SIEF Communication
The consortium has sucessfully established SIEFs for all its substances.
A SIEF agreement and a cost estimate for Epichlorohydrin is now available. Please find further information under item 'Epichlorohydrin' below.
Lead Registrants are:
Dow for Epichlorohydrin and 1,2,3-Trichloropropane
Solvay for Allylchloride
The SIEF agreement for Epichlorohydrin is now available on the Allylics Consortium website and can also by picked up from SIEFreach. It includes the cost sharing basis for the Letter of Access (LoA) and an estimate for the potential LoA cost. A 'Game Plan' for the signature of the SIEF agreement and the payment process for the LoA is also available.
SIEFreach will be used as main communication platform for the Epichlorohydrin SIEF. E-mail messages will be the main way to update the SIEF members on the dossier preparation or request their input when this is required for a decision to be taken. REACH-IT is used to convey key messages to all pre-registrants. Substance Identity has been confirmed.
The Allylics consortium has finalized the cost calculation for the Epichlorohydrin REACH registration dossier. The cost for Letters of Access (LoA) have been determined and can be made available by the consortium manager on request.
22 Legal Entities declared their intention to register this substance of which: 3 Leading, 5 Involved and 14 Passive. The SIEF also comprises 266 LEs that do not want to file a registration dossier for now and were thus assigned a Dormant status. Due to the small size of the SIEF no specific communication tools (such as SIEFreach or others) will be used. Instead, e-mail messages will be the main way to update the SIEF members on the dossier preparation or request their input when this is required for a decision to be taken. In addition, REACH-IT may be used to convey specific messages if and when appropriate.
The main use descriptors and use description rules have been identified by the consortium members and have been approved by the active SIEF members
SIEFreach will be used as main communication platform for the trichloropropane SIEF. E-mail messages will be the main way to update the SIEF members on the dossier preparation or request their input when this is required for a decision to be taken. REACH-IT is used to convey key messages to all pre-registrants. Substance Identity has been confirmed.
The main use descriptors and use description rules have been identified by the consortium members and have been approved by the active SIEF members.
