Our Industrial Chemicals – REACH services team is specialised in the area of ecotoxicology, chemical fate and behaviour as well as physico-chemical properties of industrial chemicals. Additional areas are covered through the reliable and successful co-operation with ECT’s partners.

Since 2003, ECT has worked on more than 30 SIDS Dossiers (Screening Information DataSet) for high production volume chemicals (HPV). In close cooperation with industrial companies, consortia and competent authorities, SIDS Dossiers, SIARs (SIDS Initial Assessment Reports) and SIAPs (SIDS Initial Assessment Profile) of more than ten ICCA/HPV chemicals (incl. chemical categories) have been successfully submitted.
