Membership application
If your company (or association) is interested in becoming a member of i2a, please complete the:
- ‘Request For Admission form’ for an Associate Member
- ‘Request For Admission form’ for a Full Or Full REACH Member
and return these documents to Nathalie(at)antimony.com
The full membership fee consists of two components:
- the REACH cost
- the membership fee
When joining i2a, if you have EU-REACH Registration obligations, you will be obliged to make a one-off REACH-share cost payment as well as the yearly membership fee. If you don’t have EU-REACH Registration obligations, you only need to pay the yearly membership fee.
The REACH cost is calculated on the basis of the tonnage band your company is registering for under EU-REACH.
Membership fees are calculated on the basis of i2a’s operational budget and the annual tonnage of Antimony compounds your company produces or imports globally (with tonnage band-specific weights).
i2a is a not for profit association and works on the basis of the budget made available by its Members’ annual contributions.
The Associate Membership fee is a fixed access fee non-dependent on tonnage.
