Workshop on Regulatory Requirements for Chemicals within a Global Market
ATIEL, the technical association representing manufacturers and marketers in the European lubricants industry, organised with ATC, the Technical Committee of petroleum additive manufacturers, a workshop dedicated to regulatory requirements for chemicals within a global market.
The main goal of the meeting, which took place on the 23rd October 2019, was to highlight the compliance challenges and to discuss best practice solutions in meeting the diverse requirements of national authorities across the world. In addition, the objective was to find a path for improving cooperation with the European automotive industry manufacturing globally today and tomorrow, scanning the horizon for new chemicals and evolving chemicals legislations.
To handle the actual challenges ACEA proposes specific actions for improvement in the supply-chain communication and ask for discussion. But regulatory compliance data communication within the supply chain is complex. It requires a need to understand the current ways of working within additive companies,
10,000 Donors
For 2019/20, UKLA President David Hopkinson has chosen Macmillan Cancer Support as the President’s charity for the year.
Cancer is a pernicious illness that comes in many forms. It is estimated that around 2 in 5 people on average will be diagnosed with a form of cancer in their lifetime and many more besides will be affected by it by way of family and loved ones. The work that Macmillan does is invaluable, but it does not stand alone in the fight against cancer.
In September, the UKLA were delighted to welcome Peter McCleave, founder of the charity 10,000 Donors campaign, as a special guest speaker at our Annual General Meeting and Northern Lunch held in Manchester, UK.
Peter was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer, Myeloma, in 2017. Stem cell treatment can be used to
oil companies and their respective customers. Once processes, data availability and customer requirements are understood, the lubricants industry can identify the challenges faced with sharing data through the supply chain and seek to improve for the future.
During the discussions in the workshop, various solutions were presented to improve communication and increase trust between suppliers and their customers. In the final discussion the attendees agreed on a common goal: establish a joint task force on chemical compliance globally (ATC/ATIEL/ ACEA) to develop, among others, guidance for the communication of sensitive information throughout the supply chain ensuring a win-win situation for all operators and the protection of Confidential Business Information (CBI).
Attendees applauded the outcome of this workshop and the willingness of all stakeholders to achieve a constructive cooperative approach in product stewardship.

treat cancers like Myeloma, however for the treatment to be successful the donated cells must be a genetic match with the patient.
Even with the 30 million registered stem cell donors registered globally, this still leaves many sufferers of the disease without compatible cells with which they can be treated. The need to find more donors for potentially life-saving treatment is vital. Peter launched 10,000 Donors shortly after his diagnosis, determined to raise awareness and to encourage people to register as a donor.
Whilst Peter continues to wait for the genetic match that will hopefully help him in his own treatment, the UKLA is sharing his story to help encourage everyone to do what they can to ensure that his target of 10,000 new stem cell donors is reached. Please help. Register as a donor.
