ADCR Factual Communication on ADCR Dossiers
Concise information on submitted ADCR dossiers
ADCR has developed a concise document presenting the main aspects of the 21 Dossiers submitted in EU and UK.
The Factual Communication summarises the content of the dossiers, and provides information on the Chemical Safety Report, Analysis of Alternatives, research/substitution plans and the Socioeconomic analysis.
Key facts are provided in bullet points and the timeline of upcoming authorisation decisions is provided.
Authorisations are needed to ensure the continued availability and operation of A&D products
in the EEA, since Cr(VI) is still required for manufacture, maintenance, repair and overhaul across
the sector. Viable alternatives for every impacted part and process, where Cr(VI) is currently
necessary, are not yet available, despite ongoing efforts.

On 19 January 2026, Defra made three decisions on new applications for authorisation submitted by ADCR in July 2024. These three decisions are the first Defra decisions on the UK tranche 2 applications from ADCR. The decisions have been sent to the applicants, and are expected to be published by the UK Government in the near future ( Authorisation decisions: UK REACH - GOV.UK ). Once the public links are available, ADCR will provide additional updates. The final four Defra decisions on submitted ADCR Review Reports in the UK are expected no later than March 2026.
