Awareness Raising on REACH and CLP Regulations for Turkish Chemical Industry and Building up of Regional Industrial Helpdesks Netherlands bilateral co-operation Programme G2G09/TR/9/2. Seminar – Dec. 15 2010 Bursa Turkey rps.nl
Summary • Introduction of the project • REACH and CLP in brief • Project progress • News and updates on REACH discussion
G2G09/TR/9/2 project • Assigned by EVD (now Agency NL) on behalf of the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment • Jan 1 2010 – March 31 2011
Aim of the project • Raise awareness of the REACH and CLP Regulations • Enhance capacity of Turkish organizations to provide support to the Turkish exporters on the implementation of REACH and CLP.
Turkish stakeholders • UFT (counterpart/beneficiary) • MoEF (counterpart/beneficiary); • IGEME • IMMIB • TKSD • KOSGEB • TOBB
Focus on priorities: • High volumes (chemicals with greatest likely exposure register first) • Greatest concern (CMR and R50/53 register first) REACH: KEY ELEMENTS • Introduces a Single Coherent System for new (non phase-in) and existing (phase-in) substances • Key elements: • Registration by industry of manufactured/imported chemical substances > 1 tonne/year (staggered dead-lines over 11years) • Increased information and communication throughout the supply chain • Evaluation of some registered substances (Agency and Member States) • Authorisation only for use of substances of very high concern • Restrictions: “Safety net” (Community wide action) • Chemicals Agency to efficiently manage the system
Interconnections REACH GHS CLP
What is CLP? • Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packing of substances and mixtures • Amending Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and 1999/45/EC (DPD) • Amending REACH • Implements Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of Classification and labelling in the EU • Covers all 27 EU and EEA countries • GHS sets optional building blocks from which countries can choose

Project approach • Assessment of current situation and available capacity, information and materials; • Development of a logical system of helpdesks (with InfoMil and VNCI assistance); • Training to increase capabilities of staff in the helpdesks contact points and the most involved stakeholders; • Information dissemination to Turkish industry to inform about the industrial helpdesks and about REACH and CLP Regulations.
