The Chlorinated Solvents REACH Consortium covers 5 substances:

  • Dichloromethane (methylene chloride)
  • Chloroform (trichloromethane)
  • Carbon tetrachloride (tetrachloromethane)
  • Trichloroethylene
  • Tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene)

It was launched beginning of 2009, after 1 year of preparatory work guided by the European industry association ECSA.
