EU Extends Chemical Regulations to Embrace DMAC and NEP under REACH Annex XVII
The European Commission announced updates to Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation with new restrictions on N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and N-ethylpyrrolidone (NEP). It submitted Notification G/TBT/N/EU/1079 to the WTO on July 30, 2024. These changes are set to take effect 20 days after publication in the EU Official Journal.
Annex XVII restricts the use of certain hazardous chemicals in the EU market. The inclusion of DMAC and NEP will subject these chemicals to strict regulatory oversight, ensuring that all products containing them, whether produced or sold in the EU, meet stringent safety standards to protect health and the environment.
