Dall’esenzione all’obbligo: prepararsi alla registrazione dei polimeri conformemente al regolamento REACH

Synopsis

For years, polymers have been exempted from the registration obligations under the EU REACH Regulation. However, with a major regulatory revision expected by the end of 2025, this exemption is set to change. The upcoming framework will introduce new requirements for the notification and registration of certain polymers, bringing significant implications for manufacturers, importers, and downstream users. This presentation will provide an overview of the anticipated changes, with a particular focus on their impact within the paints and coatings industry. Topics will include: • Criteria for identifying polymers requiring registration • Notification data collection requirements • Practical consequences for compliance and market access • Strategic approaches for a smooth transition Through practical examples and case studies, attendees will gain insight into how companies can proactively prepare for these changes, reduce regulatory risks, and position themselves for innovation in a more demanding compliance environment.
