FEPA informs all companies that currently use naphthalene for the production of abrasives or will use this substance in the future that European manufacturers of naphthalene have officially informed us that they indent to register naphthalene only as intermediate. This means there might be serious difficulties to get naphthalene for the use in abrasives production after December 2010.
Against this background, abrasives manufacturers gathered in FEPA have decided to form a consortium that is preparing those parts of a REACH registration dossier that are required for the use of this substance in the abrasive industry. The consortium will work under the umbrella of FEPA.
Membership in this consortium will be the best and most cost efficient solution for companies needing naphthalene also after 2010.
Information about membership and consortium agreement will be communicated upon request at FEPA.
FEPA also strongly recommends to these companies to do pre-registration for naphthalene. |
