ECHA is looking for comments on the draft opinion of the Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC) concerning the proposed restriction on placing on the market and use of lead in ammunition (for firearms and airguns) for outdoor shooting and in fishing sinkers and lures.

Outdoor shooting includes hunting and sports shooting. Military uses of ammunition as well as uses by police and border authorities are outside the scope of the proposal.

This consultation is open until 29 August 2022.
