Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The PFOS entry's point 4 changed from an open-ended derogation for mist suppressant use in non-decorative hard chromium (VI) plating with four-yearly Member State progress reports, to a derogation for that same use running only until 7 September 2025, paired with a requirement for Member States using PFOS to report to the Commission by 7 September 2024 and justify continued need, and a Commission review by 7 September 2025 of whether to prolong the derogation for up to five years.
A new line item for Dicofol, with CAS number 115-32-2, EC number 204-082-0 and no specific exemption listed, was added at the end of Part A before the Part B heading.

Provided that those Member States where PFOS is used report to the Commission by 7 September 2024 on progress made to eliminate PFOS and justify the continuing need for this use, the Commission shall review the need for a prolongation of the derogation for this use of PFOS for a maximum of five years by 7 September 2025. Where such a derogation concerns production or use in an installation within the scope of Directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council , the relevant best available techniques for the prevention and minimisation of emissions of PFOS described in the information published by the Commission pursuant to Article 17(2), second subparagraph, of Directive 2008/1/EC shall apply. As soon as new information on details of uses and safer alternative substances or technologies becomes available, the Commission shall review the derogation in the second subparagraph so that: (a) the uses of PFOS will be phased out as soon as the use of safer alternatives is technically and economically feasible; (b) a derogation can only be continued for essential uses for which safer alternatives do not exist and where the efforts undertaken to find safer alternatives have been reported on; (c) releases of PFOS into the environment have been minimised by applying best available techniques. 5. Once standards are adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) they shall be used as the analytical test methods for demonstrating the conformity of substances, mixtures and articles to points 1 and 2. Any other analytical method for which the user can prove equivalent performance could be used as an alternative to the CEN standards. |
