The European Commission has adopted the “new guiding criteria and principles for the essential use concept in EU legislation dealing with chemicals”. The aim of the tool is to facilitate decision-making and increase regulatory efficiency to achieve a fast phase-out of the most harmful substances in non-essential uses, while still allowing uses that are essential for society until alternatives become available.
The essential use concept is designed to support industries in the EU as a valuable tool facilitating essential uses exemptions. Ultimately, the goal is to promote and pursue clean and sustainable manufacturing activities for goods within the EU.
If the essential use concept is important to your company, please feel free to ask TEAM mastery for support.
