#REACH, #Authorisation, #SVHC
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), to protect health and the environment, recommends that the European Commission adds four substances, including melamine, to the REACH Authorisation List. Once added to the list, companies must apply for authorisation if they wish to continue using the substances.
The recommendation includes the following substances:
- Barium diboron tetraoxide;
- S-(tricyclo[5.2.1.0 2,6]deca-3-en-8(or 9)-yl) O-(isopropyl or isobutyl or 2-ethylhexyl) O-(isopropyl or isobutyl or 2-ethylhexyl) phosphorodithioate;
- Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide; and
- Melamine.
