Feeling lost? State of Play 2023

The European Commission has delayed the adoption of its REACH Revision proposal until the 4th quarter of 2023, given the vast stakeholder input received last year and the complexity of the issues to be resolved. However, this does not mean that there is a regulatory standstill. To the contrary, in addition to the REACH reform the Commission, ECHA and Member States also pursue a number of impactful cases under the Restrictions Roadmap under the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) of 25 April 2022, notably the broad restriction proposals for bisphenols and PFAS. For chromium (VI) substances, re-authorisation applications will soon be due in many cases, and the Court of Justice of the European Union is to render a landmark judgment on chromium trioxide authorisation. For lead metal ECHA is to decide whether it will finally recommend it for inclusion into the REACH authorisation list. In addition, some important legislative proposals (CLP, Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation “ESPR”) have been transmitted to the European Parliament and the Council.
