REACH: Exposure Scenarios

ATIEL has worked with ATC (Technical Committee of the Petroleum Additives Industry in Europe) to develop and communicate information on use descriptors and generic exposure scenarios (GES) for common lubricant end uses to all those involved in the lubricants supply chain. 

The objective of these generic exposure scenarios  is to offer everyone in the lubricants supply chain a standardised format for their exposure scenarios and a standardised language and terminology to use in those documents.

No one is obliged to follow these recommendations but by doing so it may greatly improve communication with your downstream users and/or your upstream suppliers. In doing so, it is expected that they will receive documents in a format and using a set of terms with which they are already familiar.

Using these recommendations should also make it very much easier for you to develop Exposure Scenarios for your own products (if necessary) and prepare the extended Safety Data Sheet (eSDS). The goal of this project is therefore to standardise communication in the lubricants supply chain and considerably reduce workload.
