CEMBUREAU identifies uses of (substances) in cement

Within the framework of REACHⁱ, substances have to be registered for specific uses. Following a consultation of CEMBUREAU members and contacts with upstream and downstream industry association sectors related to cement, a list of uses of components in cement was prepared. The description of the uses follows the codes which are given in the ECHAⁱ guidance document on Chemical Safety Assessment, chapter 12, use descriptor system (http://guidance.echa.europa.eu/docs/guidance_document/information_requirements_en.htm?time=1258649944).

In order to ensure that components in cement will be registered for these uses by upstream suppliers of cement companies and to inform downstream customers of cement companies about the uses which will be considered in the registration dossiers, CEMBUREAU will send this list to several other organisations.

A document published by CONCAWEⁱ (Conservation of Clean Air and Water in Europe), gives an overview of the identified uses of petroleum products.
