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.
