The British Adhesives and Sealants Association (BASA) has expressed concerns that, with the new harmonised classifications under the CLP regulations and the new REACH restriction now having the same compliance date for all actors in the supply chain, companies are facing a perfect storm of regulatory pressure. It argues that while simultaneous deadlines may simplify administration on paper, in practice they compress the entire supply chain's compliance window. For those lower down the chain, that can mean racing against the clock with limited information. And it's a race few can afford to lose.
