The substances should effectively be added to Annex XIV by mid-2017.
Several industries impacted
The new substances of Annex XIV will impact several sectors in Europe, and notably pharmaceutical and aero/space industries since they are involved in many uses.
These substances have specific toxicological and ecotoxicological properties compared to the previous substances already in Annex XIV: carcinogenic, PBT and vPvB for anthracene oil and pitch, coal tar; endocrine disrupting properties for the environment for nonylphenol and 4-tert-OPnEO.
Dedicated methodologies will have to be developed in order to support applications, notably regarding:
- Exposure assessment
- Risk characterisation
- Monetisation of impacts
