Sažetak
The expertise includes the opinions of the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) and the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) on EU-wide restriction on industrial and professional uses of diisocyanates, due to the risks they pose to workers’ health - primarily respiratory sensitisation. Restriction proposal, i.e. the Annex XV report conforming to the requirements of the REACH Regulation, was prepared by German competent authority. It was concluded that the proposed restriction on industrial and professional uses of diisocyanates is the most appropriate Union wide measure to address the identified risk in terms of the effectiveness, risk reduction, practicality and monitorability, taking into account the proportionality of its socio-economic benefits to its socio-economic costs, provided that the scope and conditions are modified, as proposed by RAC, as demonstrated in the justification supporting the opinion.
