ECHA Weekly - 21 June 2023

One intention has been received for:

• 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol (EC 211-989-5, CAS 732-26-3)

Intentions have been submitted for:

• 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl peroxyneodecanoate (EC 257-077-0, CAS 51240-95-0)
• Reaction products of diphenylamine with nonene, branched (EC -, CAS -)

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

• Talc (Mg3H2(SiO3)4) (EC 238-877-9, CAS 14807-96-6)
• eugenol; 2-methoxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)phenol (EC 202-589-1, CAS 97-53-0)

For eugenol; 2-methoxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)phenol there are two separate proposals, one from Denmark covering skin sensitisation and one from Spain for the rest of the hazard classes. Both proposals combine 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.

Have your say by 18 August 2023.

ECHA invites interested parties to comment on the draft scientific dossier for an EU proposal by the European Commission for listing Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) and Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) in Annex B to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).

• Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4); Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5); Dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6)

Have your say on a draft scientific report by 10 August 2023.

The European Commission has granted Union authorisations for:

• the single biocidal product 'Spray On'

Three key tables have been updated on the EUON website:

• National reporting schemes
• Completed and planned REACH substances evaluations on nanomaterials
• Overview of REACH information requirements and available methods

Currently, the tables are available in English only, but they will soon be translated.

The following lists have been updated with the latest regulatory information:

• Plant Protection Products Regulation - Annex of Approved Active Substances for Plant Protection Products
• End-of-Life Vehicles Directive - Specific Use Exemptions
• Pesticide Residues Regulation - Annexes II, III, IV, VII: Defined & Temporary Maximum Residue Levels

In addition, the legislation profiles have been modified for:

• Plant Protection Product Regulation
• Pesticide Residues Regulation
• End-Of-Life Vehicles Directive
• Medical Devices Regulation
• In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation
