RAC and SEAC supported the proposal by ECHA to restrict placing on the market of D4, D5 and D6 as substances, as contituents of other substances, or in mixtures in a concentration equal to or greater than 0.1 % w/w of each substance.

On its side RAC has adopted 10 opinions on harmonised classification and labelling, including opinions on eight active substances used in biocidal products and/or plant protection products and two industrial chemicals.

RAC also agreed on 14 draft opinions on authorisation applications for uses of chromium (VI) substances and octyl- and nonylphenol ethoxylates. SEAC agreed on 25 draft opinions on uses of chromium trioxide, coal tar pitch, high temperature, anthracene oil and octyl- and nonylphenol ethoxylates.
