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.

Presentation - FEICA Webinar - Understanding the CLP Revision FINAL
During this FEICA webinar, we discussed a revised Regulation on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of chemicals (CLP). The revision of the Regulation has resulted in changes in many areas, such as new hazard classes, classification, labelling inventory, CLH and grouping, digital labelling, advertisement and notification of substances to Poison Centres.

Guidance and assistance on the implementation of the restriction on synthetic polymer microparticles (SPM)
As an update to the inclusion of SPM, entry 78, in Annex XVII of REACH by Regulation (EU) 2023/2055 on 27 September 2023, FEICA developed a guidance and assistance paper for the industry. The document addresses the following issues: implementation deadlines, scope, obligations, assessment of level of concern, and outlook.

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).

ASMoR Position Paper on Green Claims Directive
To ensure consumers can make sustainable consumption choices and contribute to a circular economy it is key that they are provided with reliable, comparable, and verifiable environmental information about goods or services they want to purchase. In this context, ASMoR, of which FEICA is a member, welcomes the goals and principles of the European Commission’s proposal for a Green Claims Directive (Directive on the substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims) and the possibility of using internationally recognized methodologies to calculate and communicate the environmental impact of a product.
ASMoR’s paper on the proposal for a Directive on Green Claims has been published and can be consulted here.
The Alliance for Sustainable Management of Chemical Risk (‘ASMoR’) is an alliance of more than 30 members that share a common position on the Essential Use Concept (‘EUC’) in EU chemicals policy.
