  Mixture Assessment Factor explained

  Under the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, the Commission plans to put a system in place that covers the combination effects of unintentional chemical mixtures. Because of the complexity linked to regulating an almost infinite number of possible combination of chemicals, the concept of a Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF) was launched. Find out more details about the MAF concept and the consequences in this FEICA leaflet.

  REACH Restriction Concerning the Use of Diisocyanates

  Paula Diaz, FEICA Regulatory Affairs Manager, contributed an article to the International Chemical Regulatory and Law Review (ICRL Issue 2/2021). The publication covers the requirements established by the diisocyanates restriction. Diisocyanates are basic components of polyurethane (PU) used in the manufacture of adhesives and sealants and many other products. The FEICA webpage on the safe use of diisocyanates is regularly updated in line with the regulatory developments. The full article can be consulted here.

• FEICA webinar on the upcoming registration of polymers.pdf

  Uploaded June 24, 2021

  Presentation slides of the FEICA webinar ‘The Upcoming Registration of Polymers under REACH’ – 23 June 2021

  Key takeaways:

  - The REACH Regulation will be amended to extend the registration requirements to polymers, among other things

  - The use of polymers within the adhesives and sealants industry is very widespread. Polymers are the chemicals which enable adhesives and sealants to work

  - Customisation of the polymers included in adhesives and sealants often results in a large number of new polymer species, often with a short life cycle

  - Customisation is required in order to fulfil technical feasibility and customer requirements as well as regulatory needs

  - Many companies customising polymers currently acting as downstream users (DUs) under REACH legislation may become potential polymer registrants

  - An easy and straightforward registration process should be ensured to allow the flexibility needed to adapt polymers to market needs on short notice

  - Exemptions, the possibility to group similar polymers, and volume cutoffs would help mitigate the impact of registration on downstream users
