Authorisation list

ECHA regularly assesses the substances from the Candidate List to determine which ones should be included in the Authorisation List as a priority. The prioritisation is based on information on the intrinsic properties, wide dispersive use or high volumes that fall within the scope of the authorisation requirement. ECHA launches a 90-day public consultation as part of the process.

The draft recommendation includes, amongst other things:
* Sunset date from which the placing on the market and the use of a substance is prohibited, unless an authorisation is granted or the use is exempt from authorisation;
* Latest application date by which applications must be received if the applicant wants to continue placing the substance on the market or using it after the sunset date;
* Review periods for certain uses, if any;
* Uses exempted from the authorisation requirement, if any.
