Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
(3) Binding occupational exposure limit values are important component of the general arrangements for the protection of workers established by Directive 2004/37/EC and must not be exceeded. Limit values and other directly related provisions should be established for all those carcinogens or mutagens for which the available information, including scientific and technical data, make this possible. In that context, the Commission shall also work with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to develop additional binding occupational exposure limit values for other substances where this is warranted, in particular for critical raw materials such as cobalt.

Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) Benzene meets the criteria for classification as carcinogenic (category 1A) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and is therefore carcinogen within the meaning of Directive 2004/37/EC. Benzene can also be absorbed through the skin. The limit value set out in Annex III to Directive 2004/37/EC for benzene should be revised in the light of more recent scientific data no later than 1 January 2030 in accordance with the ACSH opinion and it is appropriate to keep the skin notation. The ACSH, based on the RAC opinion, also agreed on the usefulness of the biomonitoring for benzene. This should be considered when developing guidance on the practical use of biomonitoring.
