Registry of restriction intentions until outcome
The registry of restriction intentions until outcome lists the intentions and Annex XV restriction proposals received by ECHA.
A restriction proposal may be prepared by a Member State or by ECHA at the request of the Commission or on its own initiative for substances in the Authorisation List. It is a legal requirement for a Member State to notify ECHA of its intention to prepare a restriction dossier. The advance notice enables interested parties to plan and prepare for commenting later on.
Interested parties can follow the progress of a proposal through the restriction process, from the notification of the intention to the adoption of the final opinions by the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) and the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC), and the adoption of the restriction by the European Commission.
Stakeholders are encouraged to submit any relevant information to the dossier submitters during the preparation of the restriction proposal and during the consultations. Information to motivate any exemptions to the scope described in the intention is particularly useful to receive in the preparatory phase of the dossier.

Submitter(s) | ECHA |
Details on the scope of restriction | Restricting the placing on the market of certain chemicals and use of professional and industrial use of the 5 cobalt salts where adequate control cannot be demonstrated. The restriction may also be implemented by imposing operational conditions and risk management measures. |
Reason for restriction | The Commission has requested ECHA to assess the risk of the 5 cobalt salts in industrial and professional uses and restrict those uses where adequate control cannot be demonstrated. |
Remarks | ECHA held a call for evidence to obtain information for assessment in preparing the Annex XV dossier: https://echa.europa.eu/previous-calls-for-comments-and-evidence. This information will be used, amongst other issues, to determine if any derogations are required for the potential restriction as these cannot be proposed without adequate risk and socio-economic information. If a derogation is not proposed by the Dossier Submitter then it will be incumbent on the relevant stakeholders to do so during any public consultation process with a full risk and socio-economic justification accompanying it. NOTE! The Commission decided to terminate the restriction process on 8 April 2022. However the Commission is preparing to derive a BOEL for cobalt and its compounds according to Directive 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work. |
