The comments received during the consultation will help ECHA finalise its recommendation. ECHA’s recommendation is submitted to the European Commission in spring 2025, who take the decision on the substances to be included in the Authorisation List.
If a substance is included in the Authorisation List, it can only be placed on the market or used after a given date if an authorisation is granted for a specific use. Companies that are using, manufacturing or importing these substances shall apply for authorisation.
