ECHA has launched an online tool for companies to notify their intentions to modify the EU Positive Lists under the Drinking Water Directive. Using the ECHA Industry Portal, firms can indicate substances they wish to keep, add or remove from the European Positive Lists. Notifications are prepared in the IUCLID format. To assist, ECHA released a manual, a guidance document (DWD Guidance Volume IV), and a video tutorial on generating IUCLID dossiers. After submitting a notification, firms have 12 months to file an application to amend the lists. From January 2027, notifiers can begin submitting these applications. The directive requires that substances used in materials that contact drinking water be listed in one of four European Positive Lists, and the notification step aims to streamline the process.
