Hydroquinon REACH consortium
The manufacturers of HYDROQUINON have joined efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched the HYDROQUINON REACH consortium in February 2010.
Consortium activities
The consortium members agreed to cooperate in the preparation of a REACH Registration dossier for HYDROQUINON with the aim to cover main uses of the substance. The dossier will include information for harmonised classification and labelling. The consortium is managed by ReachCentrum.
The Lead Registrant, will NOT submit a joint CSR on behalf of the co-registrants of this SIEF. Instead the Lead Registrant will make the CSR (including chapters B3-8 of IUCLID) available for the most common end-uses for all co-registrants. Co-registrants can add (when needed) their specific end-uses to their own IUCLID (chapter 13) registration file.
