  • FEICA Position on the Circular Economy Act.pdf

    Uploaded 23 Apr 2026

    FEICA welcomes the Circular Economy Act as a key opportunity to support Europe’s transition to a resource‑efficient economy and strengthen the Single Market. It stresses the essential role of adhesives and sealants in enabling durability, repair, reuse and high‑quality recycling across value chains. FEICA calls for a harmonised EU‑wide legal basis under Article 114 to avoid fragmentation, recognition of mass balance accounting to enable circular and defossilised materials, technology‑ or feedstock‑neutral targets based on life‑cycle performance, and alignment across EPR schemes, ecodesign rules and Digital Product Passports to ensure legal certainty, scalability and investment readiness.

    Updated FEICA Briefing paper on CURRENTA Test Method

    FEICA Briefing paper on the validated Test Method for the accurate measuring of very low contents (0.01% - 0.15%) of free monomeric isocyanates in mixtures.

    FEICA member companies benefit from a discount under the FEICA CAM-0642305-25E licence. The CURRENTA HPLC-MS/MS method (CAM-0642305-25E) is a method optimisation and revalidation of the previous method.

    Note that FEICA members who purchased the previous method, can receive a copy of the updated method on simple request, without any additional costs.

    This paper includes 2026 pricing and contact information.

  • UK EU chemicals reg cooperation_DEC2025.pdf

    Uploaded 16 Dec 2025

    FEICA cosigns industry position paper on UK-EU chemicals regulatory cooperation

    FEICA has cosigned a position paper calling for the full implementation of the Chemicals Annex under the EU/UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). The paper highlights the importance of structured regulatory cooperation to support business growth, competitiveness, and high standards of consumer and environmental protection in both regions.

    Key points from the position paper include:

    •  Urging the implementation of regular and structured meetings between UK and EU regulators and agencies.

    •  Supporting cooperation on ongoing and emerging priorities, such as the REACH and CLP regulations.

    •  Promoting the exchange of non-confidential information and best practices, including scientific data and risk assessment approaches.

    •  Encouraging collaboration on non-animal New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Next Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA) for chemicals safety.

    The paper outlines how regulatory cooperation will reduce costs and administrative burdens, unlock resources for innovation, and ensure products remain suitable for both markets.
