Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

Foreword Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased to welcome you to third annual service providers guide and directory. When we launched this publication series, we were responding to our readers who wanted information about the service providers out there, who they are, what they do and also some context in terms of the overall market and what everyone else is saying and doing. This combination of intelligence has proved to be a winning formula with copies of our guide going like hot cakes at conference and exhibitions. Continuing to respond to reader feedback, in this third edition we have split our survey of opinions into three separate surveys in order to improve response rate still further â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to over 1,300 respondents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and get a grainier picture. A star feature is our first review of the jobs market, including a survey to find out how much various personnel in chemicals regulatory compliance and related service industries actually earn, and to see how satisfied they are with their jobs! Can you afford not to take a look?

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

In addition, we provide a first in-depth article written by our author Cynthia Challener examining the policies and politics concerning chemicals regulation and risk management in the US. And, of course, we bring you the findings of our annual survey, looking at the drivers, issues and progress with regulatory compliance, looking at what service providers and their clients dealt with in 2012 and their predictions for 2013. We are also continuously improving the directory section of the guide to ensure it provides companies with a quick and unbiased review of the different services offered by each provider to save them time and money, and give them a robust selection of firms to choose from to meet their compliance needs. We hope you enjoy reading our longer-than-ever guide and look forward to your feedback for next year.

Introduction Effective chemicals management and control programmes cover the full lifecycle of chemicals manufactured, processed, used as raw materials or sold. As such, they touch all aspects of a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations from new product development to purchasing to customer selection and support. They also require an extensive skill set, including, but not limited to, regulatory, administrative, project and information management, legal, chemistry, toxicology, laboratory and software expertise. Much of this work can be completed in-house at larger firms, and has

been done, even as budgets have shrunk due to declining sales, but is generally outsourced by SMEs. Even for large companies, however, there are many times that specialist skills or a particular type of experience are required to ensure successful project implementation. Firms offering consultancy/advisory, management/administrative, legal, training, laboratory and technical, information/data management and software/IT services fill these needs. In the following pages, we take a closer look at some of the key drivers, discussions, issues and solutions ongoing in this dynamic market.

CHEMICALS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

Increasing complexity extends throughout the supply chain EU REACH, country-specific chemical management regulations, country-specific GHS requirements and product-specific legislation on biocides, agricultural chemicals and cosmetic products place growing burdens on not only chemical manufacturers and processors and their distributors and direct customers, but all firms that produce or handle products containing chemicals identified as presenting some risk or hazard. Simply staying abreast of these various regulatory requirements is a real challenge for companies selling in multiple countries and regional markets, and often a new process for many downstream users. Compliance requires both significant resources and extensive knowledge, which, in the current difficult economic climate, can be overwhelming even for larger organisations to access, and may not be possible for smaller- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to obtain. Many companies, therefore, are delaying activities or taking minimalist approaches to compliance, while others remain unaware of their responsibilities. Some of the impacts of this situation on the chemicals management and control service providers market were observed in 2012, and more are expected to come to the fore in 2013.

Leading drivers Not surprisingly, REACH and GHS compliance requirements helped continue to drive the workload of chemicals management and control professionals in 2012. survey confirm that The results of the REACH is a major regulatory driver (Figure 1). In fact, an overwhelming 89% of survey participants cited REACH as the main global driver, followed by the EU CLP Regulation (65%), and other national schemes for the Globally

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

Harmonized System (GHS) for chemicals classification and labelling (46% of respondents). Other drivers include US TSCA inventory reporting requirements and biocides regulations. Notably, 27% of respondents specifically mentioned Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new chemical notification (MEP order 7). The next REACH deadline is 31 May 2013, and forwardthinking companies were preparing. Others were dealing with ECHA decisions on phase one registrations and beginning the authorisation process. Work also continued on extended safety data sheets (eSDSs) and exposure scenario development as required by REACH and CLP. In addition, reflecting work in industry, many service providers experienced higher workloads related to productspecific regulations, and all of these regulations drove demand for laboratory testing services and increased the need for more extensive software and data management capabilities. A leading fragrance and flavour company, for example, has a large EU portfolio of manufactured and imported chemicals and continues to invest in new and developing markets that are introducing increasingly challenging regulations, for example, in Asia. The changing global registration environment and chemical management and control issues have focused greater regulatory attention on such markets for the company, according to a company spokesperson. For another multinational, Eastman Chemical Company, meeting the requirements of the new US Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) Rule was a major concern in 2012, along with REACH and Asian regulations. While Jan SchĂźller, director REACH & regulatory affairs for Eastman Chemical EMEA B.V., expects GHS requirements will be big in 2013.

Some were very specific, such as the Australian OHS regulation, Canada’s chemical regulations, the US state of California’s green chemistry initiative, and the EU’s Directives on the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) and on toy safety. Others were concerned with additional programmes that have international scope, including the Chemicals

Weapon Convention and updates to protocols, the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air (IATA), and the Stockholm Convention. Non-regulatory drivers can have a significant impact on the growth of the chemicals management and control sector as well. Not surprisingly, 49% of participants in the survey identified economic growth as the major factor (Figure 2). Not far behind were customer pressure (42% of respondents) and governmental polices/ spending (37% of participants). Other non-regulatory

Key trends and issues in chemicals management and control Requests for REACH support varied significantly for many service providers, but continued to account for a good portion of business in 2012. The main activities included preparation for the second registration deadline for substances with sales volumes of 100-1000 tonne, responding to ECHA decisions on substances submitted during the first phase, and the beginning of activities related to authorisation. For example, the majority of work for independent registration and development management services firm LKC involved administration of data sharing in advance of the May 2013 registration deadline,

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

including communication obligations within the supply chain, according to COO, Matthew Kane. Others have found, however, that the global recession has taken a toll on REACH activity. Where possible, notes Stephen Van Heerden, Sales Director at REACHLaw Ltd, many companies have switched the 2013 REACH registrations to the 2018 REACH deadline due to the impact of the economic recession on resources. José V. Cantavella Cabedo, project manager for Sief/Consortia/Business Development at Chemsafe Srl, adds that not many large companies are taking the Lead Registrant role, which may mean that a number of chemicals will not be registered. Dieter Reiml, with TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH, agrees that many companies are delaying the process despite experiences from 2010, and there is as yet little action in many substance information exchange fora (Siefs). Even those who are taking action and have first phase experience are finding it difficult, because there is less data available on the substances involved, testing labs are at least partly overloaded, and the ‘rules and conditions’ continue to change, including an update to the IUCLID software and the publication of new guidance from ECHA, according to Klaus Schneider, general manager, Forschungs-und Beratungsinstitut Gefahrstoffe GmbH (FoBiG). “We are concerned that many substances remain unsupported, and that a last minute rush to submit dossiers will swamp both testing houses and regulatory consultancy firms,” concludes Samantha Wright, regulatory affairs: REACH, with JSC International. Beyond that, she is also concerned that substances that are not supported could be taken off the market, which would have a knock-on effect on a range of different products. In addition to preparing for the second phase of REACH, companies have also had to begin dealing with the consequences of the first phase of the programme. Companies have had to respond quickly to ECHA’s draft decisions on evaluation of 2010 submitted dossiers in order to prevent them from becoming final, according to Barbara Vogt, a principal with Tox Focus LLC. “Some involved clarification and refinement of scientific positions, while others were simply corrections of administrative errors. However, resubmission of a corrected dossier was made more complex due to the need to gain consensus among Sief participants and to upgrade the dossier from IUCLID 5, version 3 to version 4. As a result, the time and cost was often higher than anticipated,” she comments. Some updates had to be made, according to Karl-Franz Torges, managing partner of KFT Chemieservice GmbH, because other registrants wanted to join and were only prepared to join if the quality of the dossier was improved. Test proposals from the first phase of REACH and spontaneous dossier updates were also a bigger proportion of business for consultancy CEHTRA. “ECHA has begun to challenge testing proposals, categories and read-across strategies, with potentially expensive consequences for registrants,” says Paul Thomas, senior ecotoxicologist and director of its Lyon Agency Meanwhile law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP was involved in the legal assessment of several ECHA compliance check decisions and brought two cases before the Board of Appeal. The consequent workload from REACH registrations is not likely to lessen any time soon, our respondents feel. REACHLaw’s Mr Van Heerden adds that a lot of companies that submitted intermediate registrations as an easy way out have found that they must redo their dossiers, which has doubled their costs. “As time goes on,

drivers noted by one in five or more respondents included NGO pressure and voluntary corporate initiatives. In addition, several very specific and interesting issues were pointed out by survey respondents, including green chemistry initiatives, the advancement of electronic monitoring and detection devices, the integration of science within the regulatory framework, the knowledge and expertise loss due to retirement, the need to demonstrate efficiency and discontinuation of products in the supply base.

Extended safety data sheets Extended safety data sheets (eSDSs) and exposure scenarios created much work for all types of service providers. Not only did eSDSs require updating with new data and a new format, but the annexes summarising exposure scenarios had to be developed and

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

manufacturers had to incorporate use information for raw materials based on the eSDSs received from suppliers, according to Benoit Fraysse, an eco-toxicologist with Equitox. NCEC’s Dr Whiting notes that it has been difficult in some cases to ensure that the given scenarios match a company’s actual uses. Publication of the classification and labelling inventory on ECHA’s website also reportedly caused headaches, because many downstream users thought it was an ‘official’ classification that would require changes to eSDSs. One of the biggest challenges has been the hesitation by companies to prepare or to order eSDSs. There is still a lot of uncertainty whether this approach will be the solution for the future, according to KFT Chemieservice’s Mr Torges. He notes that most large international clients that initially supplied the annexes as separate PDF documents in English are planning to supply legally compliant eSDSs during 2013. “Developing comprehensive, compliant, and accurate exposure scenarios and eSDSs is incredibly timeintensive and can burden a company’s in-house product stewardship and regulatory compliance resources,” asserts Jeffrey Starr, vice president of marketing for 3E Company. “As such, companies are increasingly partnering with reliable outsourced solution providers. While there is no single ‘REACH Solution’ that can be purchased that takes care of all aspects of REACH, there are reliable providers, who are well-versed in data and information as it relates to global Environmental Health and Safety regulations, and who thoroughly understand the EU regulatory environment that are available to help.” For Agnes Botos, REACH, GHS, ADR, and EHS consultant with GHS Expert, mixture classification also became a noticeable issue in 2012, as companies began looking toward the June 2015 CLP deadline. In fact, about 25% of KFT Chemieservice’s clients ordered eSDSs for mixtures according to CLP requirements. Mixtures present a complex issue, however. “Our clients do have some concerns about how substances and exposure scenarios from the REACH process translate into data for mixtures at the production and safety data sheet stage,” NCEC’s Dr Whiting indicates. “We hope that industry will work together to take a pragmatic approach on this element, although it may prove the case that adopting CLP for mixtures highlights a number of data gaps in the process, and filling those gaps will be a key task in 2013.” Testing labs were particularly affected by CLP requirements and found clients needing help with testing of compounds to determine the substance classification, the development of ad-hoc testing strategies and eSDS preparation once the testing data was obtained, according to Carlotta Casalegno, regulatory & development specialist with ChemService Srl Controlli e ricerche. The tests in most demand in 2012 were aquatic long-term tests on invertebrates (OECD 211 on Daphnia) and biodegradation tests, which she expects will remain popular in 2013.

Building GHS alignment Implementation of the GHS is another complex issue, largely because while there is an international UN framework, each country had adopted its own version, and thus the requirements still differ from country to country. “As much as GHS is meant to drive global harmonisation, individual countries are allowed to select the physical hazards, the health and environment classes and the associated categories within each class that they wish to adopt, and most countries that have implemented

we are convinced that ECHA will dig deeper into dossier quality and the current industry policy of minimising Annex IX and X test proposals will probably be scrutinised,” predicts CEHTRA’s Mr Thomas. Authorisation activities picked up as well in 2012. McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP and ReachCentrum each established authorisation consortia for the preparation of joint authorisation applications (chromium trioxide and miscellaneous chromium compounds for McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and sodium dichromate for ReachCentrum). In addition, individual companies are monitoring the presence of SVHCs in their processes and supply chain and developing mitigation strategies related to these substances: identifying in which processes SVHCs are used, which uses need to be covered in an application for authorisation and for which chemicals, alternatives are available, explains Maaike Bilau with the REACH & Product Stewardship Services business of ARCADIS Belgium nv. “Consortia are now working with the members to make sure that these applications for authorisation are robust and can be submitted on time. However, we are also more and more in contact with singular downstream users that seek an authorisation for their very specific downstream use,” adds Leo Appelman, managing director of ReachCentrum. In light of the growing REACH candidate list of substances of very high concern (SVHCs), clients of SGS-CTS are taking a closer look at risk assessment rather than doing a complete screening of the list, according to Dr Anne Kleinkauf, a Reach consultant with the firm. This process has actually had a positive aspect, according to NCEC REACH consultancy manager, Robert Whiting. “Companies have been forced to work together and look openly at the issues that specific substances present. Many have also taken a proactive and considered approach to managing risk and how the logistics within their own production processes work,” he remarks. “We believe the result of such an approach will have a positive impact on how risk is managed, with an increasing emphasis placed on the use of safer alternatives.” However, communication is absolutely vital and there are still many in the downstream user category that don’t fully understand the regulation or how they are covered, such as those in the cosmetic industry, according to Janet Blaschke, managing director of International Cosmetics & Chemical Services, Ltd. UK. For those companies that are not taking their REACH responsibilities seriously, both service providers and their clients would like to see ECHA and Member States become more aggressive with their enforcement activities. Companies that have invested significant resources want to protect their investments and keep ‘free-riders’ away. “We saw some enforcement activities under REACH, but they were focused on eSDSs and others did not end in any measurable citations. While ECHA has done a remarkable job and is very responsive, it must take seriously its role as an enforcement agency and issue real violations for significant deficiencies if the legislation is to be viable,” KFT Chemieservice’s Mr Torges asserts.

searchable, easy-to-use database that provides quick access to official GHS classifications, including substance classifications published by the relevant authorities, as well as translated GHS classifications, labels, full text, and phrases. Such regulatory data tools or integrated regulatory content should also include expert rules that take into account national deviations as well as UN Purple Book rules, templates for key hazard communication documents, and multilingual phrase libraries. This system can be integrated with an authoring platform for the inhouse generation of hazard communication documents, and can even be integrated with the purchasing system for management of in-bound vendor eSDSs. The other major option is, of course, to outsource these activities to a service provider.

Global compliance efforts Demand for help in compliance with national chemicals regulatory requirements, particularly in Asia, continues to be keeping many busy. “An increasing number of our clients have realised that compliance with REACH alone is not sufficient because they have global activities and thus have to deal with, often new, regulations in nonEU target markets,” notes Michael Cleuvers, head of industrial chemicals – global regulatory affairs for Dr. Knoell Consult GmbH. There has been enough of an increase in demand that the company has established subsidiaries in China and Thailand and enhanced its cooperation with partners in Japan and South Korea. Linmark Consulting also had requests for support with the Korean Reach pilot programme, and its principle consultant, Martin Richards, expects to see more activity from China and Korea in 2013, particularly relating to data access. Because rights to data developed by consortia may only be relevant for EU REACH use, companies may need to go back to each original data owner to get new licences. McKenna Long & Aldridge was involved in extensive international product labelling and product composition work in 2012, and partner, Ursula Schliessner, expects more of the same in 2013. Other companies did not have the same experience with requests for non-EU projects. “While some work was generated from China, Turkey and Russia, it was not significant compared to other business areas, and the amount of projects coming from Turkey was actually disappointing compared to 2011,” observes Dieter Drohmann, managing director of Chemservice GmbH and director of Chemservice Turkey. However, even if projects weren’t initiated in 2012, Steven Green, director of CS Regulatory Ltd believes that many of his customers have a large interest in staying abreast with updates on countryspecific regulations, and he expects that these national regulations are likely to be of greater importance in 2013, once the REACH deadline has passed. US regulations have kept companies that manufacture and sell products in that country on their toes (see section below for details). Along with GHS requirements, which Ashland expects will become an important issue in the next 24 months, Bernie Lindquist, a senior toxicologist with Ashland, is also paying close attention to Canada’s inventory update and is watching whether or not Mexico will bring its inventory online in 2013. US firms also faced issues from the EPA related to risk assessment reform, prioritisation of chemicals to be subject to risk assessment, questions regarding confidential business information, increasing product deselection activity on the state level and whether or not any progress

GHS have chosen to keep some of their existing hazard classification and communication that is not yet part of the GHS. As a result, there will be far less harmonisation between countries and regulatory authorities within each country than originally anticipated. We anticipate this lack of harmonisation will continue to be a source of concern for companies with global operations, necessitating – in many cases – access to proven regulatory data and compliance tools to help support conformance processes,” observes 3E’s Mr Starr. Even simple translation from the former EU system to the new GHS system hasn’t been as easy as , sometimes assumed, notes Ineke Gubbels, director of IGCON. “Many mistakes have been made in simple translations by the automated programs that are commercially available, and as more countries implement GHS, this issue will continue to be a problem.” Software and data management companies have thus focused on leveraging their products for this application. “GHS has been the single strongest driving force for companies around the globe to reevaluate how they are handling their hazard communication compliance. With so many regions/countries around the world making slight to major changes to the proposed UN GHS standard, companies are finding that compliance with these regulations is not possible without strong, configurable automation tools,” states Steffan Kilmer, International Business Manager for The Wercs. Companies who have a desire to expand into new markets will find it increasingly difficult to comply and thus ship their products. Having powerful software to help handle this growing demand is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’, he says, but a necessity for enabling the continuation of global business. GHS implementation has moved to the forefront in the US, where the country’s new Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) was adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha) in 2012. The new standard requires significant changes to labelling and documentation processes, practices and systems, according to Francis Trudeau, senior product manager for product stewardship solutions with IHS. “We expect this law will have the greatest impact on companies operating solely in North America, as most global companies have already adopted GHSbased processes in support of operations where GHS has previously been adopted.” However, he adds that the impact of GHS will continue to be felt beyond the US and EU. “New implementations of GHS, as well as GHS revisions by countries that have already adopted the UN Purple Book, were driving the current regulatory compliance agenda last year and will continue to do so in 2013.” Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies is a good example of a company faced with extensive GHS requirements in the US. “The US Osha GHS ruling is a significant issue that will add real complexity to the chemical management and control requirements that we already face, including compilation of eSDSs, preparation for 2013 REACH registrations, substance notifications in China and following up on GHS implementations globally,” says Guy Verbiest, PMT EMEA product stewardship leader for the company. “These items are of particular interest to our company, as our product portfolio is very extensive and targeted to a global market. Any REACH-like regulation or GHS implementation is of significant interest to Honeywell.” There are many possible strategies for dealing with GHS compliance, according to Mr Starr from 3E Company. Many companies choose to use reference tools that centralise all global chemical regulatory information into a robust,

Product legislation Product-specific regulations, on the other hand, required significant attention in 2012 and are expected to have an even bigger impact in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In general, the various changes to product-specific regulations that came into force in 2012 have contributed to making it ever harder for industry to continuously stay in compliance with all applicable product regulations,â&#x20AC;? remarks Dr Kleinkauf of SGS-CTS. She anticipates that product testing as a measure of quality control will continue to gain further importance as companies work to minimise product liability claims and maximise product safety. In addition to cosmetics, biocide, and food contact legislation, ADR/RID (hazardous goods regulations) will bring further changes in 2013. In 2012, according to Christine McAlinden, Director of toXcel International Ltd, there was a growing awareness among cosmetic producers regarding their obligations to compile a comprehensive safety assessment and product file in compliance with the new EU Cosmetic Regulation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For smaller companies with no regulatory experience or resources, however, meeting these requirements is particularly challenging. There is minimal understanding of the safety assessment requirements and the production of official guidance by the European Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety has been slow, with the latest released just in December 2012,â&#x20AC;? she says. The new Cosmetics Regulation, which will be fully implemented in July 2013, is expected to have a significant impact on the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The electronic notification system will help the Competent Authorities rapidly determine the state of compliance for a company and its products, and we are therefore expecting a big jump in enforcement,â&#x20AC;? states Ms Blaschke of International Cosmetics & Regulatory Specialists. She adds that the Product Information File (PIF) requirement is more detailed than was previously required under the old Cosmetics Directive, and the requirement for a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;responsible personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, similar to a requirement under EU legislation on medical devices, is new and also needs to be addressed by most SMEs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of which will no doubt lead to an increase in the cost of doing business in the EU,â&#x20AC;? she concludes. As an example, a significantly higher toxicity studies has been required for amount of cosmetic ingredients dossiers, according to Jean-Luc Garrigue, director scientific affairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Europe for BIOAGRI, a MĂŠrieux NutriSciences Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many companies have anticipated the animal testing and marketing bans that take effect in March 2013, and have accelerated their safety evaluation programmes for strategic ingredients,â&#x20AC;? he says. The new biocidal products Regulation (BPR), which replaces the current Directive (BPD) in the EU, is also proving to be a challenge for industry and regulator alike, according to JSC Internationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richard Elsmore, regulatory affairs: biocides & REACH. The legislation was published in June 2012 and takes effect at the beginning of September 2013. Companies are currently still working under the BPD, and the inclusion of more active substances on Annex I is triggering the requirement for any biocidal products containing these active substances, which is many more than have been required in the past, to apply for product authorisation in order to stay on the market. The changes in legislation will further impact active substance manufacturers, formulators and producers of

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

articles that have been treated with biocides (even those treated outside the EU). Several other requirements of the BPR are challenges for industry as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The regulation impacts data protection and data sharing with third parties, which is of real concern for our clients,â&#x20AC;? notes LCKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mr Kane. CEHTRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sara Kirkham, senior regulatory affairs consultant, adds the involvement of ECHA within the process, new dossier formats and data requirements, and labelling of articles to the list. He also notes that several anomalies have been found in the Regulation that must be addressed in order for the market to continue to function after the application date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even so, we have observed that most affected companies are slowly starting to move forward to ensure that they are compliant when the BPR goes into effect. Service providers like CEHTRA are helping these firms develop strategies to keep their products on the market in the face of high product authorisation costs,â&#x20AC;? she says. The food processing and packaging industry will be challenged in 2013-14, according to Ms Laurence Gasnot, food additive and contact expert at CEHTRA. The French Agency of Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (Anses) will be reassessing the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;technological aidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; necessary to process foods (antifoaming agents, enzymes, mineral oils, etc) listed in Annexe IB of the French ArrĂŞtĂŠ, which are authorised until the end of 2014. Furthermore, demand for food contact services has increased since publication in 2011 of the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Regulation on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Another new issue is that Regulation EC NÂ° 1223/2009 on cosmetics requires the assessment of the safety of possible migrants coming from the packaging that is in contact with the cosmetic product, without giving any guide for such assessment. The mechanisms that determine the extent of this interaction (migration, permeation) has been fully studied for food packaging; therefore, a similarÂ approach may be developed for cosmetic products, according to Ms. Gasnot. All of these changes to product-specific regulations in the EU are taking place at the same time that REACH authorisation requirements must be met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important that companies seeking alternative substances as a result of REACH requirements make sure that they stay abreast of these other product regulations,â&#x20AC;? stresses Linmark Consultingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mr Richards. It is certainly possible that some alternative substances may require registration under the various product-specific regulations.â&#x20AC;?

Training needs Not surprisingly, the growing requirements under EU and non-EU regulations have spurred interest in various types of training programmes as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen a growing demand for training on technical topics, such as exposure scenarios and their implications for the preparation of eSDSs, administrative issues, including Sief or supply chain management, and compliance with non-EU regulations,â&#x20AC;? notes Dr. Knoell Consultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mr Cleuvers. REACHLaw has observed an increase in the need for awareness building on several aspects of REACH authorisation and biocides regulations, due to the fact that deadlines are approaching and companies are concerned about losing the ability to market their products and, consequently, also losing revenue streams, according to Mr Van Heerden. ReachCentrum, meanwhile, has also experienced strong interest in two of its most extensive

training programmes - REACH Awareness bootcamp and Risk Assessment week. These programmes are very successful, according to Vincenzo Girardi, head of training with the firm, because participants receive in just five days a complete overview of the topic with a combination of practical hands-on exercises and theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 2013, we are also expecting more demand for tailored training programmes related to REACH registration and authorisation, including onsite sessions as well as webinars and online solutions that allow participants to follow the training from many different locations, continues Mr Girardi. Aside from regulatory training, there is always the ongoing need for training in basic emergency response activities, such as practical spill response, the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ( ), and Hazmat 1st Response, according to NCECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical consultant, Mr Paul Rast-Lindsell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect interest in these courses to continue to rise. However, we do find that requests for training often come after an incident, problem or audit that has highlighted the need.â&#x20AC;? Of course, there are some specialist skills and areas of expertise that cannot easily be obtained through training courses, and providers that have these capabilities, including legal, testing and software and information management services, have and will continue to benefit.

Legal services Key services provided in 2012 by ReachCentrum and ReachLaw included preparation for Only Representative (OR) inspections; addressing issues associated with the registration of substances outside of joint registrations; drafting of authorisation consortium agreements; legal assessment of opportunities for appealing ECHA adverse decisions; support for understanding the ECHA dissemination policy and drafting confidentiality claims: studies on exemptions from authorisations and the article status of objects plus substance exemptions; support for implementing or interpreting rules of consortia and Sief agreements; and ongoing merger & acquisition and OR change of identity activity. Ms Isaline van der Straten, a legal advisor for ReachCentrum, expects that in 2013 the firm will see the greatest demand for legal support related to the authorisation process (relationships with DUs, competition law compliance); updates of registration dossiers, read-across and fair cost sharing; and REACH-like legislation adopted or under development in non-EU countries. For REACHLaw, many of the same issues will be relevant, according to Mr Van Heerden, as well as SME determination for ECHA fee calculation, compliance clauses in supply contracts and industry obligations under the new EU biocidal products Regulation With respect to legal decisions, Mr Van Heerden points to two cases of particular note in 2012, including the determination that ORs can apply for authorisation, which levelled the playing field for non-EU and EU manufacturers, and the withdrawal of ECHA registrations due to incorrect SME determination, which may lead to supply chain disruptions and provides an indication of potential enforcement issues. The evolving case law of the Board of Appeal (BoA), including on substance identity, is also of significance, according to McKenna Long & Aldridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ms Schliessner, because it will determine how active companies will be in challenging ECHA decisions. She notes that the NV Elektriziteits case (http://echa.europa.eu/documents/101

Page 14

62/13575/a_001_2010_decision_en.pdf) was reassuring, because it confirmed the BoAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broad power of review. Important cases to look out for in 2013, according to ReachCentrumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ms van der Straten, include the expected final decisions of the BoA on two appeals related to evaluation (case A-005-2011 lodged by Honeywell on testing involving animals, and case A-001-2012 lodged by Dow on read-across), as well as the court case ChemSec/ ClientEarth vs. ECHA before the EU Courts, which may have an impact on the interpretation of REACH and other regulations. Meanwhile, REACHLawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mr Van Heerden believes that ECHA and Member Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; REACH-ENFORCE-3 project, enforcement on unjustified intermediate registrations, and possible challenges of candidate list inclusions should be watched in 2013. Ms Schliessner also believes that it will be interesting to see whether any BoA decision is appealed in the EU General Court â&#x20AC;&#x201C; considered to be an unlikely event because of the lack of suspensive effect in the General Court, and because the General Court does not generally get entangled with technical questions. She is uncertain if the 2013 REACH Review will have any substantial effect, and wonders if publication of registrant names by ECHA will lead to more national court cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate that companies may claim unfair trade practices against registrants who submitted low quality registration dossiers that are not actively pursued by ECHA or are using data not compensated for, and hence are effectively â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;free-ridingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? she adds.

Testing times The second registration deadline for REACH approaching as it does, at the same time that data requirements for other country regulations, GHS, and many product-specific regulations must soon be met, has ensured continued high demand for testing services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of these test requirements have been the result of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;data gap analysesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and are needed to determine the properties of substances that were not known or impossible to gather from the supply chain,â&#x20AC;? SGS-CTSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr Kleinkauf observes. ChemService Controlli e ricerche experienced a 20% increase in the number of ecotoxicological studies completed in 2012 compared to 2011, with tests on aquatic organisms (algae, Daphnia, fish and aquatic plants), terrestrial organisms (soil microflora, earthworms) and biodegradation testing, being the most common. Ms Casalegno points to REACH, the BPR, the EU veterinary products Directive, and CLP as the major drivers. In 2013, once â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;last-minuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; REACH testing is completed, new requirements for cut-off criteria (persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) and endocrine disruption properties) for the BPR will keep ecotoxicological testing as the key growth area in 2013 as well. Meanwhile BIOAGRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mr Garrigue reports that the EU cosmetics Regulation, with its ban on animal testing beginning March 2013, led to more than a 110% increase in the number of toxicity studies completed in 2012 over 2011, including genetic toxicity studies, local lymph node assays, developmental toxicity studies, 28-day and 90-day oral toxicity studies, and screening for developmental toxicity studies (OECD 421). There have been some additional challenges with respect to the more recent data requirements that are driving such tests. For one thing, it has been more challenging to fill data gaps with non-test data and by using read-across for the second phase REACH substances, according to Tox Focusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ms Vogt. She

Chemical service providers notes that lab availability has been an issue, but not an insurmountable one. Smaller companies have also often found it difficult to obtain data about the uses and conditions of sold substances and mixtures, according to KFT Chemieservice’s Mr Torges. “Most medium-sized companies are not capable of retrieving this data, and we expect to see a growing demand for this type of support in the future.” Such extensive data requirements have also led to the need for more effective data management within companies. Perhaps the most challenging issue today though is the need to address management of chemical risk throughout the supply chain. “Organisations face accelerating regulations with more stringent reporting requirements. These protocols now require companies to collect data across the value chain, from product design to manufacturing,” IHS’s Mr Trudeau states. “Achieving this goal is a significant challenge for companies that rely on single-function systems and manual processes that were not meant to handle today’s complex protocols,” he continues. As a result, companies are struggling to analyse, share and distribute key information related to supplier compliance and corporate risk across various functional groups, according to 3E Company’s Mr Starr. “In 2012, many companies reached the realisation that their data management initiatives were inadequate; once data is acquired, the majority of companies do not have sufficient methods in place for validation or maintenance to ensure data is accurate or kept up to date. Suppliers need help in gaining access to and understanding the global product regulations with which they must comply. The ability to effectively ensure supplier product compliance is critical to business continuity and to avoid supply chain disruptions.”

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

As a result, in 2013, 3E Company expects that the focus on data management as a critical component of effective supply chain risk management initiatives will continue, with many companies striving to create a central repository of regulatory and product information to reduce supply chain risk while minimising data management costs. Mr Kilmer of The Wercs also expects that content delivery via ‘cloud’ systems, which was heavily emphasised in 2012, will continue to be an important component of such solutions in 2013, as will more effective systems that enable business process outsourcing for regulatory departments.

Communication challenges There is also a need for information management systems outside of the chemicals regulatory compliance arena that can incorporate information derived as a result of chemicals laws. “New trends in nonfinancial reporting, driven by investors, NGOs and communities, are leading to significant changes across the global business landscape,” observes IHS’s Mr Trudeau. Stock exchanges are now requesting that sustainability information be included in reports to investors, and the International Integrated Reporting Council, a newly formed organisation with significant corporate participation, is calling for organisations to combine nonfinancial information, including product stewardship and sustainability metrics, along with their financial reporting. With respect to the growing need for communication throughout the supply chain, there are mixed feelings as to the level of progress that has been made. Mr Drohmann of Chemservice feels that, at this point, most companies realise that regulatory affairs activities are a business strategy that can help differentiate suppliers from the competition. CEHTRA’s

Mr Thomas, however, doesn’t believe that the expected improvements throughout the supply chain have really been achieved yet, even though he points out that many clients have indicated that REACH has ultimately strengthened their relationships with their suppliers and customers. CS Regulatory has also experienced mixed results, according to Mr Green. “Most downstream users still need significant support, and while communication within the supply chain seems to be working fairly well, accurately tracking that communication beyond two or three steps either way of your own perspective on the chain continues to be a challenge,” says Mr Green. He is heartened, though, at the growing knowledge and awareness of regulatory aspects that downstream users seem to be gaining. Ms Blaschke, on the other hand, has seen only minimal improvements in supply chain communication and believes that only an increased threat of enforcement will have a real impact. The problem for Dean Leverett, principal consultant with wca environment Ltd, is that downstream users are becoming increasingly involved in aspects of chemicals management that they have limited experience with or understanding of. This is particularly so for those involved in the use of substances that are candidates for, or subject to, restriction or authorisation under REACH. “The requirements for socio-economic analysis (SEA) that now frequently accompany such regulatory intervention are not well understood by downstream users, despite their key role in providing compelling supply chain data. Unfortunately, we find that many manufacturers often have limited or no appreciation of the final products their materials are used to produce.” One downstream user and manufacturer of chemicals says it saw some improvement in communication in 2012, but not nearly enough to satisfy the company. The spokesperson does expect greater communication in 2013 because of the urgency of the 2013 deadlines. “However, this situation is unsatisfactory, with companies leaving such issues to so very late and entering into panic mode.”

Ashland, meanwhile, has not seen any significant change in communication throughout the supply chain. “We are still prising information from suppliers, and the need to do so is a source of frustration. Internet ‘rooms’ are helpful, but there isn’t enough of this type of tool, and there are still a lot of battles over confidentiality,” says Dr Lindquist. Honeywell, on the other hand, did not experience any supply chain disruptions, but has, in response to the growing amount of chemical management and control requirements, reorganised its Product Stewardship department so that services and resources can be deployed globally when needed, according to Mr Verbiest. Eastman also did not suffer supply interruptions in 2012, so has not focused much attention there. “Our suppliers are usually big chemical companies who have their REACH ducks in a row,” Mr Schüller feels. The important role that downstream users play is becoming more apparent as implementation of REACH progresses, and the possibility of supply chain disruption is growing. While most service providers have not encountered significant problems, some, such as CS Regulatory, have observed cases where suppliers have withdrawn substances from the market or elected to register substances only as isolated intermediates under strictly controlled conditions, whereby the substances can only be handled under any other conditions. “We believe that there is also potential for greater disruption within supply chains as the effects of the regulatory process continue to take hold,” Mr Green says. In general, according to Chemservice’s Mr Drohmann, it seems that larger companies have increased their chemicals management and control activities, but SMEs often are not able or are unwilling to address this issue, particularly given the lack of enforcement. With movement on the REACH authorisation process and anticipated increased enforcement, further participation by all types of downstream users is expected in 2013. Ashland’s Dr Lindquist agrees: “SMEs do not have the resources to comply with REACH and we expect to see some of them drop out.”

Special US section

US chemical manufacturers and users dealing with GHS implementation and an EPA looking to extend its authority In the US, political gridlock has meant little legislative progress in recent years, and not much is expected to change in 2013. With major financial issues – and battles – to occupy Congress for at least the first half of the year, little legislative action on chemicals management is anticipated. However, companies – both manufacturers and users of chemicals – will be kept quite busy meeting Osha GHS requirements, keeping up to date with actions of a more aggressive EPA, and responding to numerous programmes taking shape at the state level.

GHS compliance One area of activity that has not been impacted by the political paralysis in Washington has been the adoption of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) by the US

Page 16

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha). “Promulgation of Osha’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) 2012 indicates that US regulatory authorities are clearly capable of executing sweeping regulatory changes,” notes Mr Starr from 3E Company. According to Osha, changes to the HCS will affect over 43 million workers in over 5m workplaces. The biggest changes in the new HCS relate to Hazard Classification, Labels, Safety Data Sheets and training. In fact, The Wercs’ Mr Kilmer expects that GHS compliance will be a “regulatory cliff” for chemical companies. “We expect many will wait too long to prepare and comply, and that the consumer retail industry, and not the government, will end up being the chief driver for achieving GHS compliance.”

TSCA reform and legislation The need for TSCA reform continues to top the agendas of all of the leading chemical industry trade groups, and is also recognised by members of Congress and other stakeholders. “The safety of chemicals has received a lot of public attention recently, and our national chemical management regulation needs to be updated to address such concerns,” says William E. Allmond, vice president of government and public relations for the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (Socma). However, adds Mike Walls, vice president of regulatory & technical affairs for the American Chemistry Council (ACC), a modernised TSCA must ensure protection of public health and include strict government oversight, while preserving the innovative nature of the chemical industry, which is a major driver of economic growth in the US. Progress to date has been slow, but as Mark Duvall, a principal with law firm Beveridge & Diamond sees it, much has been achieved; the basic issues have been identified, different approaches have been discussed with various stakeholders, and members of Congress have been educated about the issues. With two alternative pieces of legislation expected to be proposed in 2013, ACC believes that an important crossroads in the TSCA reform process has been reached. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) is expected to reintroduce his “Safe Chemicals Act,” which was approved in July 2012 by the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee without any support from Republicans. Meanwhile, Senator David B. Vitter (R-LA) has publicly committed to introducing a bill that many in industry believe will take a more reasonable approach and have the potential for gaining bipartisan support. Having two proposals with contrasting legislative language creates the real opportunity for progress, according to Mr Duvall. It is unlikely, particularly given the major budget and financial issues that must be addressed in the first half of the year, that any legislation will pass the Senate in 2013, but it is not inconceivable. Key points that will need to be addressed include the use of sound science and a risk-based approach to the prioritisation and review of chemicals, collection of data from users of chemicals as well as producers and processors, strengthening of federal pre-emption of state regulations, and appropriate treatment of confidential business information (CBI), which is critical for maintaining the global competitiveness of the chemical industry, according to both ACC and Socma. “We believe that if Democrats and Republicans focus on these areas where there is common ground, targeted, workable solutions can be developed that will improve

Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

the effectiveness and efficiency of the current TSCA law,” Socma’s Mr Allmond says. In the vacuum created by the lack of actual TSCA modernisation, the EPA and individual states have stepped up their efforts to manage chemicals risk in other ways. “There has been, and will continue to be, pressure on individual state legislatures to create their own chemical management laws. The EPA is also taking steps to implement programmes designed to keep pace with other regulations, such as REACH, where new chemicals are not necessarily the focus,” observes Jennifer Reed, new business development manager for Caleb Management Services Ltd. “We do not see this state or federal regulation activity slowing down until progress with TSCA modernisation is made.” Individual states within the US are taking actions, such as issuing bans on specific chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and restricting the use of cadmium. Washington’s Children’s Safe Products Act, which requires manufacturers and retailers to notify the state if they sell certain children’s products containing any one of 66 chemicals of high concern to children, required notifications beginning in 2012. Maine has a similar law with a list of 49 chemicals of high concern, and New York, Minnesota, Arkansas and other states have bills pending that have similar provisions, observes SGS-CTS’s Emilie Viengchaleune, global marketing coordinator for Global Sustainability Services. “This trend in emerging regulatory frameworks for the safety of chemicals in children’s products is forcing the industry to re-evaluate its compliance strategy and look at risk-based approaches regarding the materials that go into children’s products,” she remarks. Adds Ms Vogt of Tox Focus: “With so many varying state laws, interstate commerce is becoming very difficult for industry.” The state that has been most active is California, which, according to a spokesperson from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, plans to finalise its Safer Consumer Products Regulations by April 2013. The most troubling aspect of this green chemistry initiative for industry is the restriction of products containing chemicals found on a ‘Candidate Chemicals’ list of an expected 1,200 substances. Initially, a short list of ‘prioritised products’ will be generated that will require reformulation with ‘safer chemicals’ to be determined via an ‘alternative analysis’. Meanwhile, at the federal level, the EPA has sought to expand its authority under the existing TSCA Regulation to the fullest extent possible. Its focus has shifted to existing chemicals including their risk assessment, wider dissemination of risk information and encouragement of the development of safer alternatives. One agency proposal that is causing concern to industry is the potential requirement for disclosure of specific chemical identities in health and safety studies submitted to the EPA for chemicals that have not yet been manufactured. According to Socma’s senior manager of government relations, Dan Newton, if such a rule is adopted, some of the trade group’s members would seriously consider not manufacturing new chemicals in the US. “The protection of chemical identities is critically important for preventing competitors from learning key information about new products; without that protection so early in the product lifecycle, it may not be economically sound to invest in new product development,” he explains. Claiming CBI is further complicated by the fact that requirements are different in the US and Europe. “Industry is entering a new era. Corporate EHS, product stewardship and legal staff need to decide whether they will proactively

Both The Wercs and IHS note that, because important training requirements must be met by the end of December 2013, implementation of the Osha HCS is a critical product management issue for chemical companies this year. The new classification procedures follow a very different approach than was previously used and training and implementation will be a big issue for US companies and those selling into the US market. Tom McKellar-Smythe, senior regulatory consultant with Caleb Management Services Ltd, also warns that chemical manufacturers and distributors should not wait to start working to meet the 1 June 2015 deadline for hazard reclassification and the production of GHS labels and SDSs, because these activities require a great deal of time and resources.

declassify substances or try to substantiate confidentiality claims. However, rights to CBI may be questioned as the EPA attempts to expand the guidelines of its current statutory authority,” says Bonita Reynolds, senior regulatory specialist with 3E Company. Both ACC and Socma believe that carefully structured generic names could provide the necessary protection of proprietary information while still enabling public access to safety and hazard information. They have also asked the EPA to require upfront substantiation of the need for CBI in order to prevent overuse of this important aspect of the TSCA regulations. “We would, however, like to see much more guidance from the EPA on how to develop effective generic names, and in the meantime, ACC is working on possible approaches that we will share with the agency,” notes Christina Franz, director of regulatory & technical affairs with ACC. Prioritisation of particular chemicals for review is also high on the agency’s agenda. In 2012, the EPA launched an ‘Existing Chemicals Strategy’ that, among other things, identified a work plan of 83 chemicals for further assessment. The EPA released five draft risk assessments in January 2013, and is now seeking public comment and they will be subjected to peer review. An additional two draft risk assessments addressing medium- and longchained chlorinated paraffins should be released soon, and the agency will be conducting another 18 risk assessments in 2013 and 2014. Both Socma and ACC approve of the EPA’s stepwise process for the review of the work plan chemicals and applaud the agency’s focus on actual uses of the chemicals. One unanswered question, however, is what will happen at the end of this process. “No action has been taken by the EPA under TSCA section 6 since 1991. Therefore, extensive discussion is needed to determine what approaches might not only be effective, but also possible, under the existing TSCA legislation,” remarks Beveridge & Diamond’s Mr Duvall. ACC would also like to see the EPA hold another stakeholder meeting on prioritisation in 2013. The organisation has developed a comprehensive, scientificallybased prioritisation system that takes into account both hazard and exposure and has shared this tool with the agency and other stakeholders, according to Ms Franz. She wants to see the EPA make additional progress on its methods for selecting chemicals for review. Another approach for the agency with respect to existing chemicals is the issuance of Significant New Use Rules (SNURs), over 300 of which were initiated in 2012. Many of these rules were related to aquatic toxicity issues or for chemicals that aren’t very soluble. SNURs are a serious concern for industry because they can impact the entire supply chain; many users of chemicals avoid purchasing such regulated substances, and both Socma and ACC are anxious that the EPA uses its authority appropriately to issue SNURs. One particular proposed SNUR – polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants – has caught a significant amount of attention. In the past, the EPA has avoided using SNURs for articles, and only regulated single articles if it did issue such a SNUR. For PBDEs, however, which are being phased out in the US, the proposed SNUR would cover all articles, and it appears that the agency is attempting to achieve widespread changes, according to Sarah Brozena, senior director of regulatory & technical affairs with ACC. Mr Duvall notes that this approach is challenging for the EPA and a real concern for industry. The agency has agreed to hold workshops with industry

Page 18

in 2013 on its decision-making processes for SNURs, and particularly for substances that are difficult to test and multicomponent products. It is worth noting that some of the EPA proposals outlined above have yet to receive approval from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (Oira) in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and it is not clear when or if they will be released. For example, the proposal on CBI claims for chemical identities in Premanufacture Notifications (PMNs) has been pending since December 2011, and the final SNUR on PBDEs has not yet been submitted for Oira approval. Others of note include a proposal regarding reporting requirements for nanomaterials under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (Fifra), and a SNUR for nanomaterials and a ‘chemicals of concern’ list under TSCA (from December 2009). President Obama’s appointment as head of the Oira could have an impact on the future of these proposals. In addition to the larger number of SNURs in 2012, industry also had to comply for the first time with the updated Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule, which replaced the Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule. Companies had to report an expanded set of chemical production and import volumes using a new online portal and coding system. “The CDR also requires tracking of data for each year, rather than just every five years, so companies, including distributors, need to be sure that they are collecting all of the necessary data that is required,” notes Jennifer C. Gibson, vice president of regulatory affairs for the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD). The CDR is very important to both industry and the EPA. The agency will be using the information gathered in this programme for its prioritisation of work plan chemicals, among other activities. “Therefore,” asserts Robert Kiefer, director of regulatory & technical affairs with ACC, “It is imperative that the CDR is implemented correctly. It provides a valuable mechanism for the EPA to screen manufacturing, use and exposure information on chemicals in commerce.” The EPA recently released chemical use, production, and other data collected in 2012 under the CDR rule. The EPA has also introduced several new interpretations of existing TSCA provisions, particularly for chemicals that have been on the TSCA Inventory for many years. Companies need to stay abreast of these new interpretations, because it is possible that compounds previously considered by industry to be covered by TSCA inventory listings are no longer included from the EPA’s perspective. Simply following established industry practice does not guarantee compliance anymore. Altogether, these activities are designed to help the EPA address existing chemicals, which is an area of weakness in the current TSCA legislation. “Even in the absence of TSCA reform, existing chemicals will continue to be in the spotlight,” observes Caleb’s Ms Reed. “More now than ever, companies need to ensure that they stay current with and understand new requirements. The days of ‘My chemical is on the inventory, so I don’t need to do anything’ are over.”

Enforcement activities As well as expanding its authority under TSCA in light of the lack of legislative progress in Washington, the EPA has also stepped up its enforcement activity, largely under the General Duty Clause in the Clean Air Act. NACD’s

Clean Water Act issues Under the Clean Water Act, there is anticipation that legislation to remove the requirement for a water permit for Fifra-compliant applications will be reintroduced in 2013, after being defeated by Senate democrats in 2012. The legislation is designed to prevent potential negative impacts of the permitting requirements, which have been reported to lead to increased disease incidence such as West Nile virus, due to higher costs and the fact that pesticide applicators are no longer offering certain services in order to avoid permitting issues. With respect to endocrine disruptors, the EPA is planning to complete the review of its initial round of testing in 2014 and issue test orders for Tier 2 testing in Fiscal Year 2014.

Trouble with the Endangered Species Act The Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its potential impact on the use of agrochemicals will also be an important issue for Congress. There has been much litigation regarding the EPA’s compliance with the ESA with respect to its pesticide approvals. Of note is the lawsuit filed by the Centre for Biological Diversity in January 2011 on over 300 pesticides that could impact growers of all types of crops across the nation. Despite numerous settlement talks in 2012, no conclusions were reached. The EPA files a motion to dismiss and the decision on this motion is expected in 2013.

Can the EPA manage it all Based on the above discussion, it is clear that the EPA’s agenda is laden. The fact that a large number of the EPA’s proposals remain held up by OMB while it continues to add new programmes and actions has many in the industry questioning whether or not the EPA will be able to meet its commitments. In many cases, the policy initiatives that the agency is taking on are complex and difficult issues that would not be easy to address, even if the EPA had unlimited time and resources. On the contrary though, the agency is facing the prospect of funding decline given the current federal budget deficit. How deep any cuts might be is unclear, and thus their impact is also unknown.

US exports Looking beyond specific US regulations, there are international regulations that have an impact on US chemical manufacturers and downstream users. REACH, of course, is a major consideration for companies that export to the EU. Chemical distributors discovered in the first round of REACH that they are largely responsible for passing information throughout the supply chain, according to Gibson, and most NACD members seem to have a good understanding of their role now. REACHLaw’s Mr Van Heerden reports that his company has found that most larger US firms have a good awareness of REACH, while SMEs don’t seem to be taking much action. Some of Socma’s members, which are generally smaller, batch manufacturers of fine and speciality chemicals, decided after the first phase of REACH that it was too costly to do business with the EU. Mr Allmond expects that with the second phase of registrations covering smaller volume chemicals, additional members will decide that exporting to Europe is not cost-effective.

Trade agreements and regulations? However, he does note that a possible Free Trade Agreement between the US and EU could have an impact on REACH and TSCA both. “The chemical industry could benefit tremendously from such an agreement. In 2011 alone, the industry paid over $1bn in tariffs on chemicals exported to the EU, and $600m of that was for fine and speciality chemicals. Any agreement would have to address TSCA and REACH requirements, and thus could have an impact on these regulations for both US and European manufacturers,” Mr Allmond says.

Specific product regulations

Beyond compliance

With respect to specific product legislation on the national level, two different versions of legislation on cosmetics safety that targeted the greater disclosure of substances used in cosmetics were introduced in Congress in 2012, but were not advanced. No other major new rules for consumer products were enacted, either, according to SGS-CTS’s Ms Viengchaleune. The latest development in this area was the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which was implemented from 2008-11 and resulted in a ban on the use of heavy metals (via ASTM F 963) and stricter restrictions on lead in a much broader range of children’s products. However, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did finalise a ban on the use of

Voluntary industry programmes can have a significant impact on individual companies and the industry as a whole. The programmes mentioned above – Responsible Care, Responsible Distribution and ChemStewards – have helped large and small manufacturers and distributors alike in the US – and increasingly around the world – implement employee environmental, health, safety and security management programmes and continuously improve their performance in all of these critical areas. The industry trade associations also continue to develop these programmes. For example, ACC is enhancing Responsible Care with the recent adoption of a new Product Safety Code and expansion of its Process Safety requirements.

Ms Gibson notes that the slowing of the economy, the perception of important regulatory failures in food and product safety, airline maintenance and the financial system, and the democratic administration have also contributed to the increased level of enforcement. The situation is quite challenging, particularly for small manufacturers and distributors that have limited resources. The fact that the EPA is relying on a very vague regulation makes it even more difficult. The GDC requires that companies with an undefined set of ‘other extremely hazardous substances’ manage their chemicals safely. “This general regulation gives the EPA tremendous power to require facilities to change their procedures and designs, and the facilities have limited recourse to question the agency’s allegations,” Ms Gibson claims. Even for companies committed to programmes like Responsible Distribution, ChemStewards and Responsible Care and who operate in a responsible manner, it seems not to be difficult for the EPA to find a problem and issue a citation she says.

investors are watching closely, too, as nonfinancial metrics are considered a reliable indicator of risk management.” Clearly, with the many compliance requirements associated with existing US-based regulations, the EPA looking to expand its authority under TSCA, the Senate expected to propose new TSCA legislation, the second phase of REACH registrations becoming due, and international chemicals management and control regulations growing at a rapid pace, 2013 promises to be another challenging year for US manufacturers, processors, distributors, and users of chemicals and those looking to participate in the US marketplace.

IHS believes that voluntary nonfinancial reporting is another type of industry effort that is gaining increased visibility. “Nonfinancial reporting issues have a broad impact that reaches from resource acquisition to the bottom line, and standards now approach the rigour required for financial reporting,” observes Mr Trudeau. He adds that more than 95% of the world’s 250 largest companies now provide nonfinancial reporting. “With sustainability information now widely available in the public domain, companies are aware that environmentally conscious stakeholders and customers can compare sustainability performance among competing companies.

CAREERS AND SALARY SURVEY

A look at the chemical management and control jobs market For the first time, asked specific questions about the salaries and career prospects of chemical management and control professionals, those working within industry and those working as service providers. Our first question asked about the changes in the size of these teams, both last year and for the next 12 months. About half of respondents reported no change whatsoever last year, while 37% said there had been an increase (Figure 3). Around 13% said there had been a decrease, which may reflect greater outsourcing by industry, or smaller teams due to the general economic downturn. The range in responses reflects the fact that there are many varied and conflicting factors that influence the job market. Similar figures are reported for the next 12 months, with around a third of participants expecting to see staffing increase and more than half expecting no change during that time. Nearly 9% actually expect a decline. As a whole, it appears that the global market for chemical management and control professionals increased last year, and will continue to do so over the next 12 months.

of global regulations, the roles of regulatory professionals are becoming increasingly important within the chemical industry,” he says. The current REACH deadline is just one part of the story, according to Ms Schliessner of McKenna Long & Aldridge. “Companies also have to simultaneously deal with authorisation and compliance check decisions, as well as CLP compliance and enforcement. Hence the workload is ever increasing, not diminishing. Additional employment opportunities should thus be expected, unless current staffers continue to work overtime due to the bleak economic outlook. There should certainly be no lay-offs.” survey support these The results of the sentiments. Nearly 96% believe that job prospects are good or stable in the global market and nearly 90% feel the same is true in their local market (Figure 4). That confidence is also reflected by the fact that nearly 90% of respondents to the survey indicated that they feel their job security has either increased or remains the same in their specific role and across all roles, compared to the last 12 months (Figure 5).

REACH continues to be a key driver of demand for chemicals management and control skills. For some companies, there are concerns about workloads following the upcoming deadline in 2013, particularly because the next deadline is several years away. “REACH by nature is not a process that is evenly spread out. The three registration deadlines have resulted and will result in some quite extreme peaks and troughs in REACH compliance activity, which creates a volatile job security situation,” says Caleb’s Mr McKellar-Smythe. Many others, however, feel that the job market remains strong. For example, Linmark Consulting’s Mr Richards expects the job prospects for regulatory professionals to remain good in 2013, within both chemical producers and consultancies. “Due to the importance of REACH in allowing products on the European market and the diversity

“To my mind,” adds Chemservice’s Mr Drohmann, “jobs are safe. Good regulatory affairs people are not generally available on the jobs market, and if they are, extraordinary salaries must be offered to attract them, at least in Europe. We have started training people newly graduated from universities, even though it is an investment to get them to reach the necessary skill level.” JSC International’s Dr Elsmore sees continued demand for high quality regulatory support for industry driving growth within specialist consultancy firms and shortages in the availability of expert staff. Dr Knoell Consult’s Mr Cleuvers concludes: “Compliance with global chemical management systems is still an emerging issue, and professionals with expert knowledge in this area are needed. We hired a lot of people in 2012. I consider these jobs to be safe.”

In addition to largely feeling secure in their positions, the majority of participants (60%) in the survey also felt satisfied with their roles (Figure 6). Of the remaining, 29% do not feel strongly one way or the other, and around one in ten are dissatisfied. This could be due to the fact that many in the sector find themselves faced with high requirements and limited resources to carry out their tasks, according to Mr Van Heerden of REACHLaw.

Also on a positive note, many of the survey respondents (63%) believe that their career progression prospects are good in the wider jobs market. They are, however, less hopeful about the change for advancement within their current employer, with only 38% indicating that they have good opportunities for advancing their careers within the same company (Figure 7). International Cosmetics & Regulatory Specialists’s Ms Blaschke gives a potential explanation for this finding: To her, it seems that regulatory support staff are hired at two extremes of the spectrum: basic entry-level and clerical staff to do compulsory paperwork, and higherlevel worldwide upper management specialists in overall compliance. “I have seen very little evidence of mid-level jobs, and it appears that opportunities for advancement for junior staff members are minimal,” she notes.

Salary trends Participants in the survey kindly shared information on their current positions and salaries. A summary of the results is presented below. For the first time, we provide useful data on salaries, pay rises, and bonus levels in the global chemical management and control community. The group of survey respondents includes regulatory affairs experts with a range of titles and positions (Figure 8). The largest groups were project/team managers (29%) and specialists/technicians (29%), followed closely by senior managers (24%). Directors/partners represented 12%, juniors/graduates 3% and government officers 3.4%. The average age of the survey respondents is 45, with just over 44% of them female. The average global salary for chemical management and control professionals is €46,200 (US$61,700), and almost half of the professionals have global responsibilities within their organisations. Unfortunately, the gender gap remains among our sample, with men earning an average €55,700 and women just €44,300. The average salary is broken down by job title in Figure 8. Surprisingly, regulators receive the highest salaries, and otherwise there is not a tremendous variation in pay levels for the job titles shown in the chart, except for business management/development positions, which earn a little less than the rest, but are likely to receive larger bonuses. There is, however, some differentiation in salaries depending on the type of organisation (Figure 9). Survey respondents working for government agencies earn the most, followed closely by those working for trade associations or professional bodies, both receiving average salaries above €50,000.

Those employed by consumer products firms, nonchemical manufacturers and service providers earn average salaries approaching €47,000. In addition, average salaries were fairly close regardless of company size, although participants at larger (over 250 employees) and medium-sized (50-250 employees) firms had a slightly higher average salary (slightly over €46,000) than those at small-sized (less than 50 employees, €44,600) firms. Basic salaries also vary significantly depending on location (Figure 10). survey respondents in Europe earn an average €53,800, which is well above the nearest amount of €35,900 for professionals in North America, and significantly higher than the average salary for survey participants in the rest of the world (€30,700).

Not surprisingly, salaries also vary according to the age of the survey respondents, with those aged 46-50 earning the most at €54,800, followed by those aged 3645 (~€50,000) and 51-55 ((~€48,000). The oldest survey participants (over 65) earn the least at €28,800, which probably represents reduced hours, while the youngest respondents receive salaries just over €30,000 (Figure 11). survey respondents Over two-thirds of the (70%) were entitled to a bonus. Of those that did receive a bonus, the average bonus was 11.0%, with European bonuses lower at around 9.5%, North American bonuses at 12.4% and those in the rest of the world at 16.7%. Meanwhile, the average pay rise for those who stayed in the same role was 2.4% and for those that gained a promotion this increased to 7% (Figure 12). Participants in Europe received the smallest pay rises, although those awarded in North America weren’t significantly higher. However, straight pay rises awarded in other parts of the world were as much as three times those given in Europe and North America.

While there is a lot of work to be done in the regulatory and product safety areas, many firms are relying more on in-house staff, as was noted in the survey. That trend has also been observed by John Sherratt, business manager with placement firm VRS Regulatory, and he attributes it to the challenging economic environment that companies are facing today. He notes that companies are keeping head counts down and external expenditures limited, and using employees unless the project requires specialised expertise that cannot be found internally. The good news, according to Mr Sheratt, however, is that for professionals with those specialised capabilities, demand is very strong, and salaries are increasing. In particular, people with REACH and biocide/agchem registration experience, knowledge of testing, and expertise in fate/exotoxicity analyses are in short supply and high demand. In fact, for Nonstop Recruitment, the demand for environmental fate specialists and ecotoxicologists was even higher than expected in 2012, according to Abid Kanji, country manager, toxicology, ecotoxicology, regulatory affairs & REACH. For other chemical management and control positions, while the job markets in Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium picked up markedly in 2011, it was the UK that experienced a real increase in demand in 2012, according to Mr Kanji. However, he notes that demand for regulatory staff to support REACH, biocides and agchem regulations has been greatest for junior to mid-range level positions, and opportunities remain few and far between for directorlevel positions.

The US employment scene Within the chemical manufacturing and downstream manufacturing sectors, there is real demand for positions at every level now, and in all types of positions, including engineering and chemical risk management, according to Greg Harper, vice president of the industrial practice for Charles Aris Inc, a placement firm in Greensboro, NC USA. “The economy is recovering, and not only is increased demand for goods driving the need for more highly skilled people, many employees who postponed retirement because of the poor economic situation are now taking that step and leaving additional positions vacant,” Mr Harper notes. Further adding to the demand is the movement to bring manufacturing back to the US.

Specifically for positions in the chemical risk management area, the increasing regulatory requirements around the world are an additional factor that is coming into play. “These positions require specialised skills, and there is a shortage in the US of people with these abilities, because we don’t have that many graduating students that have majored in these areas. So while there are fewer of these types of positions available compared to, for example, process engineers, people with these skills and relevant experience are in higher demand and hard to find.” As a result, his company, which is usually retained only for filling the highest level positions, is currently being hired to fill positions at the $80,000 level. Another indication of the shortage of talent in the chemical risk management field is the fact that consulting firms in the US are turning to placement companies for help with their hiring. “Usually, consulting firms have no problem attracting people to fill positions. We have been told by several firms that they are at capacity due to human resource limitations. That they are looking for recruitment firms to help find people means that the market is really tight,” Mr Harper says. The tightness has led to an increase in salaries. In the recent past, he says, companies could differentiate themselves from the competition with non-salary offerings, but that is no longer enough. The agriculture industry will be another source of new jobs, and not just in the US. “All over the world, the average age of employees in this industry is very high. There are going to be a lot of people retiring over the next several years, and we are expecting to see substantial growth in hiring in this industry just to replace them, let alone the jobs created by growth,” he predicts. Most importantly, he expects that tight conditions in the chemicals management and control – and general manufacturing – job market in the US will continue for the foreseeable future.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

Using service providers and future market trends Given that the upcoming REACH deadline covers a far greater number of chemicals with less available data, and that other product-specific regulations will soon come into force that also require extensive product data, it is not surprising that laboratory testing was identified by participants in the survey as the most-used type of service at the time of the survey, late in 2012 (nearly 29%, Figure 13). Consultancy services were second in demand (almost 26%), which is also to be expected given the complexity of many of the current regulatory systems and requirements. There was also a real need for IT & software services (12.4%) and training assistance (9.7%).

On the disappointing side, NonStop saw a 70% decline in demand for toxicologists in 2012 as compared to 2011. Interest did increase towards the end of the year, but not in a manner that indicates any urgency. “It is possible that this lack of growth/demand for toxicologists is due to the fact that demand was extremely high in 2011, and the majority of positions were filled. I am optimistic, though, that growth will return in 2013,” Mr Kanji comments. NonStop also expects demand for regulatory staff within the flavour and fragrance industry to increase three-fold due to the EU cosmetics legislation. There is a concern about availability of candidates though, according to Mr Kanji. He, therefore, expects that some cosmetic companies will be willing to train people with experience in chemical and/or consumer products regulatory affairs activities. Also on the positive side, salaries are, at a minimum, steady and definitely not declining for all positions in this sector, according to VRS Regulatory’s Mr Sherratt. “In fact,” he says, “the overall job market and demand in the chemical management and control sector have been pretty steady in the UK and Europe despite the recent global recession and current economic situation, and the situation is not expected to change in the foreseeable future.”

Interestingly, compared to the fairly significant differences in the distribution of services used in 2010 and 2011, only minor differences can be seen between 2011 and 2012 (Figure 16). Laboratory testing, as noted above, was in greatest demand in 2012, as was the case in 2011. The level of demand for the other main categories of services was also similar in the last two years. The only differences were a slight decline in the use of representation and management, information and legal services, which was counterbalanced by an increase in the demand for training and other services.

With respect to the frequency with which survey respondents use external chemical management and control services, regardless of the type of service, they utilise them on an occasional basis (30-53%) far more than on a frequent (10-27%) or permanent (10% or less) basis (Figure 17). Both consultancy and laboratory services are the most likely to be used on a frequent or permanent basis by survey participants. -

This increase in in-house spending most likely reflects the current and challenging economic climate and is therefore not unreasonable. In response to the increasing complexity of global regulatory requirements related to chemical management and control, more companies in 2012 pushed towards establishing separate compliance divisions than towards the integration of their compliance activities with the overall management activities of the company (Figure 15).

Expenditures on outsourced chemicals management and control services in 2012 was measured in the survey. The 289 respondents who are purchasers of services invested on average approximately â&#x201A;Ź1.3m on outsourced services, which equates to a total yearly expenditure of â&#x201A;Ź370m. Alongside this, an increasing proportion of work is going to in-house teams (Figure 14). In fact, in 2012, 78% of respondents indicated that 60% or more of spending on chemicals management and control activity was for in-house efforts, which is up from approximately 61% in both 2010 and 2011. In fact, on average, 72% of chemical management and control work was performed in-house in 2012, compared to 63% in 2011 and 62% in 2010.

Customer perceptions of the service provider market Even though the preference appears to be to use in-house chemical management and control resources as much as possible, it appears that the continued growth in the number of regulations being developed and implemented around the world will require chemical, consumer product, and other manufacturers and suppliers that participate in global markets, to increase their reliance on external service providers for assistance. There is, however, concern in some cases about the ability of service providers to meet the full extent of their needs. The specific concerns of end users of chemical management and control services depend largely, of course, on the location of their largest customer bases. For one large downstream manufacturer of speciality products, REACH, CLP, GHS and the changing global registration environment, are at the top of the list because the company has a large EU portfolio of manufactured and imported chemicals, and is also moving into new and evolving markets with developing regulations (e.g. Asia Pacific). Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies has a similar focus, with major elements of its chemical management and control programme in 2012 covering compilation of eSDSs, preparation for the 2013 REACH registrations, substance notifications in China and following up on GHS implementations globally, including adapting label systems to the new requirements, according to Mr Verbiest.

For speciality chemical firms Eastman and Ashland, it is not surprising that US-based regulations are high on the list of issues to deal with, followed by REACH and increased country-specific regulations, again particularly those in Asia. Meeting the first reporting requirements of the new US EPA’s Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule was a big task in 2012, according to Eastman’s Mr Schüller. Compliance with the new GHS requirements will have a huge impact in 2013 for both companies. Managing conflict minerals and international food contact compliance and staying on top of the Canada inventory update will also be important for Ashland in 2013, says Dr Lindquist. While these increased regulations have not, for the most part, had any major effect on the availability of chemicals, Ashland has experienced some loss of ability to manufacture certain products because certain countries are in the middle of implementing requirements under global chemical conventions. Sourcing raw materials used in products manufactured in the EU has also become an issue for Ashland. A lack of significant improvement in supply chain communication is not helping the situation. One large downstream producer says it has observed some improvements, but not nearly enough, particularly given the urgency of the 2013 REACH deadline. Honeywell is also unhappy with the current status of supply chain communication. “Many companies, particularly distributors and SMEs, are requiring statements and/or confirmation that are not required by any regulations, and are thus adding significantly to the workload of our regulatory compliance efforts.” Mr Verbiest says. “The basis for the requests is largely due to a lack of understanding of the regulations, and the need for eSDSs and a lack of IT technology to cope with them have made clear communication even more difficult. Unfortunately, we do not expect much improvement in 2013, either; the new registration deadline will mean that a significantly greater number of eSDSs will be requested, and managing the language requirements for the very technical extensions will be challenging.” Eastman, too, would like to see more standardisation of eSDSs across and down the supply chain to make the process more efficient and effective, according to Mr Schüller. For service providers, however, the increasing work load does mean that these companies anticipate a need for external support. In 2012, a leading flavour and fragrance manufacturer outsourced support for toxicological studies, risk assessment and registration services because the company does not have in-house toxicological facilities and the registration workload was very high. Those workloads are expected to increase further in 2013 due to the need to begin preparations for the REACH 2018 deadline and other global registration demands, and thus the company will be increasing its use of service providers, according to a spokesperson. Honeywell also mainly uses outside consultants for compiling and follow- up of substance notifications and registrations. The intensity of such requirements has increased recently, and Mr Verbiest anticipates that it will continue to do so over the next few years, because more countries have started or planned for substance or product inventories. There will thus be greater need for external support to meet these growing requirements. And while Ashland does not cite any specific services over others, the company’s need for global consultants has become more frequent, and will continue to do so, according to Dr Lindquist.

Prices, always a point of contention, are becoming a bigger issue; only 33% of clients are currently satisfied with the prices charged by their service providers, which is down from 41% in 2011 (Figure 20). Given the decline in overall satisfaction, it is interesting that fewer survey respondents are currently considering changing suppliers (with those saying ‘yes’ or ‘possibly’ down from 61% last year to 53% this year; Figure 21). -

There has also been a marked drop in satisfaction levels in qualifying characteristics of service providers (Figure 19). For example, just 53% of this year’s participants are satisfied with the availability of the service provider compared to 70% in 2011, while just 62% are happy that their briefs are being met, a drop of 10 percentage points from last year.

Chemical service providers

All of these users of chemical management and control service providers, however, are very careful about which firms they do business with. Honeywell uses a substantial pool of consultants and has been rather conservative in its choices, according to Mr Verbiest. “We do have the impression that a number of ‘new’ consulting shops are not really experienced or knowledgeable about what they are trying to sell,” he notes “We do not want to spend our time educating new consultants, and have therefore mostly retained the services of long-term and well -established firms; the cost for these providers may be higher, but we still feel that we get value for money with them.” Ashland, too, tries to work with firms with which they have had past experience and have been satisfied, and particularly those with whom they have established a relationship over time. That is not always possible, of course, and says Dr Lindquist, the company has several projects underway now for which they are evaluating the quality of the service. Meanwhile, a leading flavour and fragrance producer has had some disappointments in 2012, with some service providers overestimating their capabilities. “Some providers appear to lack project management skills and business acumen and have a poor appreciation of strategic goals,” says a spokesperson for the firm. As a result, the overall level of satisfaction with providers has declined in the last year, and the company is looking for providers with a commitment to accuracy, efficient communications, effective working processes and quality. Our survey suggests that this company is not alone in feeling less satisfied with chemical management and control services recently. In fact, overall satisfaction levels with the work of service providers have decreased from 88% at the time of the first survey at the end of 2010, to 78% last year and 73% currently (Figure 18).

survey respondents also indicated that, as VRS Regulatory’s Mr Sherratt noted for job seekers, having well-established expertise is of critical importance if service providers are to be successful. Staff with relevant expertise and proven experience on similar projects were cited most often (86% and 79%, respectively) as the top factors when users are selecting a new service provider (Figure 22). In-depth knowledge of country-specific regulations was also important for a significant number of respondents (66%). Other factors of note include availability (51%), proposal quality (51%) and global capabilities (46%). -

Nevertheless, more than half of users say they are thinking about changing their suppliers for various reasons and chief among them is value for money. Lack of availability, flexibility and on-time delivery were also cited by several different respondents as major reasons for switching to a different supplier. Some, on the other hand, have developed new needs that their existing suppliers can’t meet, and while satisfied with the support they have received to date, need to find an alternative provider with the relevant expertise. Honeywell’s Mr Verbiest, for example, while satisfied with his established pool of providers, says he is also looking for new capabilities. “We would like to see service providers, if possible experienced, that can help us look at relatively new regions for our chemicals control portfolio, regions such as Russia, India, South America and the Middle East. With countries in these regions looking at ‘easy-to-implement’ regulations that are copies of REACH or drop-ins for the UN GHS, we anticipate significantly more regulatory needs in the global marketplace.” For similar reasons, translated resources are described as a critical need for Ashland.

The outlook is even stronger for external service demand, according to the survey results. In the next 12 months, while 44% expect demand to remain static, another 49% expect an increase, and that number rises to 59% for the next five years with 8% of respondents predicting a significant rise in demand (Figure 25). One leading manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience matches the results of the survey: the company says it increased its use of external services in 2012 compared to 2011, and expects it will do so again in 2013 due to increasing workloads for REACH 2018 and global registration demands.

Implications for the future demand for services Overall, participants in the survey were positive about the health of the services market. With respect to the need for in-house staff, 47% of survey respondents expect the situation to remain static over the next 12 months, while 45% anticipate need to increase (Figure 24). That increases further in the longer term, with expectations for an increase in the need for in-house staff rising over the next five years to 59%.

As mentioned by Dr Lindquist of Ashland, companies looking for external support for chemical management and control activities often prefer to work with providers with whom they have developed a relationship. Survey respondents indicated that certain aspects of those relationships are more important than others (Figure 23). Strict adherence to project protocols and having long-term relationships with individual staff were identified as the top factors by 47% of the survey participants. Having service level agreements in place (37%), keeping costs under control (33%) and conducting regular reviews (27%) were other factors that can have a strong positive influence on the relationship between service providers and their clients.

These numbers change only slightly when looking five years into the future (Figure 27). The largest percentage of survey participants (over 66%) expect that the demand for information and training services, along with IT & software support, will continue to increase, followed by laboratory and consultancy services (~55%). Most importantly, in all of the service categories, respondents were more likely to predict that demand is likely to rise over the next five years than in the next 12 months. It is interesting to see how the survey results were borne out in our qualitative discussions. Chemical manufacturers Givaudan, Eastman Chemical, Honeywell Performance Materials & Technologies and Ashland have external service needs that fall into the leading categories identified by the survey. Givaudan outsources toxicological and environmental studies, risk assessment and registration services, while Honeywell mainly uses outside consultants for compiling and follow -up of substance notifications and registrations. Eastman, meanwhile, uses a consultant to send Sief surveys for REACH in order to gauge the interest in co-registration when the company is the Lead Registrant, and outsources laboratory testing. Ashland, on the other hand, turns to external consultants as issues arise, and particularly those that can address global chemical management and control requirements.

Over half of survey participants also expect to see increases in the need for training courses, regulatory policy tracking support and IT solutions for regulatory information management and MSDSs. -

Concluding remarks Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to be in the chemical management and control service market. With increasing country-specific and product specific regulations being introduced around the globe, implementation of individual GHS requirements and all aspects of REACH now moving up to full gear, the compliance workload is increasing. Many companies are striving to rely on in-house staff as much as possible, but must turn to external service providers with specialised areas of expertise. Therefore, demand for services is expected to increase in both the short and long terms. Chemical management and control service providers would do well to note, however, that when companies do commission their services, they look for providers with proven expertise and experience, that meet deadlines, manage projects well and generally go beyond the minimum. Providers with a recognised history of excellent performance, an awareness of changing market dynamics and the ability to understand and address client needs, will therefore benefit most from the anticipated growth.

It used existing mammalian, human and environmental data for the active pharmaceutical ingredient to identify test concentrations, sensitive life stage(s) and the appropriate choice of experimental design.

Only representative and third party representative We act for manufacturers outside the EU as only representative and cover fully the registration and pre-registration obligations. The importers of that non-EU manufacturer would no longer have duties as importers, but will be regarded as downstream users. Only one registration is needed by the only representative. Moreover, we act as only representative for non-EU manufacturers of articles, which intentionally release substances and we act as third party representative (of a community entity) according to REACH Article 4.

On conducting due diligence, however, it became apparent that there was a need to support non-intermediate uses, albeit at lower tonnage bands. Based on OSOR principles advocated by ECHA and expressed within the guidance, CS Regulatory accepted the role of lead registrant to undertake the necessary updates to the dossier and produce suitable chemical safety assessment to ensure the ongoing compliance for the non EU supplier and downstream users.

CASE STUDY 3: DU compliance CS Regulatory assisted an international supplier of armoury and projectile products with their compliance requirements. The client had dual roles as both a direct importer but also as a downstream user, and was unsure of their compliance position. In seeking to ensure compliance with all EU regulations, CS Regulatory was employed to assess the chemical substances and products and articles from all suppliers to review the REACH status, SVHC content and CLP compliance with a view to GHWHUPLQLQJ RXU FOLHQWVÂś UHJLVWUDWLRQ DQG QRWLÂżFDWLRQ REOLJDWLRQV %\ PHDQV of site audits and review of the various supply chains and associated documentation, CS Regulatory was able to determine the status of products and provide recommendations for ensuring compliance plus suitable documentation for use with downstream users.

Utilising an approach with the member state authorities, it was possible to determine whether the required substances could possibly be evaluated as such (or had been) along with provision of budgets to allow for determination of viability of supporting such products through the biocide registration process. This allowed the client to quickly determine the implications of supporting such products within the EU.

Dr RĂźdiger Battersby is the founder and director of EBRC. After his PhD in biochemistry, he took up a position as manager of a contract research organisation in Hannover (IBR), from where he switched to EBRC. Apart from his responsibilities as managing director and principal coordinating toxicologist, he acts as supervisor for all of EBRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agrochemical, biocidal and industrial chemical risk assessments. His professional expertise encompasses involvement in the German governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review programme (BUA) on existing chemicals, representation of industry consortia in RA conducted under the ESR programme (793/93) and at EU-TCNES level, as well as the conduct of several dozen occupational exposure surveys in various sectors of the chemical industry. Among other professional activities, he is an appointed member of the German Expert Gremium for Chemicals Safety of the German Chemical Society.

PARTNERS ARCHE, Belgium CLIENTS A wide range of companies producing agrochemicals, biocides and industrial chemicals and/or formulated products. CASE STUDY 1: MEASE On behalf of EUROMETAUX, EBRC developed a tool for the estimation and assessment of occupational exposure (MEASE) which combines approaches from the EASE expert system, from the TRA tool and from the health risk assessment guidance for metals (HERAG).

With its extensive background in metals risk assessments, EBRC was contracted from 2005-2007 by the European Metals Industry to compile a guidance document for the human health risk assessment of metals and inorganic metal compounds. The HERAG documents provide guidance WR WKH ZRUOGZLGH UHJXODWRU\ DQG VFLHQWLÂżF FRPPXQLW\ RQ VHYHUDO DVSHFWV of risk assessment methodology for metals where classic tools developed for organics are not applicable.

Dr Arne Burzlaff graduated as a chemist (2000) and obtained a PhD in technical chemistry/biotechnology (2005). He worked for the German Federal Institute for occupational safety and health, Division for Chemicals and Biocides Regulation (2005-2007) on dossier evaluation for biocides, collaboration in EU working groups and scoping issues on borderline cases among legal frameworks. Since 2007 he has been working at EBRC as senior scientist/toxicologist. In this position he has been compiling REACH registration dossiers, with a focus on human health hazard assessment and risk characterisation, and initiation and monitoring of experimental studies on industrial chemicals.

CASE STUDY 3: RiCoG

Andreas BĂźsing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Senior Registration Manager Agrochemicals

The rigorous containment guide (RiCoG provides guidance to registrants of isolated intermediates on how rigorous containment (RiCo) of their intermediates can be assessed and documented according to the stipulations of regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH). In an integrated assessment of SCC for an entire process (adopted from an approach published by Hirst et al. (2002)), RiCoG can be used to prioritise individual process steps requiring higher tier assessments, and provides an easy and structured way to assess and to document RiCo for the remaining process steps. Experts from various metals' industries have contributed with their practical experience to the development of RiCoG.

CASE STUDY 1: Americhem Challenge: Americhem is a global organisation that brings polymer

products to life with custom-crafted colour and additive solutions. Americhem needed to stay abreast of the ever-changing legislative environment and maintain a high level of expertise in interpreting legislative changes and their impact on the company. Solution: Americhem implemented a global product stewardship solution from IHS that enabled the company to streamline its processes and support its globalisation efforts. This software and regulatory content suite of products provides seamless raw materials management, auto creation and authoring of SDS in nearly 50 languages. Results: the IHS solution greatly improved Americhemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to manage compliance automatic data link updates providing the latest developments on regulatory changes and requirements on all chemicals. This has enabled the company to focus on its core business rather than compliance issues. CASE STUDY 2: Dow Chemical Challenge: Dow was looking to replace multiple legacy environmental reporting systems. Previously, Dow used multiple legacy systems for regulatory reporting, but those systems were no longer sustainable, varied between sites, and required duplicate resources for support. The company also was looking to develop and standardise best practices with a single robust reporting system across 200 US facilities. Solution: Dow implemented the IHS Environmental Performance Solutionâ&#x201E;˘.

Consumer goods providers must take many legal stipulations into consideration. Particular attention is paid to hazardous materials and hazardous cargo. Usually, these providers are distributors and not manufacturers of the products. Therefore, a few traders have established a partnership with KFT Chemieservice GmbH, in order to verify product compliance. Together with the tender, suppliers of the consumer goods SURYLGHUV DUH DVNHG WR VXEPLW D FRQÂżUPDWLRQ IURP .)7 &KHPLHVHUYLFH GmbH that all documents and labels conform to legal regulations.

Other staff Majority of staff are PhD chemists, biologists and experts in food technology with years of experience for material registrations and MSDS. In-house training is a strong focus and sustainable external training is obligatory.

CASE STUDY 2: Marketability study 2 Medium sized chemical companies strategically expand their marketing range. In-house experts are normally familiar with the details of European regulations. But what are the regulations for transport, warehousing and labelling in exotic countries? We check the requirements in this area using the target country list, create checklists and make recommendations for labels. The customer receives detailed and reliable documentation about the requirements.

OVERVIEW

REACh ChemAdvice GmbH is a sister company of ChemAdvice AG. It was formed by a group of senior executives with decades of experience in the chemical industry, in collaboration with a team of REACH specialists. As an independent representative, with no direct involvement in the production or trading of chemicals, REACh ChemAdvice can act on your behalf without bias. This is very important, especially if you have multiple agents, indirect exports, or want to alter your supply chain into Europe. Founded to help non-EU manufacturers to comply with REACH as only representative, the company now supports EU producers and importers as consultant and/or third party representative, and downstream users as consultant in all REACH matters. Unlike most advisors, we offer the complete scope of REACH-related services: in-house and through our network. REACh ChemAdvice would like to transfer the lessons learned from REACH to the new European Cosmetics Regulation, where the challenge for the cosmetic industry is implementing both regulations at the same time.

Tasks were divided between the project manager to compile data from the company while ReachCentrum investigated procedural queries with ECHA. For each registration submission, the project manager and ReachCentrum consultant together compiled the IUCLID 5 dataset, generated the dossier and submitted this to ECHA. The company felt reassured that the advice and guidance given by ReachCentrum was relevant and appropriate at each stage of the process. A level of trust and reliability had been established over the months of working together.

CASE STUDY 1: Provision of analysis of alternative and socioeconomic analysis support services RPA is currently providing REACH authorisation support to a consortium of manufacturers of a SVHC substance. The work includes preparation of an analysis of alternatives (involving an assessment of the technical and economic feasibility of alternative chemicals and techniques), supply chain communication to develop information on uses and usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responses to the loss of the SVHC in question, and preparation of socio-economic analyses of the impacts of the loss of the SVHC. As part of this work, we are using the services of specialist toxicology and risk assessment consultants to further up-date the chemical safety assessment and to provide additional interpretation of toxicological data for both the substance and the alternatives.

Because Royal HaskoningDHV provides many more services than chemicals management alone, it has service relations with clients covering a wide variety of solutions. Clients are, for example, in pharma, Ă&#x20AC;DYRXUV DQG IUDJUDQFHV SODVWLFV SHWURFKHPLFDOV SDLQWV DQG FRDWLQJV minerals and metals. CASE STUDY 1: Optimal use of alternative methods to reduce animal testing and costs A group of manufacturers and importers of natural complex substances cooperated with Royal Haskoning to prepare a series of REACH registration dossiers for related substances. For the preparation of GRVVLHUV IRU WKHVH VSHFLÂżF VXEVWDQFHV DOO SDUWLHV FRPPLWWHG WR WKH RSWLPDO use of alternative methods to testing.

The exposure assessment and risk characterisation were performed by using Chesar and applying higher tier modelling like the advanced REACH tool (ART) for worker exposure and the higher tier possibilities EUSES offers to reduce the estimated releases to the environment and to achieve realistic maximum use levels on a site. This approach allows the industry to UHPDLQ Ă&#x20AC;H[LEOH ZLWKLQ LWV FXUUHQW RSHUDWLRQDO HQYLURQPHQW CASE STUDY 2: Tailor-made interim risk management measures To a consortium on inorganic substances with registration deadlines in 2010 little information was available on repeated dose toxicity and developmental toxicity. To save costs and time the Annex VIII studies were waived and higher tier tests were proposed. Until these higher tier tests can be conducted interim risk management measures (RMMs) had to be implemented. An alternate derived no effect level (DNEL) for the substances was established using an expert insight in existing occupational exposure limits (OEL) for surrogate substances. Where the Chesar exposure assessment led to rigorous RMMs, or incompliance, we used experts tools, eg higher tier modelling using ART and Consexpo. We also devised an occupational exposure measurement program to be able to compare safe levels of use with the actual industry situation and reduce uncertainties. This approach enabled us to generate a realistic exposure assessment with a minimal set of RMMs.

Asked by a major player in the cycle industry to verify that their Indian VXSSOLHU ZDV VXIÂżFLHQWO\ HQVXULQJ WKDW QR 69+& OLVW FDQGLGDWHV ZHUH contained in the products exported to Germany, SGS staff from Germany and India carried out a training and site audit at the Indian supplierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility. Despite being aware of the basic facts on REACH and having implemented various compliance procedures, the staff of the Indian company were found by SGS not to have fully grasped all measures possible to comply with their customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations and EU SVHC requirements. The service by SGS hence proved to not only be well worth the investment for our client to ensure REACH compliance of their imported products, but also turned out to be a valuable opportunity for the Indian company to improve their quality standard procedures.

CASE STUDY 1: Technical support to a multinational company

Dr Shruti Ralegaonkar

Technical support provided to a multinational company having its own European legal entity as their only representative for successful submission of REACH registration dossier. Problem: due to the registration dossier failing the technical completeness check (TCC) at ECHA, the company had only one opportunity for resubmission of the registration dossier without losing its ECHA registration fee.

All companies must register their chemicals by mid-2013 and by 2018 at the very latest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is especially challenging for small and midsized businesses! TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D aims to help these companies ensure that REACH is not a threat, but a path to safeguarding business. With the special needs of small and midsized companies in mind, TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D has created a service package that provides these companies with assistance in all questions related to chemicals. The spirit of initiative: focus on your core competences, not on REACH.

OVERVIEW The principle of REACH, "No data, no market", may seem alarming. Additionally, comprehensive obligations governing the provision of information along the supply chain and to ECHA are gradually coming into effect. As a globally recognised expert in all chemical law issues, TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D continuously pursues the reform process in the EU and supports companies throughout all steps of REACH and GHS implementation. To assist the companies affected by REACH, TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D has established an international REACH network. Our environmental experts are tracking REACH implementation in the EU on an ongoing basis. And in addition, we also help to maintain business secrets of our customers in spite of mandatory data sharing provisions. In view of the 2018 registration deadline TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D developed a service package custom tailored for small and medium enterprises (SME) as well as for global players. Our maxim is â&#x20AC;&#x153;REACH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Made easy with TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D expertise.â&#x20AC;? VITAL STATISTICS

Several clients from the chemical industry lacked capacity to prepare lead dossiers. TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D prepared and submitted the lead dossiers on behalf of the clients. Additionally, all accompanying steps were performed as well: Sief communication, data-gap analyses, testing, expert statements, QSAR modelling, communication within consortium, preparation of safety data sheets, cost calculation of letter of access, handling of letter of access.

The information was evaluated for its completeness and quality (relevance, reliability and adequacy). Cost for data sharing is one of the crucial issues of negotiations in Siefs. High quality data outsell a higher price than data of low quality. Some data gaps were closed by QSAR and read-across. Other data gaps had to be closed by testing. A thorough and meaningful test strategy was set up in order to minimise cost and to comply with the registration deadlines on one hand and to comply with REACH annexes VII to X on the other hand. TĂ&#x153;V SĂ&#x153;D operates its own GLP testing laboratory capable of performing all testing required by REACH. The data gaps were closed by physico-chemical properties testing, ecotoxicological studies as well as toxicological studies. Chemical Watch | Global Service Providers Guide 2013

2008

Establish CRO network

2009

Establish global network of expert regulatory consultants

For a world-leading toy manufacturer WTConsulting successfully developed a global safety strategy going beyond applicable toys regulations. The strategy addresses the rapid developments in the regulatory environment not limited to consumer safety, but also addressing the product life cycle per se. As the evaluation of the raw materials was part of the project, sensitive information was disclosed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; under a secrecy agreement. The safety strategy grants compliance (beyond) toy regulations and directs permanent optimisation of raw materials in view of life cycle aspects.
