- 3、Importers and producers of articles containing N-Methylol acrylamide shall notify the European Chemicals Agency within 6 months (10 June 2022) from the date of listing of the article. Suppliers of substances on the shortlist, whether individually or in combination, must provide safety data sheets to their customers.
- 4. According to the Waste Framework Directive, if the product produced by the company contains substances of high concern with a concentration of more than 0.1% (calculated by weight), it must be notified to ECHA.
