ECHA launches a public consultation on a proposed restriction of lead and its compounds in consumer articles

21 March 2013, ECHA has published new proposals to restrict lead and its compounds in consumer articles. The public consultation will start on 21 March 2013 and will last for six months concluding on 21 September 2013. Interested parties can post their comments on the ECHA website.

Lead is usually found in metal alloys, pigments/dyes, and to a lesser extent it is used as a stabiliser in plastic and as a pure metal. Lead has been shown to cause non-threshold neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental effects, especially in children. This restriction proposal addresses articles that can be placed in the mouth by small children, such as clothes, shoes, accessories, interior decorations, and articles for sports and leisure.
