In June 2008, the Lower Olefins and Aromatics REACH Consortium (“LOA REACH Consortium”) was established. Any eligible company that submitted a signed Accession Agreement by 31 December 2009 was able to complete the admission process to join the Consortium. The LOA REACH Consortium remained an open-ended consortium that welcomed applications from EU and non-EU manufacturers and importers of Lower Olefins and Aromatics. Non-EU manufacturers must be represented by an EU-based Only Representative.
The HOPA REACH Consortium (Higher Olefins and Poly Alpha Olefins REACH Consortium) was set up in January 2009 and the current membership constitutes the vast majority of the EU manufacturing capacity for the substances covered by the Consortium.
The manufacturers of Hydrocarbon Resins, Rosin Resins and Pine Chemicals Materials joined forces for their REACH compliance activities. They launched the H4R REACH Consortium in October 2008 and successfully registered 28 substances before the 2010 REACH deadline.
Penman Consulting assumed the management of the DINP Consortium (Di-isononyl phthalate) in January 2023. The Consortium works to ensure compliance with activities within REACH and currently consists of four members managing two substances.
Membership of the DINP Consortium is currently open.
