REACH technical support for the Lower Olefins and Aromatics Consortium
We are working with colleagues, including Penman Consulting and RSA, to provide technical and strategic advice to the Lower Olefins and Aromatics REACH Consortium which includes 170 Lower Olefin and Aromatic Substances and 15 Categories. Major activities in this project are to:
- Develop joint technical dossiers for registration purposes.
- Gather and assess existing studies.
- Identify data gaps, apply read-across approaches where possible, assess opportunities for exposure-based waivers.
- Develop and carry out testing proposals to close identified data gaps, prepare study summaries and robust study summaries.
- Develop uniform classification and labelling proposals according to GHS.
- Prepare Chemical Safety Reports and ‘Guidance on safe use’ in respect of uses common to at least half of the Members.
- Perform risk assessments.
- Initiate testing where required.
