REACH Regulation

The BAMA/FEA Indoor Air Model can be helpful in performing exposure assessments under the REACH Regulation and is then described in the ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.15: Consumer exposure assessment.

The BAMA/FEA Indoor Air Model has also been used in the A.I.S.E. REACT tool.

FEA is a founding member of the Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination group (DUCC) a platform of European associations which represents important downstream industries ranging from cosmetics and detergents to aerosols, paints, inks, toners, pressroom chemicals, adhesives and sealants, construction chemicals, fragrances, disinfectants, lubricants, crop protection and chemical distributor industries.
DUCC focuses on the downstream users’ needs, rights, duties and specificities under REACH and CLP.

FEA interacts with relevant manufacturers and downstream users to ensure the appropriate covering of the propellant gases and main solvents uses of all aerosol products. FEA actively supported A.I.S.E. for the development of Specific Consumers Exposure Determinants (SCEDs) to facilitate consumer exposure assessments for Air Care aerosol products and polishes/wax spray products.

FEA is also an ECHA’s accredited stakeholder organisation and provides a focused expertise on an ad hoc base.
