Commission Regulation (EU) No 301/2014 amends REACH Annex XVII to restrict chromium VI in leather articles and leather parts that come into contact with skin. The instrument sets a 3 mg/kg threshold expressed on the total dry weight of leather or the leather part. It identifies EN ISO 17075 as the recognized analytical method and ties the threshold to that method’s determination limit. Second-hand articles already in end use in the Union before 1 May 2015 are excluded from the new paragraphs.
