This draft Regulation relates to new entries of Annex XVII to REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.The draft Commission Regulation proposes a restriction for placing N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and 1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-one (NEP) on the market in concentrations higher than 0.3%, unless the registration dossiers and the safety data sheet are updated with the new DNEL values, and manufacturers and downstream users ensure the protection of workers by keeping their exposure below those values. Application of the restriction is deferred for 18 months for all industrial sectors and for 48 months for the man-made fibres sector, to give industry sufficient time to comply.
