1 The substance has no uses in the scope of authorisation but is recommended based on grouping considerations as it could potentially replace structurally similar substances that have already been recommended or are included in the Authorisation List. This is to avoid regrettable substitution.

Once substances are added to the REACH Authorisation List, companies will need to apply for authorisation before a specific date to continue using them.
