The British Coatings Federation (BCF) has called for a “reset” in the development of a UK-REACH system that supports UK businesses amid growing concern that a workable solution remains a long way off.
Speaking at the BCF’s Annual Conference, held on Thursday May 25, Chief Executive Tom Bowtell said, “After years of back and forth, it is becoming increasingly clear that the government’s plan for establishing a UK REACH regime is not going to be successful as industry requires. We welcome the current pause applied to the REACH registration deadlines but work on an alternative registration model also seems not to be addressing many of the concerns that led to that pause in the first place.
