ADCR Consortium

Granted ADCR Authorisations in EU and in GB/UK

All submitted ADCR dossiers, to ECHA in the EU, and to HSE in the UK have been granted 12 year authorisation review periods from the European Commission and Defra in the UK.

ADCR have collated the status of all authorisation decisions with links to the decisions and additional information. The collected information also provides information on dossiers that have been submitted and that are still undergoing the assessment by the authorities.

The information is found in the ADCR Communication ‘Summary of ADCR applications submitted in EU and GB and decisions status’ (pdf, version 14 May 2026).

Update 14 May 2026

In Great Britain (GB), Defra has published all ADCR tranche 2 decisions adopted in January/March 2026.

Update 3 February 2026

In EU, ECHA informed applicants in January 2026 that they are suspending processing of chromates applications. For all Review Reports submitted by ADCR, the use can continue under transitional measures according to REACH Article 61.1, until the future Cr(VI) restriction enters into force, or until the European Commission makes a different decision.

For more information on the Cr(VI) process, please see European Commission Q&A document 'Towards a restriction of Cr(VI) substances under REACH (version 25 August, 2025) and ECHA Restrictions under Consideration.
