understanding which Uses are supported   

Please follow the Steps 1- 4 to determine whether your Use will be included as a Supported Use in our REACH registration and in the new extended Safety Data Sheet when it becomes available.

Step 1: Refer to the "Generic use mapping for Fuels Marketing products” table and locate the columns on the right hand side of the page headed “Products Covered” to find the ExxonMobil product you purchase.

Step 2: The supported Uses (titles and a short description) are located on the left hand side of the table under the heading GES Title/Scope.  The scope of each title is described using the applicable REACH Use Descriptors: Sector of Use (SU), Process Category (PROC), Chemical Product Category (PC) and Environmental Release Category (ERC) .

Step 3: A tick mark under the ‘Products Covered’ column will indicate that ExxonMobil is planning to include this use in its registration dossier. If you find that your product / Use combination is covered by the provided REACH Use Descriptors, there is no need to take any further action with ExxonMobil with respect to Use Communication for that particular product.

Step 4: It is anticipated that the vast majority of applications will be adequately described by Steps 1-3. However, in the unlikely case that your application is not covered, then it is recommended that you contact ExxonMobil by email at reach_fm@exxonmobil.comas soon as possible to provide details of the additional Use that you would like ExxonMobil and/or its suppliers to consider.  

There is only a limited time window for you to provide this information. We would therefore encourage you to address this matter promptly as there is no obligation for us to consider Use communication received after Nov 30th 2009 for substances with a REACH registration deadline in 2010. If you feel uncomfortable with sharing Use information not already listed, you can conduct your own Chemical Safety Assessment which must be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency.
