EU - Explanatory Guide on Microplastics - REACH Annex XVII Entry 78

​The Commission prepared an Explanatory Guide to help stakeholders and EU countries implement the new rules.

This Guide consists of:
 - a narrative part (Part I) which describes in simple terms the provisions and the intended implementation of the restriction;
 - a set of ‘questions and answers’ (Part II) which compiles replies provided to EU countries’ and stakeholders’ questions;
 - Annexes (Part III) with decision trees and examples of borderline cases.
