On 18 January 2024, ECHA published a screening report to assess whether the use of these four benzotriazoles in articles, including UV-328, UV 327, UV-350, and UV-320, should be restricted in accordance with REACH Article 69(2). Based on the available evidence, ECHA is considering restricting or prohibiting the use (or presence) of three out of the four substances, including UV-320, UV-350, and UV-327 in articles and preparing an Annex XV dossier for restriction. In terms of UV-328, ECHA is of the view that at present there is no need to prepare an Annex XV dossier for restriction as the substance is expected to be addressed by the EU POPs regulation.

Starting from 2023, the amendments to Annex II of REACH regulation on safety data sheets (SDSs) became mandatory. This means that related enterprises must affix a unique formula identifier (UFI) code in section 1.1 of their SDS when exporting mixtures to the EU.

Uturuki imerekebisha ada ya utawala ya usajili wa KKDIK kwa 2024 baada ya muda wake wa kujisajili kuongezwa. Ikilinganishwa na ile ya 2023, ada ya usimamizi ya 2024 imeongezeka kwa zaidi ya 50%. Mapema mwanzoni mwa 2023, Uturuki tayari imepandisha ada ya utawala kwa 2023 kwa zaidi ya 100%.

Bunge la Marekani limependekeza kufanyia marekebisho mswada huo, na kuongeza vitu vikiwemo PFAS, ortho-phthalates, bisphenols, styrene, na trioksidi ya antimoni kama si salama kwa matumizi ya vifaa vya kuwasiliana na chakula. Kwa vile idadi inayoongezeka ya majimbo yametunga kanuni zao kuhusu usalama wa chakula, Baraza la Wawakilishi limependekeza kuanzishwa kwa Sheria iliyotajwa kama "Sheria ya Kutokuwa na Sumu katika Ufungaji wa Chakula ya 2023" mnamo Oktoba 26. Sheria hiyo inalenga kupiga marufuku shirikisho matumizi ya misombo fulani katika Nyenzo za Mawasiliano ya Chakula(FCMs). Hasa, kuna mwingiliano na vikwazo vilivyoainishwa katika Sheria ya Plastiki ya Marekani iliyoletwa hapo awali. Baada ya duru kadhaa za mjadala mkali, Baraza la Congress hatimaye liliamua kuteua vitu vifuatavyo vilivyochukuliwa kuwa si salama kwa matumizi kama viambata vya chakula katika Sheria ya Shirikisho ya Chakula, Dawa na Vipodozi ambayo itaanza kutumika miaka miwili baada ya tarehe ya kupitishwa kwa Sheria hii.
