ECHA: Restriction proposals for N, N-dimethylformamide and cobalt sulphate cobalt dinitrate cobalt dichloride cobalt carbonate cobalt di (acetate)

Two public consultations have been opened concerning the following substances:

  • N, N-dimethylformamide (CAS 68-12-2): toxic substance for reproduction, the restriction proposal concerns the production and industrial and professional use in concentrations> = 0.3%. The substance may be used in higher concentrations at this limit if the DNEL will be less than 3.2 mg / m3 for long-term inhalation exposure and 0.79 mg / kg bw / day for cutaneous exposure.
  • cobalt sulphate, cobalt dinitrate, cobalt dichloride, cobalt carbonate, cobalt di (acetate): ECHA believes that the risk to health is not adequately controlled. The restriction proposal concerns the production, marketing and professional and industrial use of five substances as such or as components of mixtures in concentrations> = 0.01% by weight. In the restriction proposal the use of these cobalt salts as an additive for animal feeding is exempt (Reg. (CE) 1831/2003).

Public consultations will end on June 19, 2019.
