ECHA Guidance on substances in articles updated

11 January 2016

Following the judgement of the Court of Justice of 10 September 2015 in case C-106/14, ECHA has now updated its guidance on requirements for substances in articles. This quick update corrects the parts of the guidance with references to the 0.1% limit that are no longer consistent with the conclusions of the court's judgement.
The court's judgement clarified the scope of the notification and communication obligations of companies. According to the ruling, the legal obligations also apply to articles that are present in complex products as long as these articles keep a special shape, surface or design or as long as they do not become waste (ECHA News Item, 17 December 2015).
