The communication of uses according to the Use Descriptor System is an essential step in developing a Chemical Safety Assessment.In view of the complexity of the registration process (i.e. significant numbers of substances, manufacturers/importers and uses), a common framework is considered necessary to harmonize communication within the additised fuel supply chain to ensure effective and efficient information exchange on Identified Uses between Manufacturers/Importers and Downstream Users.

The following two sections advise on how Suppliers and Downstream Users within the additised fuel supply chain can use the information provided in these web pages (in conjunction with the ECHA guidance if necessary) to ensure that the registration dossiers of substances used in the additised fuel industry sector cover all the relevant Identified Uses and aid in the generation of Exposure Scenarios.

The guidance is divided between Suppliers and Downstream Users since it is anticipated that the information will be used differently depending on your position within the additised fuel supply chain. It is recognised that individual companies can be both a Supplier and a Downstream User and so might need access to both sections of this site.
