Nearly 50 experts of the Network of REACH Socio-economic analysis and Analysis of alternatives practitioners (NeRSAP) met in Antwerp on 24 and 25 June 2024.

They discussed and shared experiences of:

• approaches that can be adopted in the search for safer alternatives;
• economic tools and behavioural aspects that could stimulate sustainable substitution; and
• REACH applications for authorisation process in context of supporting identification of more sustainable alternatives.

The workshop was organised by Eurometaux. ECHA will organise the next meeting of this network in Helsinki in 2025.

Network of REACH SEA and Analysis of Alternatives practitioners (NeRSAP)

NeRSAP has been set up to exchange on advances and review of concepts, methods and experiences focussed on practical concepts for Socio-economic Analysis (SEA) and Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) on EU-wide or national chemicals management implementation. It is set up in collaboration between ECHA, Member States and stakeholders from industry and NGOs.

Given REACH SEAs and AoAs are in general prepared by SEA and AoA practitioners for their clients being it industry, Member State authorities, ECHA, the Commission, or others, the NeRSAP network welcomes practitioners with regulatory, academic or consultancy background with demonstrated experience in the field of REACH and/or EU or national chemicals legislation.
