REACH Authorisation(annexure XIV) and Restricted(Annexure XVII)

[rks]

So far the WPA solutions from PTC have been addressing the changes in REACH candidate list SVHC which changes every six months (in June and Dec) . However there is no spec update happening for REACH Authorization(annexure XIV) and Restricted(Annexure XVII) and the last spec update shows 2014 though there have been many updates from ECHA since then. Many of the customers have been asking for compliance to Authorisation and Restricted list .Please let us know the roadmap for release for specs for REACH Authorization(annexure XIV) and Restricted(Annexure XVII). This have become a critical requirement from the industry now . Would like to hear from other OEMs and EMS companies who use WPA on this topic as well.

Fully agree.  While REACH Candidate list compliance specifications generally are available a few weeks after the official ECHA announcement, we experience more significant delays in timely updates to the Authorization and Restricted regulations.
