Stakeholders are invited to provide relevant and science-based information by the 27^th of January 2021 on substitution plans for eight applications for authorisation. The applications cover uses of chromium trioxide, sodium dichromate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

The information will help the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC) evaluate the credibility and completeness of the substitution plans, work which is expected to be finalised by September 2021. The European Commission will take SEAC’s evaluation of the substitution plans into consideration when deciding whether to grant or refuse the authorisation.

 More information can be found in the ECHA’s news release.
