The Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination Group (DUCC) is an informal platform of European associations which represent “downstream” industries ranging from cosmetics and detergents to aerosols, paints, adhesives, photographic and construction chemicals and chemical distributors industries.

The group's main objective is to contribute, with a common voice, to the successful implementation of the requirements of the REACH Regulation.

Since its creation, in 2001, DUCC has been recognised by the EU authorities and other stakeholders as the common voice for many users of chemicals. DUCC has been and will continue to be actively involved in the legislative process, contributing constructively to the implementation of REACH and ensuring that downstream users’ needs, rights, duties and specificities are taken into account.

This website contains information o­n DUCC - its objectives, functioning and membership – and its activities, as well as some useful links and contact information.
