Footwear - Footwear industry guideline for substances of very high concern (Annex XIV of REACH)

This Technical Report is intended to provide information on the chemicals listed in the Candidate List / Annex XIV of the Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, also known as REACH (Regulation, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) and their usage and presence in the footwear industry.
The Annex XIV, overseen by the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), is a list of substances subject to authorisation, substances of very high concern (SVHC). Before the inclusion of a substance in the Annex XIV, the procedure is strictly fixed:
•   A European member state shall propose it to ECHA.
•   ECHA inform all the member states and a first enquiry is carried out in order to include the substance to the candidate list of Annex XIV.
•   After the agreement of the member’s state, ECHA includes the substances in the candidate list to Annex XIV. As soon as a substance has been included in the candidate list, it should be taken into account exactly as a SVHC.
•   ECHA prioritises the substances from the Candidate List to determine which ones should be included in the Authorisation List (Annex XIV of REACH) and therefore, subject to authorisation. ECHA regularly submits recommendations to the European Commission, who will decide on the substances to be included in the Authorisation List.
Following the evaluation of the Annex XIV substances, ECHA can take the decision to restrict the substances. This restriction may take the form of an authorisation for use, an authorisation only for specific applications in specified fields or, in some cases, a complete ban on the use of the substance.
During the evaluation process, these chemicals are not forbidden or limited in use. The regulation requires that the user shall be informed if one or more of these substances are present in any part of the article in quantity over 0,1% by weight.
This Technical Report shows which of these chemicals may be present in footwear materials and the footwear industry in order to help shoe manufacturers to collect mandatory information from suppliers regarding the content of these chemicals and, at same time, allow them to provide accurate information to their customers.
The test methods reported in Annex 1 are informative only to identify where these chemicals may be found and control the use along the supply chain where their suppliers are not under the jurisdiction of the REACH Regulation
Taking into account final decision of the European Commission, ECHA, implements the Annex XIV and the candidate list to Annex XIV of REACH, every 6 months. This revision interval is difficult to follow by the standardization procedures.
Therefore, this document reflects the situation at the date of 20th December 2011. This document will be annually revised.
This Technical Report does not concern the substances for which restriction have been already enacted under Annex XVII of REACH.
NOTE   Chemicals that are restricted under Annex XVII, are identified as a category 1 chemical in CEN ISO/TR 16178.

Schuhe - Leitfaden für die Schuhindustrie für sehr bedenkliche Substanzen (Anhang XIV von REACH)

Chaussures - Lignes directrices pour l’industrie de la chaussure relatives aux substances extrêmement préoccupantes (Annexe XIV du REACH)

Le présent Rapport technique est destiné à fournir des informations sur les produits chimiques figurant dans la liste candidate / Annexe XIV du Règlement (CE) n° 1907/2006, également connu sous le nom de REACH (enregistrement, évaluation et autorisation des substances chimiques, ainsi que restrictions applicables à ces substances), ainsi que sur leur usage et leur présence dans l’industrie de la chaussure.
L’Annexe XIV est une liste des substances extrêmement préoccupantes (SVHC), produits chimiques qui sont en cours d’évaluation par l’ECHA (Agence européenne des produits chimiques), qui supervise la mise en œuvre du Règlement REACH.
Après évaluation des substances figurant dans l’Annexe XIV, l’ECHA peut prendre la décision de limiter lesdites substances. Cette restriction peut prendre la forme d’une autorisation d’utilisation, d’une autorisation uniquement pour des applications spécifiques dans des domaines spécifiés ou, dans certains cas, d’une interdiction totale d’utilisation de la substance.
Au cours du processus d’évaluation, ces produits chimiques ne sont pas interdits ni leur utilisation limitée. Le règlement exige que l’utilisateur soit informé si une ou plusieurs de ces substances sont présentes dans une partie quelconque de l’article en quantité supérieure à 0,1 % en masse.
Le présent Rapport technique indique lesquels de ces produits chimiques peuvent être présents dans les matériaux de chaussures et dans l’industrie de la chaussure, afin d’aider les fabricants de chaussures à recueillir les informations obligatoires auprès des fournisseurs en ce qui concerne la teneur de ces produits chimiques et, dans le même temps, leur permettre de fournir des informations exactes à leurs clients.
Les méthodes d’essai mentionnées dans l’Annexe A sont informatives uniquement et servent à identifier où ces produits chimiques peuvent être présents et à maîtriser leur utilisation le long de la chaîne d’approvisionnement lorsque leurs fournisseurs ne sont pas sous la juridiction du Règlement REACH.
L’Agence européenne des produits chimiques, ECHA, met à jour l’Annexe XIV et la liste candidate de l’Annexe XIV du REACH tous les 6 mois. Cet intervalle de révision est difficile à appliquer dans le cadre des procédures de normalisation.
Par conséquent, le présent document reflète la situation à la date du 20 décembre 2011. Le présent document sera révisé annuellement.
Le présent Rapport technique ne concerne pas les substances pour lesquelles une restriction est déjà en vigueur au titre de l’Annexe XVII du REACH.
NOTE   Les produits chimiques qui sont soumis à une restriction au titre de l’Annexe XVII sont identifiés comme des produits chimiques de catégorie 1 dans le CEN ISO/TR 16178.
