| Restriction proposal on chromium (VI) to cover more substances The European Commission has requested ECHA to broaden the scope of the REACH restriction proposal to cover at least 12 chromium (VI) substances.
Given the wider scope, the Agency will submit the restriction proposal by 11 April 2025, instead of the originally planned date of 4 October 2024.
We will organise a webinar on 6 June 2024 at 11:00 Helsinki time to explain what data we are looking for in the second call for evidence that will be launched in June. |
