• Key Concepts: 
  Annex XIV is a list of substances that are subject to authorization under the European Union’s REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation. It is part of the European Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA) database of substances and their associated restrictions. The list includes substances that are considered to be hazardous to human health or the environment and must be authorized before they can be used in products or processes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Annex XIV list is used by companies to ensure that they are compliant with the REACH regulation. Companies must check the list to determine if any of the substances they use are subject to authorization. If a substance is on the list, companies must apply for authorization from ECHA before they can use it in their products or processes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to regularly check the Annex XIV list for updates as new substances may be added or existing substances may be removed from the list. Companies should also keep track of any changes in their own products or processes that may affect their compliance with the REACH regulation.
