applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
The introductory notes now include an additional sentence stating that where Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol and its nano form are used together, the combined amount must not exceed the maximum concentration listed in column g.
A new entry numbered 23a for Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (nano) has been added alongside the existing entry 23, with its own restriction against use in applications that may expose the end user's lungs by inhalation and a set of purity, solubility, partition coefficient, coating and particle size conditions for the nanomaterial.
