Polymers – Webinar Description

Polymers are not regulated in EU under REACH regulation = exempted from EU REACH registration duties.That will be most probably changed in near future.

On the other hands, monomers have to be registered based on specific rules.

Polymers / Plastics are frequently articles (goods) and so under EU legal concept need to comply with the requirements for chemical substances in articles, the EU REACH registration in case of an intentional release,

SCIP requirements in case of SHVCs above 0,1%, new requirements concerning “nano” and more, e.g. under the framework of the EU Plastics Strategy, at the request of the European Commission, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) prepared a restriction dossier under the REACH Regulation targeting intentionally added microplastics in products.

REACH Registration of polymers is under consideration for the EU REACH regulation.
