#52026XC02336EU authorises limited chromium trioxide use for decorative functional chrome plating
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The decision allows B.A.P. S.r.l. in Italy to use chromium trioxide for functional chrome plating with a decorative character in hydrosanitary and food-sector applications. The authorisation covers a specific use of a substance controlled under REACH because of health and environmental risks. The approval runs until 1 July 2030, when the review period expires. The Commission accepted the use because it found that the socio-economic benefits outweigh the risks and that suitable alternatives are not currently available.
