Lanxess / CTAC request
Review period: 7 years (from the “sunset date” for chromium trioxide in 2017)
End of Review Period: September 2024
For the following uses:
Review period: 4 years (from date of decision)
End of review period: 2023 (actual date depending on the final adoption of the admission decision)
For the following uses:
Admission to the CTAC application will most likely include a number of conditions that were under discussion in the REACH regulatory committee last week.
Review period: 7 years
End of Review Period: September 2024
Here, too, it can be assumed that conditions for the approval decision will be issued. Summaries of decisions are expected to be published in the Official Journal of the EU in the first half of 2019.
