ECHA Weekly 5 July 2023

We have published opinions of the Committee for Risk Assessment on restriction proposals for:

• N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and 1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-one (NEP) (EC: -) submitted by the Netherlands

Reports for the following substance groups are now available on our website:

• Dithiocarbamate Complexes 
• Isocyanates 

If you have questions or feedback related to the assessment work, you can send them to us using this webform.

One proposal has been submitted for:

• Acetophenone (EC 202-708-7, CAS 98-86-2)

We are looking for comments on the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) proposal for:

• N-1,3-dimethylbutyl-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (EC 212-344-0, CAS 793-24-8)
• thymol; 5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)phenol (EC 201-944-8, CAS 89-83-8)

For thymol; 5-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)phenol, the proposal format combines the draft (renewal) assessment report prepared according to the Plant Protection Products Regulation and the proposal for CLH under the CLP regulation. For additional information, consult the European Commission’s Guidelines on Active Substances and Plant Protection Products.

For more information on this active substance and on the studies included in the CLH report, consult the draft assessment report on the European Food Safety Authority's consultation website.

A new service release of IUCLID 6 includes improvements and fixes that are relevant to SCIP users. These include among others:

• Alignment of the validation assistant with the official Candidate List update on 14 June.
• A fix on the user interface view of the mixture category (no impact on the format).
