NTRODUCTION

Compliances with the REACh Policy of European Union is expensive and it is necessary for the chemical manufacturers to strategize for incurring least costs. The polymers are exempted from registration but there are tremendous implications for polymer manufacturers.

Seminar will highlight following:

1. REACh and Polymers
   
   1. Registration of monomers.
   2. Technical Guidance on Polymers
      
      1. Monomers are intermediates not subject registration, but, not controlled intermediates.
      2. Unbound substances in polymer that need not be registered.
      3. Restriction and Authorization of polymers
   3. Polymers as such, in preparations and articles
      1. How IUCLID-5 accounts treats preparations
      2. The REACh Law in terms of Articles.
   4. NLP Polymers
   5. Classification & Labeling (C&L) of polymers
      
      1. Substances
      2. Preparation
         
         1. C&L of preparations under 1999/45/ec.
         2. C&L of preparations under GHS SDS system.
2. Regulatory Information in terms of polymers
   
   1. Search for CAS RN of a complex polymer.
      1. The Structural Repeat Units of a Polymer (SRU) methodology
   2. Chemlist search for regulatory information.
   3. The Toxic Substances Control Act Test Submissions (TSCATS) search
   4. Other regulatory information on STN
3. REACh in the supply chain
   
   1. The REACh law on Articles
   2. Timetable for Registration, Authorization and Restriction
   3. The Authorization Process
   4. Why imported articles will have more issues than article made in the EU.
   5. Supply chain analysis
4. Case Study: Inks, Paints and Plastic Toys.
5. Migration in laminates under indirect food contact law of the EU. To be contrasted with TSCA.
