REACH 2018 Communicators' Network

Spreading the word about the last registration deadline

The last REACH registration deadline will affect thousands of companies that are first-time registrants, and many of them small and medium-sized enterprises. ECHA can't reach this target audience on its own - we need multipliers to join us to maximise the impact of our communication around Europe. The REACH 2018 Communicators' Network was set up to serve this purpose.

The network includes members from the Member State competent authorities, industry organisations, Enterprise Europe Network and ECHA. Its task is to coordinate awareness raising activities for the last deadline of 31 May 2018.

The network supports the implementation of ECHA's REACH 2018 Roadmap, which outlines the Agency's plans to improve the registration process and to help companies in the run up to the registration deadline. It works on a voluntary basis, and mainly virtually. The aim is to coordinate communication activities across the EU Member States and organisations to maximise outreach, to develop and share communication products and to harmonise messaging.

 

Would your organisation like to play a role?

We are constantly looking for new not-for-profit members to join the network. If you organisation represents companies that deal with chemicals (as manufacturers, importers, users) in their daily life, we urge you to join the network. If your organisation is a public interest organisation, you could spread the word to the general public and raise awareness of industry from that side.

If you are interested, read the Terms of Reference and contact reach-2018@echa.europa.eu for more information.
