FEICA Webinar Use Maps Presentation Slides.pdf

Uploaded April 15, 2021

These are the presentation slides of the FEICA webinar which took place on 15 April 2021 on implementing sector use maps.

In case you missed the webinar, we listed the key takeaways here:

- Use maps play a key role in supply chain communication and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) encourages their implementation

- FEICA use maps cover the majority of typical uses for sealants and adhesives in industrial and professional as well as consumer settings

- Using ECHA’s CHEmical Safety Assessment and Reporting tool (CHESAR) to implement FEICA use maps saves time for registrants

- The improvements derived from the implementation of use maps will only be noticeable when applied to a majority of raw materials used in adhesives and sealants

FEICA Use Map Guidance.pdf

Uploaded April 13, 2021

FEICA Use Map Guidance

The REACH Regulation EC 1907/2006 requires to include with the registration of substances, a chemical safety assessment on the whole life cycle of a chemical. The result of such an assessment is communicated downstream via exposure scenarios (ES) attached to the safety data sheet (SDS) of the substance. Downstream users such as formulators or users of adhesives and sealants are required to take this information on safe use into account in their own documents and adjust their own use conditions accordingly. To assist this process, several downstream user associations under the umbrella of DUCC (Downstream Users of Chemicals Coordination Group), have summarised their typical uses by including state-of-the-art use conditions of main applications in so-called use maps.

This guidance is not intended to describe the full use map concept but rather the specifics of applying the FEICA use map. More information on the safe use of mixtures is available via the FEICA public website.

Brexit update

In our previous briefing paper, we examined the potential outcomes of the UK leaving the EU with and without a deal. A “no deal” scenario was avoided and the UK left the EU with a signed withdrawal agreement. We’d like to take the opportunity to update you with our current understanding of the implications of these developments on our industry.

How to improve your supply chain communication by implementing sector use maps.pdf

New FEICA leaflet: How to improve your supply chain communication by implementing sector use maps

In October 2016, FEICA use maps were made available for substance registrants. FEICA use maps compile, in a harmonised and structured way, the majority of the industrial and professional applications of the adhesive and sealant sector. The use maps packages comprise the use map template, which provides the general description of the uses and three separate templates providing the inputs needed to carry out exposure assessments, for workers (SWEDs), environment (SPERCs) and consumers (SCEDs).

Now, a campaign to increase the implementation of FEICA use maps in registrants dossiers has been started by the FEICA Mixture Assessment Task Force (TF). Together with the FEICA webinar that will take place on 15 April 2021, and the development of a guidance document to support registrants with the implementation of the packages, the TF has now made available this informative leaflet. We encourage our members to share this leaflet with your raw materials suppliers (i.e. through your procurement departments).Your support to increase the visibility of all the work done by the TF is of paramount importance and would be greatly appreciated.

It is also available from the FEICA information centre and our dedicated FEICA webpage on the safe of of mixtures.

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.

Manufacturers of low-volume customised polymers at the end of the supply chain.pdf

FEICA publishes Position Paper on manufacturers of low-volume customised polymers at the end of the supply chain

Formulators at the end of supply chains such as adhesives and sealants manufacturers often customise polymers, which results in new polymer species. Thus, those formulators, which are currently downstream users (DUs) under REACH legislation, may become potential polymer registrants in future if the new polymer would be subject to the obligation of registration. Such customisation is required in order to fulfil technical feasibility and customer requirements as well as regulatory needs.
