Press Release: ASC, CATIA, and FEICA announce revisions to joint adhesives and sealants classification manual
The classification manual is intended to ensure harmonised terminology and market segmentation.
ASC-CATIA-FEICA Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual - updated 2021
Since 2012, China, Europe and North America have harmonised the Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual. Now for the first time, the three major adhesives and sealants markets – China, Europe and North America – share a common language when it comes to defining the market segments and product categories for adhesives and sealants.
The European Adhesives and Sealants Market Report, issued by FEICA, and the North America and Asia Adhesives and Sealants Market Report, issued by the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC), both follow the harmonised ASC-CATIA-FEICA Adhesives and Sealants Classification Manual, facilitating companies to compare data between Europe, NAFTA and the Asia-Pacific region.
Press Release: FEICA position paper explains the perspective of the adhesives and sealants industry regarding the registration of polymers
FEICA highlights the importance of a reasonable and workable approach to the extension of registration requirements to polymers.
Registration of Polymers – Adhesives and Sealants Industry Perspective
FEICA published a Position Paper with the perspective of the adhesives and sealants industry on the registration of polymers. Polymers are currently exempted from registration under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of REACH. However, Article 138(2) of REACH foresees a possible further review of REACH to extend the registration requirements to polymers.
