Consortia

Hydroquinone REACH Consortium

The manufacturers of Hydroquinone have joined efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched the Hydroquinone REACH consortium in February 2010.

The consortium members agreed to cooperate in the preparation of a REACH Registration dossier for Hydroquinone with the aim to cover main uses of the substance. The dossier includes information for harmonised classification and labelling. The consortium   is managed by ReachCentrum. The Lead Registrant, does NOT submit a joint CSR on behalf of the co-registrants of this Joint Submission. 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.
