RPA Study on behalf of the European Chemicals Agency

Collection of Data on the European Market, Uses and  Releases/Exposures for Lead Cyanamidate and Lead Dinitrate

 

In the framework of the authorisation process, Member States Competent Authorities or the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), on a request by the European Commission, may prepare Annex XV dossiers for the identification of substances of very high concern (SVHC).

Risk & Policy Analysts (RPA) has been contracted by ECHA to collect and provide background information on the markets, uses, releases of and alternatives for:

a) lead cyanamidate (also known as lead cyanamide)

    (EC Number 244-073-9, CAS Number 20837-86-9); and

b) lead dinitrate (also known as lead nitrate) (EC Number 233-245-9,

    CAS Number 10099-74-8)

with the aim to support the potential (although yet unconfirmed) development of Annex XV dossiers for the identification of the substances as SVHCs.

We would be grateful if companies involved in the manufacture, import and use of either substance would consider the questionnaire shown below.  The deadline for collecting information is 21 October 2011.  Completed questionnaires should be returned by email using the contact details provided on the first page of the questionnaire.
