Lignes directrices pour une déclaration de statut de contact avec des denrées alimentaires pour les adhésifs - French translation of the FEICA Guidance for a food contact status declaration for adhesives.
2014 - CE Marking for One-Component Foam (OCF)under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) - (Publ. ref. FAS-EX-D11-003)
For One-Component Foams neither European harmonised standard (hEN) nor a European Technical Approval (ETA2) exists and thus CE marking is not mandatory for any OCF product.
2014 - "Europe needs safe and innovative nanotechnologies and nanomaterials” is a joined publication of CEFIC, FEICA and several other industry associations.
The views are those of 15 European industry associations, including FEICA, with an interest in nanotechnologies and nanomaterials.
2014 - Model Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) - Q&A (Publ. ref. RAM-IN-D08-008)
FEICA is working to bring the German Model EPDs developed by the German adhesives, construction chemicals and paints sectors to the European level.
This article looks at how FEICA is dedicated to the acceptance of "Model Environmental Product Declarations” for the adhesives and sealants industry. The adoption of Model EPDs will potentially help adhesive and sealant companies achieve significant cost and time savings when creating EPDs for their products.

Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP) introduced a new element to the European Union (EU) classification, packaging and labelling requirements for hazardous chemicals. This was a requirement for manufacturers and importers, in certain cases, to notify to ECHA the classification of the substances that they supply or import for inclusion in the Classification and Labelling Inventory (CLI).

The Adhesive & Sealant industry is convinced that sustainable development is a journey and both, production and products, can continuously be improved to gain in sustainability. That is why FEICA commits to sustainable development, encompassing environmental, social and economic responsibility.
With the Internal Position Paper "Sustainable Development" FEICA aims to address its position, raising awareness amongst the FEICA membership, and promoting a common approach.

The requirements of CLP and REACH together form the basis of chemical control legislation, and changes introduced by CLP2 have had, and continue to have, significant impact on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) - in particular with changes to the requirements for SDS that become applicable on 1 June 2015, when CLP comes fully into force.
#CLP #classification&labelling #hazardousproducts
For a correct CLP implementation you need to be aware of the transitional periods and deadlines for classifying, labelling and packaging your chemicals, as well as of the main changes derived from shifting systems and the provisions provided in related legislation (e.g. REACH). This FEICA guidance aims to assist members with the classification process.
#CLP #classification&labelling #hazardousproducts
Labelling under CLP is intended to ensure the effective communication of the hazardous properties of the chemicals to the potential users, and to others who might be exposed to the chemical.
