Essential oils and extracts: /*By far the most complicated category,

essential oils and extracts are referred to as Natural Complex

Substances (NCS) within the industry or Substances of Unknown or

Variable composition (UVCBs) under REACH. Many of these substances are

imported into the EU in quantities greater than one tonne per year. The

challenge for this category is that many of these substances have been

used for hundreds of years, and as a result are generally recognized as

safe. This means that the necessary test data has never been generated.

Therefore, many companies possess the physico-chemical data but lack

testing facilities to produce the required human and environmental

exposure data. The European Flavor & Fragrance Association and the

European Federation of Essential Oils have formulated a plan to assist

the industry in preparing for the registration of Natural Complex

Substances. This is primarily through the formation of pre-consortia

which preempt the substance information exchange forum described in the

regulation. For the highest priority aroma chemicals and naturals,

namely those requiring registration in 2010, this process has already

started.
