Authorisation: EC votes for inclusion of twelve new substances to Annex XIV of REACH
These 12 substances are:
- 1-Bromopropane (n-propyl bromide)
- Diisopentylphthalate
- 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C6-8-branched alkyl esters, C7 rich
- 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C7-11-branched and linear alkyl esters
- 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, dipentylester, branched and linear
- Bis(2-methoxyethyl) phthalate
- Dipentylphthalate
- N-pentyl-isopentylphthalate
- Anthracene oil
- Pitch, coal tar, high temp.
- 4-(1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutyl)phenol, ethoxylated
- 4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated
You can find the detailed list of substances here.
The substances should effectively be added to Annex XIV by mid-2017.
Several industries impacted
The new substances of Annex XIV will impact several sectors in Europe, and notably pharmaceutical and aero/space industries since they are involved in many uses.
These substances have specific toxicological and ecotoxicological properties compared to the previous substances already in Annex XIV: carcinogenic, PBT and vPvB for anthracene oil and pitch, coal tar; endocrine disrupting properties for the environment for nonylphenol and 4-tert-OPnEO.
Dedicated methodologies will have to be developed in order to support applications, notably regarding:
- Exposure assessment
- Risk characterisation
- Monetisation of impacts
