FORCHROMATES

BackgroundAccording to the REACH regulation1, the use of some chromates2 will be banned in Europe from

September 2017 unless a specific Authorisation has been granted for a specific use and a specificchemical supply-chain, for a limited time period, and for the specific cases where no suitablealternativescanbeimplementedbeforetheSunsetDates.

ApplicationsforAuthorisationcurrentlybeingpreparedApplications for Authorisation have therefore been prepared by some industrial consortia for someAerospaceusesofsomechromates.Due to the nature and complexity of the Aerospace supply chain, a top-down approach based onApplications for Authorisation submitted by the chemical suppliers (i.e. substance Manufacturer orImporterorFormulator)andpreparedwithstrongsupportfromend-users(sincetheyhaveknowledgeonpotentialalternativesandassociatedimpacts)hasbeenapplied3.Thefollowingdossiershavebeenprepared:

- ApplicationsforAuthorisationhavebeenpreparedbytheCTACconsortiumforsomeusesofchromiumtrioxide.TheseapplicationshavebeensubmittedtoECHAinMay2015bytheCTAC-Subconsortium.

- ApplicationsforAuthorisationhavebeensubmittedtoECHAinNovember2015bytheCCSTconsortiumforsomeusesofotherchromates4.

- OtherApplicationsforAuthorisationmaybeinpreparation.

Some Original Equipment Manufacturers have compiled through CTAC and CCST a list of specificapplicationsusingsubstancesofconcern incertainend-usersdesigns that requireAuthorisation.TheywillnotbeseekingAuthorisationforthosesubstancesinalluses.

Each company in the supply-chain should in any event check with its chemical suppliers whetherAuthorisationisbeingsoughtforsubstance(s)andforwhichuse(s)toensurethatitwillbecoveredasneeded.Pleasefindattachedtherelatedpressreleasesandasummarytableinwhichyouwillfindmoredetailsabouttheusesandthelistofcompanies(legalentities)whichhaveappliedforanAuthorisationwiththesupportoftheCTACandCCSTconsortia,aswellasthelinktothedossierspublishedontheECHAwebsite.

REGULATION(EC)No1907/2006OFTHEEUROPEANPARLIAMENTANDOFTHECOUNCILof18December2006concerningthe

Registration,Evaluation,AuthorisationandRestrictionofChemicals(REACH).2

Please refer to REACH Annex XIV for the comprehensive list of substances and their respective Sunset Dates and Latest

ApplicationDates.3

Dueto thenatureandcomplexityof theAerospacesupplychain,anApplication forAuthorisation inanyother format than

these upstream applications would have extremely limited benefit and result in an unacceptably high risk of supply-chain

disruption, since an end-user can apply for his uses but not for uses upstream in the supply chain e.g. formulations or sub-

contractedactivities.4
