ADCR Re-Authorisation Webinars
ADCR Re-Authorisation Webinars
As part of its outreach efforts, the ADCR Consortium delivered webinars in which the scope of the re-Authorisation work was discussed, the key principles were explained and the next steps were laid out. The webinars were aimed at those companies who have joined or are considering joining the ADCR Consortium but were also open to trade associations who represent potential Consortium members.
Two dates were selected for the webinars to be held in advance of the Consortium’s launch meeting in Brussels on 20th September 2019. The webinar dates were:
3 September 2019, and
11 September 2019.
There were two webinars held on each of those dates and the times were selected to be suitable for audiences both on European and non-European time zones.
The exact times and instructions for securing a place on one of these webinars was made available on this website.

On 19 January 2026 Defra granted Decisions for the three initial applications (AFA059, AFA061 and AFA063) which we published as news on 3 February. The granted review period for these three applications is 12 years. The Decisions are available on Authorisation decisions: UK REACH - GOV.UK . The Defra Decision come with a series of conditions that users of chromates should be fulfilling and these measures will apply from the 19 August 2026. To support the sharing of these GB obligations the ADCR Service Team prepared Formal Communication Letters that were shared with the Authorisation Holders for disseminating to their downstream users. These ADCR formal Communication letters have now been added to ADCR Guidance and Support , the letters set out the Authorisation conditions and monitoring arrangements as well for existing stock and REACH Article 66 obligations. For the four review report applications AFA058, AFA060, AFA062 and AFA064, Defra is expecting to make their decisions later in March 2026. As these applications are all review reports the use can continue until Defra makes its decision. The ADCR Service Team will update guidance documents on the ADCR website to cover the obligations of the Defra ADCR Authorisation decisions. The guidance is intended for Downstream Users of soluble chromates in GB. ADCR will also hold a webinar later in spring 2026 (April/May) to present the UK decisions and conditions.
