The leading manufacturers of Bisphenol A have joined efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched the BPA REACH Consortium.
Through the BPA REACH Consortium, the manufacturers have decided to join efforts to prepare a consistent registration dossier for Bisphenol A. The project management and secretariat of the consortium is handled by ReachCentrum.
The following substance has to be registered under the REACH legislation and is covered in the BPA consortium:
| Type of Substance | IUPAC Number | Other names | EINECS Number | CAS name | CAS number |
| Mono-constituent Substance | 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane | Bisphenol A BPA 4,4'-Isopropylidenediphenol 4,4'-(1-Methylethylidene)bisphenol 4,4'-Dihydroxydiphenylpropane 4,4'-(Propane-2,2-diyl)diphenol 4,4'-Isopropylidenebisphenol |
201-245-8 | Phenol, 4,4'-(1-methylethylidene)bis- | 80-05-7 |
The BPA REACH consortium structure includes Steering and Technical Committees and the consortium secretariat managed by ReachCentrum.
The consortium is open to any applicant fulfilling the membership criteria - manufacturers/ importers/ only representatives as defined in the REACH Regulation of the substance on its own, in preparations or in articles and that are subject to the registration requirements pursuant to the REACH Regulation, or Affiliates thereof.
The BPA REACH consortium has adopted the Cefic proposal for the coding of SIEFs and has accordingly communicated with SIEF pre-registrants.
