Our experts have many years of experience in consortium management, helping to support the chemical industry through the REACH compliance process

Consortium Management
” Consortia are an efficient and cost-effective way for potential registrants of a chemical substance to collaborate in order to meet the REACH requirements in time. “

Fulfilling the requirements of REACH 

In 2010, the introduction of REACH (EU regulation designed to protect human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals) compelled manufacturers and importers of the same chemical substance, many of whom are fierce market competitors, to cooperate in a way they had never done before.

To fulfill the requirements of REACH, companies are now required to collaborate in order to develop the joint required REACH registration dossier, share existing substance information, develop new hazard data where required, and to share costs.

Our consortium management services

To provide an administrative and legal framework to meet the REACH data sharing requirements in an efficient and cost-effective way, the chemical industry has organised itself into consortia, consisting of all registrants of a particular chemical substance or group of substances.

Consortium management can be a time consuming and often complex job for organisations. Our team of sustainable chemistry specialists can support you through the entire REACH process with our full spectrum of consortium management services, aiding collaboration and clarification at every step of the way.
