Our Role

 

The SIA exists to promote the UK Solvents Industry, and endeavours to ensure that the UK regulatory framework relevant to the manufacture, storage, distribution and use of solvents, is based on sound science and best practice.

 

Every member is committed to the principles of Responsible Care and is also a member of the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) or The Chemical Business Association (CBA, formerly the BCDTA) or The European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC).

 

Through the specifically Solvents focussed activities of the SIA, every member is provided with the advice and guidance to comply with the latest legislation and best practice. Every member is encouraged to share this knowledge with all parties that come into contact with their Solvents.

 

Close cooperation is maintained with the UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) resulting in co-written best practise procedures and/or jointly funded initiatives.
