    Impact of polymer registration on downstream user formulators – SMEs

    POLYESTERS & POLYMERIC PRECURSORS

    Over the course of 2020-2022, the European Commission has been working to 'make a proposal to extend the duty of registration under REACH to certain polymers of concern'. As part of the CARACAL-subgroup on polymers, DUCC and its members, including FEICA, worked to contribute constructively and collaboratively to this discussion.

    Downstream Users - 10 priorities for the REACH revision

    The REACH Regulation is a cornerstone of the EU chemical legislation. Revising REACH means changing the foundation of one of the most comprehensive chemical legislations in the world. Consumers and professional users buy paints, detergents, adhesives, sealants, inks etc., not chemicals. These products, or articles containing these products, are made by DUCC Downstream Users of Chemicals Coordination Group members, including FEICA.

    This paper illustrates the 10 priorities for the REACH revision, as outlined by DUCC and its members.

    Executive Summaries FEICA Priorities - Reform of the restriction and authorisation process: Essential use concept

    FEICA has prepared different Executive Summaries treating as priorities certain initiatives of the European Commission. This Executive Summary treats the essential use concept, which the European Commission intends to apply to all relevant risk-management legislation. The concept now centres on regulating substances in terms of their societal function regarding human health and safety. Some benefits are anticipated, for example, the speeding up of the authorisation process, and clarity for stakeholders concerning chemical safety and sustainability.
