  Webinar series on REACH restriction – Basics on REACH restriction process

  The REACH&CLP Luxembourg Helpdesk invites you to the first webinar of its series on the restriction procedure under REACH. This webinar will take place on 21 March 2024 from 14:00 to 15:30.

  21.03.2024

Under REACH, restriction is an instrument to protect human health and the environment from unacceptable risks posed by chemicals. Restriction is normally used to limit or ban the manufacture, placing on the market (including imports) or use of a substance, but can impose any relevant condition, such as requiring technical measures or specific labels. A restriction may apply to any substance on its own, in a mixture or in an article, including those that do not require registration, for example, substances manufactured or imported below one tonne per year or certain polymers.

In this first webinar of a series dedicated to the restriction procedure, the REACH&CLP Helpdesk will present the general functioning of the restriction procedure, from the starting of the process to its enforcement. An overview will also be given on ECHA's restriction activities in accordance with Article 69(2) which, after the expiry date of a substance on the authorisation list, requires ECHA to examine whether the use of the chemical substance in articles is adequately controlled or whether it is necessary to move to the restriction procedure. The difference between the restriction and authorisation procedures will also be presented.  Participants will also have the opportunity to ask their questions to the Helpdesk team.

Programme

The presentations will be held in French.
