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 phthalic anhydride weekly publications.

The consultation asked both general questions about the suitability of the ICIS methodology and questions addressing specific phthalic anhydride market issues.

Summary of responses

Following the recent announcement that ICIS would be launching a formal methodology consultation process, we have received two confidential responses.

One requested the addition of packaging to the assessments in the Europe report, and one requested the addition of an FOB export Northeast Asia or FOB South Korea assessment to the Asia report.

ICIS Decision

ICIS will survey the market to see whether there is sufficient support for these to be added to the reports.
