Affecting registration and safe use demonstration requirements

• • A strong focus on demonstrating the safe use under Combined exposure: The MAF factor
    • Is it a challenge, what can be done about it and how to demonstrate?
  • Extending the requirements for low volume chemicals:
    • What would it mean in practice
    • Can it not more efficient?
  • Extending the registration requirements to Polymers:
    • A stepwise approach would be needed

REACH 2.0 focus on improving / updating the Risk management of chemicals in the EU

• • The core: a reform of the risk management tools
  • New concepts: EUC, challenges and implementation?
  • More focus on Consumers: GRA

But also other aspects may require attention:

• • How can a better balance between Chemicals, Climate and Circularity be assured?
    • Suggestions for such an approach
  • How to achieve better focus on “what matters”:
    • The need for more and better prioritisation
  • EU resilience: is REACH neglecting the need of the EU for materials ?
  • How can better coordination of enforcement help with levelling the playing field
  • Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) – state of the art
