Model 231
1st June 2007 is the date when REACH, the new Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, has come into force. The new Regulation has replaced a number of European directives and regulations and had placed responsibility on the chemical industry to demonstrate the safety of its products.
The regulations (CE) 1907/2006 "REACH", published on 30/12/2006, is a profound re-examination of the complex of European Union norms in the sector for the control of chemical substances for the protection of public health and the environment and, for the first time, attributes to industry responsibility for demonstrating the safety of its products.
In the general context of the implementation of the REACH Regulations (CE) 1907/2006, one of the fundamental aspects concerns the exchange of information between producers and importers, as well as the users of chemical substances ("downstream users"). A particularly important element of this exchange concerns the identification of the effective uses of the substances themselves, so that they can be evaluated during the registration process and included in the future in the "extended" safety profile. If a specific use of a substance is not indicated in the profile this could result in restrictions on possible uses. The European Chemical Substances Agency (ECHA) has developed a series of codes ("REACH descriptions") to catalogue the uses of substances and to facilitate the exchange of information about their conditions of use in various industrial sectors. A list of such codes and other information about their use is available of the ECHA's web site
The following table gives an indication of some of the descriptions used with regard to petroleum products:
| Domestic fleet med area (Type of information) |
Description (Meaning of code) |
Example |
|---|---|---|
| SU | Market sectors using the product | SU3 - Industrial productions |
| PC | Use by compound type | PC24 - Lubricants, greases |
| PROC | Type of use or process | PROC1 - Used in closed processes |
| AC | Category of the article | AC1O-1 - Rubber products, tyres |
| ERC | Referring to the release mechanism | ERC |
A complete list of descriptions of the uses foreseen by the registration of substances under the terms of the REACH Regulations and scenarios regarding exposure for substances connected to the petroleum cycle can be found on the following web sites:

The Italian regulations on the "responsibility of the bodies for the administrative offences resulting from crime" contained in Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 establish that associative bodies - including joint stock companies – can be held responsible, and consequently sanctioned in a pecuniary manner and/or by disqualification, with regard to such offences committed or attempted in Italy or abroad in the interest or to the advantage of the company.
The companies have the opportunity in any case to adopt models of organisation, management and control that are suitable to prevent such offences. In the meeting held on 5 February 2008, the Board of Directors approved the organisation, management and control Model according to Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001, of which the new Ethics Code is an indispensable integral and general principle.
