F.A.Q.

1. Why do some of your NPK fertilizers indicate only two nutrients? For example: N (ammonium nitrate) and K (potassium chloride). Does this mean that these products do not have a phosphorus component?
2. Why you have pre-registered some NPK fertilizers as multi-constituent substance?
3. How does UralChem Assist plan to participate in the preparation of registration documents to registration URALCHEM Assist, in light of the CEFIC’s position on the matter?
4. Which substances have been pre-registered by URALCHEM Assist?
5. Whose interests does URALCHEM Assist represent?
6. What is the history of UralChem Assist?

Why do some of your NPK fertilizers indicate only two nutrients? For example: N (ammonium nitrate) and K (potassium chloride). Does this mean that these products do not have a phosphorus component?

No. According to the REACH Registration Guide for multi-constituent substances, only nutrients constituting concentration of 10-80% of weight are to be indicated. Therefore all substances constituting less than 10% concentration weight are not registered. However, according to requirements of the Consumer Rights Laws we are to specify all components used in production. Our customers can always learn about the structure of a product in its Safety Data Sheet and conformity certificates.

Why you have pre-registered some NPK fertilizers as multi-constituent substance?

The reason for this has to do with the technology employed by the plants whose interests we represent. REACH makes a distinction between mixtures which are created from several singular component substance (in fertilizer production these are referred to as blends) and multi-constituent substances containing several simple substances “ in a reactionary enclosure”. Therefore according to this technology we have qualified some of our clients’ production as “multi-constutient substance”. Some products were registered in this way, but far from all of them. More details on our pre-registered substances can be found at the “Substance” section of our site.

How does UralChem Assist plan to participate in the preparation of registration documents to registration URALCHEM Assist, in light of the CEFIC’s position on the matter?

We are actively participating in the preparation of documents. Presently, we have submitted applications to the consortium concerning the introduction of all our pre-registered substances. This level of participation is defined by the organization as “Involved”. However, for some substances, our company represents itself as the “Facilitator” of the SIEF.  In the future we intend to have the most active form of participation regardint he preparation of ECHA registration documents

Which substances have been pre-registered by URALCHEM Assist?
