ECHA's Management Board decided in December 2020 to pause the Agency’s work on supply chain communication activities.

A paper by the Commission's Competent Authorities for REACH and CLP expert group (CARACAL) explaining the decision and its impact on the extended safety data sheet development has been published on ECHA's REACH Review Action 3 webpage. The paper and the next steps were discussed at the CARACAL meeting on 3-4 March 2021.
