Senior industry group created to help companies hit Reach deadlines
A group of chemical-based industry executives and regulators will help EU companies hit a key oncoming deadline for Reach, the EU’s chemical control system.
A group of senior chemical-based industry executives and regulators will help EU companies hit a key oncoming deadline for Reach, the EU’s chemical control system. Under its regulation, chemicals produced or imported in high volumes (or which are particularly hazardous) must be formally registered by 30 November or they cannot be used or sold in the EU.
The new ‘Directors’ Contact Group’ consists of directors from the European Commission, the European Chemicals Agency and industry associations CEFIC, Eurométaux, REACH Alliance, Concawe, FECC and UEAPME. “Its aim is to identify priority issues of concern related to the registration deadline and develop practical solutions,” said a Commission communiqué.
