Recital 8

Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2023/171 of 28 October 2022 amending, for the purposes of adapting to scientific and technical progress, Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for hexavalent chromium as an anticorrosion agent in gas absorption heat pumps (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(8) The placing on the market for a use and the use of substances listed in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) are subject to an authorisation requirement under that Regulation. That Annex lists a number of hexavalent chromium compounds, including sodium chromate. Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and Directive 2011/65/EU apply without prejudice to each other. The use of a hexavalent chromium compound listed in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and its placing on the market for a use is subject to authorisation under that Regulation. The granting of an exemption under Directive 2011/65/EU does not affect that authorisation requirement under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, nor would the granting of an authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 affect the need to obtain an exemption under Directive 2011/65/EU. No reasons have been found according to which granting the requested exemption under Directive 2011/65/EU would weaken the environmental and health protection afforded by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
