• the risks from the most hazardous substances are properly controlled,• these substances are progressively replaced by suitable alternatives.

Scope: Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), i.e.:• CMR 1 and 2,• PBT, vPvB,• substances of “equivalent concern”.

Main principle: after a certain date (“sunset date”), a substance subject to authorisation requirement (i.e. listed in Annex XIV of REACH) cannot be placed on the market and/or use by M/I/DU unless an authorisation has been granted for that specific use

Authorisation

11http://echa.europa.eu

The authorisation procedure: a 2-steps approach

• Step 1: subjecting substances to authorisation requirements

• Step 2: authorisation applications and decisions

The different lists under authorisation procedure

Registry of Intends ≠ Candidate ListCandidate List ≠ Authorisation Authorisation ListList (Annex XIV)

- list of substances identified as SVHC

- it does not bring any obligation for authorisation applications, but information obligations for suppliers of article containing the substance

- list of substances subject to authorisation application requirement

- contains further details about the transitional arrangements (application / sunset dates) and specific uses exempted

- list of substances for which Member States (or EC) have expressed their interest in developing (in the future) an Annex XV dossier for the identification as SVHC

13http://echa.europa.eu

Authorisation: what has been done so far?

Identification of SVHC:

• in summer 2008, the first 17 Annex XV dossiers for the identification of SVHC were submitted by Member States; this led to the identification of 15 SVHC, listed in the Candidate List as published by ECHA on 28 October 2008;

• the second round of identification of SVHC has just started, with the publication of 15 new Annex XV dossiers on 31 August 2009 (public consultation until 15.10.09); this should lead to an update of the Candidate List by January 2010

Annex XIV recommendations:

On 1 June 2009, ECHA sent its first recommendation for inclusion of substances in Annex XIV to the European Commission

14http://echa.europa.eu

Authorisation: what’s next?

Identification of SVHC:It has been agreed with MSCAs that Annex XV dossiers will be submitted twice a year, at fixed dates; the next agreed submission dates are:

• 08 February 2010• 02 August 2010

Annex XIV recommendations:

ECHA has to send to the European Commission new recommendations at least every 2 years.

Annex XIV (authorisation list):

The European Commission is currently working on the recommendation sent by ECHA; the adoption of the first Annex XIV list is expected for the beginning of 2010.

Authorisation applications: ECHA has started to prepare for autorisation applications which can be in principle submitted as soon as Annex XIV has been published (for the substances it contains)

Questions to ask• Product =article?

– Intention to release substances• Ex: cosmetics in leggings

check that your EU importator or Only Representative have (pre-)registered correctly these substances

17

– Article contains substances from Candidate list? 0.1%? (art.33) Check correct information to recipients/consumers upon request

and > 1t/year (art.7.2) Check Notification to Agency by importator or OR

Restriction – Principles (1/2)

• Definition:Restriction means “prohibition”

• Restrictions may be imposed on:– manufacture, use and/or placing on the market– a substance on its own, in preparation or in an

article when:– an unacceptable risk to human health or the

environment exist– this risk needs to be addressed on a Community-

wide basis

20http://echa.europa.eu

Restriction – Principles (2/2)

• Restrictions are:

– proposed by Member States or the European Commission (Annex XV dossiers for restrictions),

– decided by the European Commission, on the basis of ECHA’s scientific committees (RAC / SEAC) opinions

• No dossiers/applications to be developed by industry

• Community-wide action: the same requirements apply to whole EU from entry into force

21http://echa.europa.eu

Restriction: what has been done so far and next steps

• Restriction title entered into force on 01 June 2009, (Annex XVII) takes over the restrictions adopted under the previous legislation

• Annex XVII (list of restrictions) has already been updated by Commission Regulation (EC) No 552/2009 of 22 June 2009

• 2 countries have already expressed they intention to submit Annex XV dossiers (3 in total) for new restrictions in April and June 2010

22http://echa.europa.eu

• Nickel (buttons, zippers..) • Textile:

Azo-colourants, Tris(azirdinyl)phosphinoxide; Polybromobiphenyls (PBB), Cadmium, perfluooctane sufonate (PFOS), Mercury (industrial)

• Leather:Cadmium (imitation leather), Alkanes short/medium chain chlorinate paraffins (fat liquoring of leather), Azo-colourants, nonylphenol (leather & textile process)

Challenge d’un Helpdesk

1) MANAGEMENT DES RESSOURCES (hommes, IT)

– Équipe (expert vs généralistes; pic d’un sujet)– IT, outils (tél, email...)

2) INFORMER/ COMMUNIQUER– En amont de la question– Trouver la réponse (et qui répond?)– Quel niveau de risque juridique?– Partager la réponse (interne, externe)– Et si la réponse change?
