DEHP/2EH/n- and i-Butanal REACH consortium
The manufacturers of DEHP and the key raw materials 2-ethyl hexanol, and n-butanal have joined efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched in December 2008 the DEHP/2EH/n- Butanal REACH consortium. This Consortium has now completed the 2010 registration of all three substances.
Consortium description
Through the DEHP/2EH/n- Butanal REACH consortium, the manufacturers have decided to join efforts to prepare a consistent registration dossier building on the experience gained during the previous European existing chemicals risk assessment programme. The project management and secretariat of the consortium will be handled by ReachCentrum.

The DEHP/2EH/n- and i-Butanal REACH consortium has adopted the Cefic proposal for the coding of SIEFs and will commence communicating with SIEF pre-registrants shortly.
