Following policy information in the last policy newsletter (22.08.25) concerning the extension of the CMR restriction, an important correction/update has been issued.

After double checking it became clear that the extension only applies to substances and mixtures provided to the general public and not articles as initially mentioned.

A clarification on the new CMR update (adopted 8 Aug 2025):

• The update adds newly classified CMR substances to Annex XVII, Appendices 2, 4 and 6.
• Scope: Entries 28–30 cover substances and mixtures supplied to the general public. Articles (e.g. textiles/footwear) are not included in this amendment.
• The textile/footwear CMR restriction (Entry 72) remains unchanged.
• Application date: 1 September 2025 (aligned with CLP).

Action:

• If you place mixtures for consumers (adhesives, inks, coatings, etc.) on the market, check formulations against the new list and update SDS/labels as needed.
• For articles, continue to comply with Entry 72 as before.
