It is now easier to find information on 120 000 chemicals used in Europe today. There is now a new, easier way to find out about the chemicals we use on a daily basis. The information is available in three layers of complexity: the simple infocard, the more detailed brief profile and the full source data.

DUCC publishes safe use of mixtures document

Formulators have an important and challenging role under REACH in communicating safe use conditions of mixtures. Approaches have been developed under the CSR/ES roadmap which are now ready for formulators to use. DUCC has released an explanatory document on "sector-specific approaches towards developing and communicating information for the safe use of mixtures" which includes a template on the safe use of mixtures information (SUMI).
