Downstream users
ECHA video: "Who is a downstream user under REACH and CLP?"
Users of chemicals do not always know when they are "downstream users" under REACH and CLP. ECHA has produced a short video to simply describe the roles and different types of downstream users and direct viewers to further information. The aim of the video is to reach people who do not necessarily know their role or where to find further information.
We are interested in hearing your views about the video and invite you to share them with us through a short questionnaire. The link to the questionnaire is available at the end of the video.
