The members of FEICA favour maintaining the stability provided by a consistent regulatory environment and therefore support that the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) should not at this point be subject to revision, but instead, improved by further harmonisation and pragmatic solutions.

FEICA members support the need for ecodesign to encourage end-of-life re-use and recycle solutions for electronic products and components, such as computers.
However, FEICA's latest review advises that imposing specific technologies on manufacturers could potentially result in a technology lock-in, thus hampering innovation and preventing the development of more efficient products in the future.

CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulation
FEICA supports its members by keeping them informed on regulatory developments impacting the CLP Regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008)). In this regard, FEICA has been proactively collaborating with ECHA on the development of the Guidance on labelling and packaging.
The European Commission’s twin proposals under #OmnibusVI mark a positive step toward simplifying EU chemicals legislation. For the adhesive and sealant industry - where 85% of companies are SMEs - this promises greater clarity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. To ensure the revised CLP Regulation is practical and effective, FEICA underscores three key priorities: flexible formatting rules, staggered transition periods, and proportionate advertising provisions. In July 2025, FEICA published its position on CLP, calling for a swift adoption of CLP ‘stop-the-clock’.
