On 2 February 2022, European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) launched a public consultation on the proposed recommendation of eight new substances for the European Commission to include in the Authorisation List (Annex XIV to REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006). Comments can be given by 2 May 2022.
The eight substances proposed to be recommended are as follows:
| Substances | SVHC-relevant intrinsic property | EC number | CAS number | Examples of use(s) in the scope of authorisation |
| Ethylenediamine | Respiratory sensitizing properties | 203-468-6 | 107-15-3 | Use as processing aid, scavenging agent in refinery streams, corrosion inhibitors, process additive, use in control of odour emission |

Toxic for reproduction | 400-600-6 | 71868-10-5 | Photoinitiator in UV-curable coatings, inks and adhesives |
| 2-benzyl-2-dimethylamino -4'-morpholinobutyrophenone |

| Orthoboric acid, sodium salt | Toxic for reproduction | 237-560-2 | 13840-56-7 | Currently not registered under REACH |
The comments received during the consultation will help ECHA finalise its recommendation. ECHA’s recommendation is submitted to the European Commission in spring 2023, who take the decision on the substances to be included in the Authorisation List.
If a substance is included in the Authorisation List, it can only be placed on the market or used after a given date if an authorisation is granted for a specific use. Companies that are using, manufacturing or importing these substances shall apply for authorisation.
