Board of Appeal decision on Scope of Exposure Assessment for REACH registrations

In a dispute over the interpretation of Art. 14 of REACH ECHA’s Board of Appeal (BoA) now (28 June 2016) filed a decision. The question was: is a registrant obliged to perform an environmental exposure assessment and risk characterization for a substance classified according to the CLP Regulation for human health endpoints, but not for environmental hazards? BASG AG contested ECHA’s interpretation, who answered this question with yes. BoA in its decision now confirmed ECHA’s position; the company has to submit the missing parts of the Chemical Safety Report.
