Postponement of previously announced criteria change.
Byggvarubedömningen Ekonomisk Förening has decided to postpone the implementation of the previously announced amendment of criterion 0.17 d (hazardous to the aquatic environment, Chronic Category 3, H412) which would enter into force on 2020-01-01. In 2020, the Swedish Chemicals Agency will review its criteria for prioritized risk reduction substances. We will await the outcome of that investigation to see if it will affect the criterion on environmentally hazardous substances, and depending on the results, the previously announced change may also be adjusted.
