Consultation

ICIS is implementing a process of rolling consultation on all of its methodologies. This consultation paper is part of this formal process and covers all of the ICIS primary price points included in the methylene chloride weekly publications.

The consultation asks both general questions about the suitability of the ICIS methodology and questions addressing specific methylene chloride market issues.

Summary of responses

There was one formal response to consultation GMC 14/15, in which the respondent requested confidentiality.

The response requested increased coverage of particular sectors, including chloroform demand, refrigerants and production rates, but no changes to the methodology.

ICIS Decision

ICIS will not be proposing any immediate changes to the methodology of the methylene chloride report. Any decision to change this methodology will be communicated to subscribers using the usual channels and with the usual notice period.

ICIS continues to welcome any feedback on its methylene chloride methodology outside of the formal consultation process.

To provide further comments or feedback please contact Barbara Ortner, Head of Market Reporting: Barbara.Ortner@icis.com
