Definition: REACH Annex XIV lists substances that may only be used after their sunset date if the user or supplier holds an authorisation for that specific use.
Substances move from the Candidate List to Annex XIV in batches. Each entry has a latest application date and a sunset date.
If an authorisation applies, its number must appear on the label and in SDS section 2.2 and 15.
Legal anchor: REACH Articles 56, 58 and 60 to 65. Exemptions exist, for example scientific research and development. The authorisation number must appear on the label (Article 65) and in SDS Section 15.1.
