“…The SINimilarity tool developed also by ChemSec [ 25 ] offers help to avoid substitution by substances of similar hazard.

This was the favourite proposal for improving the ‘SVHC right to know’ given by nearly half of the participants (Question 27) and mentioned by several persons who made comments, while there was no clear favourite among the various other options for information on the packaging (pictograms, names of SVHCs, traffic light system, etc.)…”

“…According to Eurostat, in 2015, about 56 % of articles sold within the EU market have been imported into the EU-28 from third countries. A high share of these articles are assumed "articles" in terms of REACH [19]. 22 Furthermore, there are some (alleged) legal uncertainties with respect to the role of BUND in the communication between consumers and firms.…”
