Information on Construction Chemicals - Use for the REACH registration

A central element of the REACH regulation is the registration of substances. In the registration process, substances are not only registered with their properties but also with the so-called "identified uses".

 
After registration, substances can only be used if the intended use is part of the registration. Within Deutsche Bauchemie, the standard uses of construction chemicals are categorised and described with the so-called "Use Descriptor Systems" of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

Using this information, the substance manufacturers can perform an exposure estimation with the "ECETOC Targeted Risk Assessment" IT tool.

The categorised usage information for the construction chemical industry is presented in a standardised form - the so-called use reports (UseR). Full information is available on a separate website via the following link:
