What is meant by Downstream Uses under REACH?
For products classified as hazardous, the registrant (manufacturers and importers) needs to demonstrate that they are safe to human health and the environment. To do so, information has been collected about the handling and use of products and the potential for exposure to humans as well as to the environment. These identified downstream uses are described using the descriptor system as lined out in the REACH guidance document for chemical safety assessments, Chapter R.12: Use descriptor system. • What information is provided on REACH MEGlobal? The communication of downstream uses via spreadsheets for Ethylene Glycol and Diethylene Glycol is part of an on-going strategy to make MEGlobal customers’ roles in complying with REACH easier. The downstream use spreadsheets allow customers to look up Downstream Use (DU) information for products they purchase from MEGlobal in Europe. Downstream uses (DUs) and downstream uses exposure scenarios (DU-ESs) displayed in the spreadsheets are identifi
