Summer Reading - Part two |
|
For some of you the summer holidays may just have started, for others they may just have ended. For us at FINAT the work goes on, whatever the season may be. We have uploaded a number of documents on the new FINAT website and we are now preparing for Labelexpo Europe. August and September are going to be busy months, but If you can find the time, we invite you to have a look at the latest edition of our FINAT RADAR. Incoming FINAT President Chris Ellison, who previewed the results, reported to be pleased that the industry has continued the positive trend of the previous years. With volume growth rates in excess of 5% and sales growth exceeding 7% over the past 4 years, the European self-adhesive label and narrow-web industry is certainly going through dynamic times. What better way to start your day than to indulge yourself in a bit of reading and to plunge into a source of invigorating and inspirational information. |

ECHA updates guidance on SVHCs in articles ECHA has published a comprehensive update of guidance on substances of very high concern in articles, including new examples in line with the 2015 European Court of Justice ruling. The guidance gives more clarity on the communication and notification obligations of companies when substances of very high concern are contained in articles. The CheMI platform, in which FINAT has a seat, was part of the expert group involved in the update. The document can be found here. IUCLID Cloud launched – simpler for smaller companies For members needing to register chemicals under REACH, the European Chemicals Agency had made available a cloud version of the chemical data management tool IUCLID for SMEs. Consultants helping SMEs with their registrations are welcome to subscribe too. In the cloud, you can prepare your REACH registration dossier directly online so there is no need for local installation. ECHA Cloud services |
