It was submitted by Sweden and was subject to a public consultation, which ended on 7 July 2017.
During its June meeting, the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) asked for further information to clarify the aquatic hazard of the substance.
Shortly before the RAC meeting, the zinc pyrithione industry consortium submitted new information on the aquatic toxicity of zinc pyrithione. This included two newly conducted experimental studies on the marine diatom Skeletonema costatum. As the study reports included preliminary results and were clearly marked by the industry representatives as unaudited drafts, the consortium committed to submit to RAC the audited, GLP-compliant full reports for the targeted public consultation.
The consortium submitted this new information to ECHA on 6 July 2018 and 13 July 2018.
All interested parties are invited to submit comments on the subject of the targeted consultation using the webform by 1 August 2018. The comments will be published on ECHA's website.
