The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is considering recommending five substances for the REACH Authorisation List.

EU,REACH,Authorisation,Chemical,SVHC,Substance

These five substances cover:

Melamine;
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate covering any of the individual isomers and/or combinations thereof (TBPH);
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
Barium diboron tetraoxide.

Moreover, ECHA is also inviting comments regarding the implications of adding a new hazard to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) which is already on the Authorisation List.

The consultations are open until 7 May 2024.

Details are as follows:

Name of substance	CAS No.	SVHC-relevant intrinsic property	Volume range in scope of authorisation (t/y)	Examples of uses in the scope of authorisation
Melamine	108-78-1	Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to human health (Article 57(f) - human health). Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment (Article 57(f) - environment)	＞10,000 t/y	Use as additive in foams and coatings, use in resins
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate covering any of the individual isomers and/or combinations thereof (TBPH)	-	vPvB (Article 57e)	100 -1,000 t/y	Use in the production of rubber articles, in plastics, in adhesives and sealants, in foam
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate covering any of the individual isomers and/or combinations thereof (TBPH)	255881-94-8	PBT (Article 57d)	100 -＜1,000 t/y	Use in lubricants and greases e.g. in vehicles or machinery
Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide	75980-60-8	Toxic for reproduction (Article 57 c)	1,000 -＜10,000 t/y	Use as photoinitiator in UV curable inks, coatings and adhesives
Barium diboron tetraoxide	13701-59-2	Toxic for reproduction (Article 57c)	100 -＜1,000 t/y	Use in coatings and paints, thinners, paint removers

A new hazard added to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (CAS: 84-74-2):
