<p>The hexavalent chromate compound used in paints for vehicle servicing was banned
in January 2019 under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction
of Chemicals regulations. Work had been ongoing since 2006 to remove paints containing
hexavalent chromate compounds, and the Ministry of Defence implemented this ban for
the remaining few uses when it came into force. Updated instructions were provided
to personnel and any remaining paints were recalled for safe disposal.</p>
