ECHA and stakeholders set out actions to improve chemical safety reports and safety data sheets

ECHA has today published a roadmap towards enhancing the quality of the information communicated in the exposure scenarios of the REACH chemical safety reports and the extended safety data sheets. These documents hold essential information on the safe use of chemical substances and mixtures for downstream users, authorities and REACH registrants alike.

The roadmap, which sets out a long-term action plan, has been prepared together by Cefic, DUCC, Concawe, eight Member States and ECHA. In addition, various industry associations and Member States have already signed up. ECHA is now calling for more stakeholders to join in.

Further information on the actions foreseen and how to contribute to them is available on ECHA's website. The webpages will be regularly updated to provide information on the current status of the work in the different actions.
