REACH: Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals

reach On 1 June 2007 REACH regulation has entered into force. REACH involves all subjects that produce/manufacture, import, use, supply, not just chemical products (substances, preparations), but also products involved in other kind of industrial activity such as, for example, textile products.

Scope of the regulation is to evaluate all substances imported/manufactured/used within the Community in order to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment. This scope is reached also through the identification of substances of very high concern (SVHC) since their use and presence within products are subject to specific duties.

Even companies that are not responsible for the first placing of products on the European market (example: distributors, downstream users, etc) shall identify their role with respect to REACH in order to be able to identify the actions that shall be undertaken to satisfy the requirements of the regulation.

ICQ is at your disposal to support you toward REACH compliance.
