~tEU REACH Committee to decide on second list of chemicals for authorisation
~w2011-08-04
The European Commission has announced that the second list of chemicals to be prioritised under the REACH authorisation process has been passed to the EU REACH Committee. The list of eight substances was proposed by the European Chemicals Agency last December. The Committee will decide whether to list the chemicals in REACH Annex XIV at its meeting on 28 September. Addition to the Annex would mean companies will have to seek authorisation for these substances in future. Further information is available at:

~tECHA consults on testing proposals for alkenes
~w2011-08-04
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has called for information on testing proposals involving vertebrate animals for assessing the reproductive toxicity of alkenes (C7-9, hydroformylation products, distillation residues, heavy cracked fraction). Scientifically valid information and studies from third parties should be submitted to the agency by 15 September 2011. Further information on the new proposals can be found at:
