It addresses a detail in Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 which is not in line with other substance regulations for REACH, medicinal products, and biocides.Our concern: Also transformation products can be hazardous substances. Meanwhile, they are not yet covered within the POP/PBT/vPvB assessment and the approval criteria for active substances.Our proposal: At least transformation products occurring in a relevant amount should be included in the assessment and the approval criteria in the same way as active substances.1 Onlineressource (5 Seiten)online resourceenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/StoffwechselproduktAbbaumetaboliteDegradationreaction productregulation (EC) No. 1107/2009hazardous substancesPOP/PBT/vPvB assessmentactive substancesA blind spot in the assessment of POP/PBT/vPvB propertiesMonographieChemicals
