REACH Annex XVII adds restrictions on DMAC and NEP

  • 2025-07-08

On June 3, 2025, the European Commission published in its Official Journal the amending Regulation (EU) 2025/1090 to Annex XVII (Restrictions, Annex 17) of the REACH Regulation, adding item 80, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), and item 81, 1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-one (NEP), to Annex 17 of the REACH Regulation.

The new provisions are as follows:

Substance InformationRestrictions
80. N,N-二甲基乙醯胺(DMAC) 
N,N-dimethylacetamide
CAS 號: 127-19-5
EC 號: 204-826-4
1. From 23 December 2026, the substance shall not be placed on the market as a pure substance, as a component of other substances or in a mixture with a concentration of 0.3% or more, unless manufacturers, importers and downstream users include in the relevant chemical safety reports and safety data sheets (SDS) derived no-effect levels (DNELs) related to worker exposure to DMAC of 13 mg/m3 for long-term inhalation exposure and 1.8 mg/kg bw/day for long-term dermal exposure.
2.From 23 December 2026, the substance shall not be manufactured or used as a pure substance, as a component of other substances or in a mixture with a concentration of 0.3% or more, unless the manufacturer and downstream users have implemented appropriate risk management measures and provided appropriate operating conditions to ensure that workers' exposure is below the above DNELs.
3.As a derogation from 1 and 2 above, the above obligations shall apply from 23 June 2029 to the placing on the market of the substance for use or use as a solvent in the production of man-made fibers.
81. 1-乙基-2-吡咯烷酮 
(NEP)1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-one
CAS號: 2687-91-4
EC號: 220-250-6
1. From 23 December 2026, the substance shall not be placed on the market as a pure substance, as a component of other substances or in a mixture with a concentration of 0.3% or more, unless manufacturers, importers and downstream users include in the relevant chemical safety reports and SDS the derived no-effect levels (DNELs) related to worker exposure of 4.0 mg/m3 for long-term inhalation exposure and 2.4 mg/kg bw/day for long-term dermal exposure.
2.From 23 December 2026, the substance shall not be manufactured or used as a pure substance, as a component of other substances or in a mixture with a concentration of 0.3% or more, unless manufacturers and downstream users implement appropriate risk management measures and provide appropriate operating conditions to ensure that worker exposure is below the established DNELs.

Restricted Background

DMACBoth N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and NEP (1-ethylpyrrolidone) are dipolar aprotic solvents commonly used in the production of various formulations, including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. DMAC is also used as a coating solvent and is widely used in the production of man-made fibers and films, as well as in the production of wire insulation varnishes. NEP can be used as a cleaning agent, adhesive, and release agent. Under EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, DMAC is classified as a Category 1B reproductive toxicant and a Category 4 acute toxicant, while NEP is classified as a Category 1B reproductive toxicant.

The restriction proposal points out that the health risks of DMAC (N,N-dimethylacetamide) and NEP (1-ethylpyrrolidone) used in industrial and professional applications, particularly those involving high-temperature processes, open processes, and processes requiring manual operation, are not adequately controlled. Therefore, the restriction report proposes setting binding derived no-effect levels (DNELs) for the exposure risks of these two substances through inhalation and dermal contact as the best risk management option.
