The European Union has introduced Regulation (EU) 2020\/1149, amending Annex XVII of REACH with the addition of a significant restriction (no. 74) on diisocyanates. This regulatory measure aims to protect workers by minimizing their exposure to diisocyanates, substances essential in various industrial sectors such as adhesives, foams, and coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diisocyanates are now subject to restrictions when their concentration exceeds 0.1% by weight, unless suppliers ensure that professional users have completed mandatory training in compliance with the new regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Approximately 4 million workers across the EU, who are exposed daily to diisocyanates, could benefit from greater workplace safety. Each year, over 5,000 cases of occupational diseases linked to exposure to these substances are reported, which this measure seeks to reduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suppliers must provide clear and accessible information about mandatory training, which includes detailed instructions on the safe handling of diisocyanates. Additionally, the training requirement must be explicitly indicated on product packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proposed by Germany, this restriction has received support from the RAC and SEAC committees of ECHA, ensuring a balanced scientific and socioeconomic approach to tackling diisocyanate exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Companies that use diisocyanates in their operations must implement new procedures to ensure full compliance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
