The importance of a reasonable and workable approach to the extension of registration requirements to polymers

摘要

FEICA position paper explains the perspective of the adhesives and sealants industry regarding the registration of polymers.Polymers are currently not included in the registration requirements under Regulation(EU) No.1907/2006-Registration,Evaluation,Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals(REACH).However,in terms of Article 138(2) of REACH,a possible further review is foreseen to extend the registration requirements to polymers.If the risk posed by certain polymers can be proven,and practical and cost-efficient ways of selecting polymers requiring registration(PRR) can be established,registration requirements under REACH will be extended to polymers.
