REACH for Coal Chemicals (R4CC) |
|
Cefic “Coal Chemicals Sector Group (CCSG)” is the industry association organising regulatory discussions on coal chemicals with European Authorities and Rapporteur Member States.
The REACH regulation entered into force in June 2007 and most coal derived chemicals will be subject to a European registration under REACH. The member companies of CCSG accept the responsibility to organise the REACH process for coal chemicals, inviting all stakeholders to participate.
The “REACH for Coal Chemicals (R4CC)” consortium is the platform for this cooperation. All companies having REACH obligations as “Manufacturers” or “Importers” and “Only Representatives” are invited to join “R4CC” as Member after the necessary discussions to clarify the applicable substance information exchange forums (SIEFs). “Downstream Users” of REACH-regulated coal chemicals may have an interest in receiving progress reports on registration dossiers and providing exposure information for the “Chemical Safety Assessment” (CSA). Downstream users are invited to join as Associate Members.
This site informs all interested parties on relevant topics related to the REACH registration of coal chemicals and the covered substance inventory.
Pre– Registration of Coal Chemicals
