Table 1 Overview on REACH and CLP management measures for lead and lead compounds (CAS No 7439-92-1, EC No. 231-100-4)
REACH management measure | Scope and requirements | Concern | Submitted by | Year of enforcement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Restriction (ANNEX XVII) | ||||
Restriction of lead and its compounds in consumer articles | Annex XVII, entry 30: Substances classified as toxic to reproduction, Cat 1A or 1B, may not be made placed on the market and made available to consumers, neither as pure substance or in preparations, at higher concentrations than the classification limit. This affects all lead compounds but not metallic lead. This means it is restricted as such and in mixtures placed on the market for sale to the general public | CMR | Sweden in 2012 | 2013 |
Restriction of lead and its compounds in articles placed on the market | Annex XVII, entry 63: Lead and its compounds shall not be placed on the market or used in articles supplied to the general public, if the concentration of lead (expressed as metal) in those articles or accessible parts thereof is equal to or greater than 0,05% by weight, and those articles or accessible parts thereof may, during normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use, be placed in the mouth by children | CMR | Sweden 2015 | 2016 |
Restriction of lead and its compounds in PVC | Annex XV Dossier submitted | CMR | ECHA in 2017 | Not yet |
Restriction of lead and its compounds in gunshot in and over wetlands | Annex XV Dossier submitted. 1. Shall not be used in gunshot for shooting with a shot gun within a wetland or where spent gunshot would land within a wetland. 2. Lead gunshot shall not be in the possession of persons in wetlands; 3. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2: “shot gun” means a smooth-bore gun, “gunshot” means pellets used in quantity in a single charge or cartridge in a shotgun; “lead gunshot” means any gunshot made of lead, or any alloy or compound of lead with lead comprising more than 1% of that alloy or compound; “wetlands” are defined according to Article 1(1) of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar Convention). 4. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply 36 months from entry into force of the restriction; 5. Member States may, on grounds of human health protection and environmental protection, impose more stringent measures than those set out in paragraphs 1 and 6. Member States shall inform the Commission of such measures | ENV | ECHA in 2017 | Not yet, presumably April 2020 |
Candidate listing and authorisation (annex xiv) | ||||
Identification of lead and its compounds as SVHC | Proposal to identify lead and lead compounds as SVHC on the basis of the classification as being toxicity to reproduction category 1A in accordance with Article 57 (c) of REACH | CMR | Sweden in 2018 | June 2018 |

Classification and labeling (clp) | ||||
Metallic lead | Harmonized classification of lead metal (massive and powder, CAS: 7439-92-1) as toxic to reproduction (Repr. 1A-H360FD). The resulting new entries were included in Annex VI with the 9th ATP to CLP: Lead powder; [particle diameter < 1 mm]: Repr. 1A—H360FD; Lact.—H362; SCL Repr. 1A; H360D: C ≥ 0,03% Lead massive; [particle diameter > 1 mm]: Repr. 1A—H360FD; Lact. —H362 | CMR | Sweden in 2013 | 2013 |
Metallic lead | Proposal to classify metallic lead as aquatic acute 1; H400: Very toxic to aquatic life with an M-factor of 10 and as aquatic chronic 1: H410: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects with an M-factor of 10 | ENV | Denmark in 2018 | 2018 |
