Chemical Watch published an article on the ADCR Consortium (on 8 August)
The article points out that seven Aerospace & Defence companies have taken the initiative to address the issues faced by the sector when it comes to the authorisation of chromates under the EU’s REACH Regulation. The focus is on 8 chromates that have already gone through the REACH authorisation process, with sunset dates of September 2017 or January 2019.
Chemical Watch quotes Steve George of Rolls-Royce, the chair of the group of seven companies,
“A "key lesson" from the first set of applications is that the only way to ensure the uses of concern to every aerospace and defence supply chain are fully covered, is for much wider participation from among these (downstream user) companies.”
As noted on the homepage, the launch meeting of the ADCR Consortium will be held in Brussels on 20 September 2019. Prior to the launch event, stakeholders interested in learning more about the ADCR consortium and the issues facing this sector can register to attend a webinar, where there will also be the opportunity to ask questions (https://www.adcr-consortium.eu/adcr-re-authorisation-webinars).
Update: 10/10/2019:
