REACH bitumen uses

Eurobitume has published a guidance table which translates the current list of REACH use descriptors for bitumen, prepared by CONCAWE, into the relevant uses and applications commonly understood throughout the bitumen industry.

This information is made available here to enable downstream users to see the list of uses that manufacturers are considering for inclusion in their registration dossiers. Eurobitume will update this list as new uses are identified or if the guidance from ECHA on this subject is modified.
