FEICA Position Paper on Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS) proposal for classification.pdf
FEICA Position Paper on Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS) proposal for classification explains the essential role of Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS) in adhesive and sealant formulations, where suitable alternatives are often unavailable. FEICA highlights that SAS particles are firmly enclosed in mixtures, eliminating inhalation risks during use. Therefore, FEICA recommends excluding such mixtures from a potential EU harmonised STOT RE 1 classification, advocating a risk‑based, proportionate regulatory approach aligned with scientific evidence and precedent such as titanium dioxide.
