    ASMoR recommendations on the Risk Management Option Analysis (RMOA)

    Effective and modern chemicals management requires a balance of protection, competitiveness, and innovation. It must be dynamic to address emerging risks, whilst avoiding over-regulation. An effective Risk Management Option Analysis (RMOA) framework is essential for evaluating safe use options, analysing viable alternatives, and developing adequate risk management strategies. This approach optimises the workload for authorities and industry without compromising safety and innovation. This document covers this approach and ASMoR recommendations on RMOA.

    FEICA is a member of the Alliance for Sustainable Management of Chemical Risk (ASMoR). The common goal of ASMoR's members is to ensure that safe uses of substances remain permitted.

  • Recommendation on Assessment of Regulatory Needs (ARNs).pdf

    Uploaded 11 Jan 2024

    DUCC supports joint recommendation for clarity on Assessment of Regulatory Needs (ARNs)

    ARNs, initiated by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), serve as a preliminary step to evaluate the necessity of regulatory risk management for substances. After group assessments, 60% of substances are deemed not to require additional regulatory measures, while the remaining 40% necessitate further data collection to determine and implement appropriate regulatory risk management measures.

    The ARN tool facilitates anticipation of potential regulatory actions, encouraging industry engagement in the process and proactivity in updating dossier information.

  • Adhesives in the regulation of end-of-life vehicles.pdf

    Uploaded 04 Dec 2023

    FEICA publishes paper on adhesives in the regulation of end-of-life vehicles

    In July 2023, the EC published a proposal for a regulation on circularity requirements for vehicle design and end-of-life vehicles (‘ELV regulation proposal’, document COM(2023)451).

    In this paper, FEICA argues that: 

    • The explicit and generalised mention of adhesives as an impediment to the dismantling and recycling in the ELV regulation proposal is inaccurate, as adhesives can allow for and even enable successful dismantling and recycling.

    • The current wording constitutes an uneven playing field as other materials and bonding technologies which may prevent dismantling and/or recycling are not mentioned.

    • The mention of specific materials or technologies which are to be considered in the circular design strategies and in fee modulation for vehicles should be provided, if at all, in secondary legislation or guidance only.

    • Any mention of specific materials or bonding technologies should be sufficiently specific and reflective of the existing practices, successes and limitations of end-of-life vehicle dismantling and recycling.

    Uploaded 03 Dec 2023

    Industry shares with the European Commission its reservations regarding the intention to nominate D4, D5 and D6 as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention

    The nomination of D4, D5 and D6 as POPs put at risk their intermediate use to produce silicone polymers, as well as many applications of silicone polymers. Please also see Annex A and Annex B (POP nomination of D4, D5, D6).

    Call for urgent dialogue and a rethink regarding CLP Revision – 3 key aspects that will have a major negative impact on industry and the environment

    11 European associations (including FEICA) representing producers, product formulators (downstream users), distributors and end users of chemicals, expressed their strong concerns regarding the ongoing revision of the Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP). While we acknowledge the importance of ensuring clear and concise information on product labels, we firmly believe that the impact of the changes proposed in the revised CLP regulation has been greatly underestimated in the European Commission's impact assessment, especially with regard to minimum requirements for labelling.
