Welcome to the LOA Reach Consortium

In June 2008, the Lower Olefins and Aromatics REACH Consortium (“LOA REACH Consortium”) was established. The LOA REACH Consortium is an open-ended consortium that welcomes 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.

This website is intended to provide some general information on the LOA REACH Consortium, its objectives and scope, and the procedures for joining.

Current Consortium members can access the Extranet site at https://extranet.loa-reach.com.

Membership of the LOA REACH Consortium offers multiple benefits

• Leverage of technical and regulatory resources within Member companies
• Gives access to Members and their Affiliates to the data developed by the Consortium for REACH registration purposes
• Shares the technical, project management and legal costs giving substantial savings in the unit cost of registration for Members
• Allows for use of a specialist services team with considerable technical and industry knowledge to do much of the complex technical preparation and documentation that REACH requires
• Allows the development of common industry positions on the science and its regulatory impact

An alternative to full membership for some companies may be to purchase a letter of access to specific items of the Consortium work product.
