This shall be documented in the format set out in Part B of the Chemical Safety Report in Annex I.

Information on exposures, alternative substances and risks U.K.

The available use and exposure information and information on alternative substances and techniques shall be provided.

3. Dossiers for restrictions proposal U.K.

Proposal U.K.

The proposal shall include the identity of the substance and the restriction(s) proposed for the manufacture, placing on the market or use(s) and a summary of the justification.

The risks to be addressed with the restriction shall be described based on an assessment of the hazard and risks according to the relevant parts of Annex I and shall be documented in the format set out in Part B of that Annex for the Chemical Safety Report.

Evidence shall be provided that implemented risk management measures (including those identified in registrations under Articles 10 to 14) are not sufficient.

Information on alternatives U.K.

Available information on alternative substances and techniques shall be provided, including:

• information on the risks to human health and the environment related to the manufacture or use of the alternatives,

• availability, including the time scale,

• technical and economical feasibility.

Justification for Restrictions at Community Level U.K.

Justification shall be provided that:

• action is required on a Community-wide basis,

• a restriction is the most appropriate Community wide measure which shall be assessed using the following criteria:
