FEICA Guidance on Use Reporting under REACH, version 2
FEICA guidance to assist members in communicating information in the supply chain during the use reporting phase (until 1 December 2009 for the first wave of registrations).
FEICA Internal Briefing Paper on sensitisers.
An overview of the current status of discussions concerning sensitisers, and a summary of FEICA’s activities on the topic.
ECHA Newsletter 2016 Issue 1, February: Supply Chain communication - help yourself, use the tools
ECHA, sector associations and EU Member States have worked for two years to develop tools and templates to improve communication on safe use in the supply chain. The work has got off to a promising start: new tools that help both registrants and downstream users have already been published and many more are in the pipeline.
In this article ECHA has interviewed Divina Gómez, Regulatory Affairs Manager at FEICA, about the use maps being developed for the adhesive and sealant industry helping them to prepare more realistic safety assessments for their REACH registrations.

FEICA has developed sector-specific SPERCs to comply with REACH chemical safety assessments. The SPERCs allow the refinement of the environmental emission estimations, as they provide more realistic parameter values.

FEICA Briefing Paper on Endocine Disruptors (EDs)
Whilst the discussions on Endocrine Disruptors are not yet finalised, this briefing paper aims at giving a short overview of the topic for FEICA members by summarising the steps done so far and the next steps to come.
This second publication in the FEICA 'Guidance at a Glance' series on Exposure Scenarios (ES) addresses the Specific Environmental Release Categories (SPERCs) with an overview of their relevance for FEICA members.
FEICA, among other sector associations, developed SPERCs on a voluntary basis using a recently standardised best practice format .The FEICA SPERCs describe the environmental emissions from typical uses of adhesive and sealants in industrial, professional and do-it-yourself applications, as well as from its product formulation. Together with the recent development of the sector-Specific Worker Exposure Descriptions (SWEDs) and sector-Specific Consumer Exposure Determinants (SCEDs), the SPERCs build the basis for registrants to provide safe use scenarios of their chemicals. For FEICA members they can provide evidence and facilitation in safe use communication.

This first document in the 'Guidance at a Glance - Exposure Scenarios (ES) Series' is a general document to explain FEICA’s contribution to ECHA’s Chemical Safety Report/Exposure Scenario (CSR/ES) roadmap, which sets out an action plan to improve the mechanisms needed to get ready for the next REACH registration deadline in 2018.
FEICA, as an active participant in the programme is committed to deliver its plan actions to achieve the goals of the REACH Regulation for the safe use of chemicals.
To that aim, FEICA has been an active contributor to the development of aspects of the Roadmap, either alone or through its participation in the Downstream Users of Chemicals Coordination group (DUCC). To ensure the link with the registrants, FEICA also collaborates with CEFIC to bring the views of the downstream users.
