N,N-dimethylformamide restriction from December 2023
The European Commission has published a regulation restricting N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) – an aprotic solvent used in many industrial applications in the EU. This decision follows the proposal of the Italian authorities and the opinion of the European Chemicals Agengy (ECHA) scientific committees.
The restriction starts applying from 12 December 2023. Some uses have been granted longer transition periods.
We expect that by lowering the levels of DMF at workplaces, 1300 -2500 workers will be better protected from negative health effects, such as liver and developmental effects and reproductive harm.
