    Cobalt substances are temporarily exempt from REACH authorization

    Recently, the European Commission notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of its proposal
    to add a part of the substance to the REACH authorized list.
    Eight of these substances have been included in the European Chemicals Agency's (ECHA) Third Recommended Authorization List: trichloroethylene, chromium trioxide, chromium trioxide-derived acids and oligomers, sodium dichromate, potassium dichromate, ammonium dichromate, potassium chromate and sodium
    chromate.
    However, all cobalt substances on the ECHA Recommended List are not included in this proposal: cobalt(II) sulfate, cobalt(II) dinitrate, cobalt(II) diacetate, cobalt(II) carbonate and cobalt
    chloride.

    The Cobalt Development Institute understands this, but requests ECHA to prepare a proposal for Annex XV restrictions on REACH to control the use of cobalt in surface treatment in order to effectively control the risk
    to human health.
