Hexavalent Chromate/Chromium Trioxide EU Authorisation expires on 21/9/24

The existing Hexavalent Chromate/Chromium Trioxide EU Authorisation expires on 21st September 2024, as we have left the EU, EU REACH and UK REACH are entirely separate and as such uses of substances on the authorisation list need to be covered by a GB-held authorisation.

The UKREACH web site UK REACH: List of UK REACH authorisations – granted and applications in progress (hse.gov.uk) lists no body or company or application that has applied to extend their authorisation for use of Hexavalent Chromate/Chromium Trioxide for Architectural aluminium or indeed aluminium.
