Upstream authorization dossiers: difficulties confirmed by ECHA

Following a 2019 European Court ruling, upheld in 2021, that interpreted the REACH regulation on the point of adequacy of an available alternative to substitution, the European Commission has asked several authorization applicants, including for hexavalent chromium uses, to check whether they should supplement their applications with a substitution plan.
