REACH Annex XVII Restriction list (Only for professional use)

This article has been translated with machine translation.

25th of March 2023, we launch the restriction list: REACH Annex XVII Restriction list (Only for professional use)

In iChemistry, there are two restriction lists for REACH Annex XVII:

(2) REACH Annex XVII Restriction list (Only for professional use)

The first list (1) is the “full list”. It includes the restricted substances (identified by CAS and EC numbers) from the REACH regulation, including its appendices, and from ECHA’s list of restricted substances. It also includes substances identified in investigations by our EHS consultants. Some of these substances do not appear on ECHA’s website.

However, some of the substances are only restricted in so called consumer use, and does not have those restrictions in professional use. Therefore, the first list (1) might give false hits on the list, as most customers of iChemistry uses chemicals as a professional user, and not as consumers in that sense.

Therefore, we have created the second list (2) to make it more relevant and easy to handle for professional users.

Removed substances in second list (2), which are only limited for consumer use and thus not relevant for professional use, are those from entries 3, 9, 10, 11, 28, 29, 30, 40, 48, 50a, 52, 54, 55, 57, 69, 72, 75, 77 of REACH Annex XVII. The professional use list is built from the same sources as the full list. Substances from the appendices that are not tied to the removed entries remain on this list.

While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, this translation may not be entirely error-free. Please consider this when interpreting the information.
