Guidance on requirements for substances in articles

(in English)

Following the judgement od the European Court, ECHA initiated a fast-track update procedure and published an updated Version 3.0 of this guidance document in December 2015, correcting the key parts of the guidance that were no longer consistent with the conclusions of the court's judgement, and in particular removing examples.

The present Version 4.0 is a more comprehensive update of the guidance, following a normal three-step guidance consultation process, including a consultation of the Partner Expert Group (PEG) selected from ECHA's accredited stakeholders. This version aims primarily at aligning further the text of the guidance and introducing new examples that are consistent with the conclusions of the Court judgement.
