REACH stands for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals of the European Union (EU). The new law came into existence on June 1, 2007, simplifying the 40 existing pieces of legislation into a single system of regulations for all chemicals. It provides information regarding chemicals acute and long-term effects. REACH compliance has five main components: pre-registration, registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction.
REACH aims to slowly replace the use of substance of very high concern with substances that pose a lesser risk; therefore, applicants must also investigate the possibility or substituting these substances with safer alternatives.
To continue manufacturing/importing substances on the EU market after December 1, 2008, manufacturers and importers must’ve pre-registered these chemicals between June 1 and December 1, 2008. The Pre-registration data includes your identity and contact information, the estimated imported tonnage and expected registration deadline, and the EINECS and CAS numbers for each substance. This data will be used by the European Chemicals Agency (ACHA) to allow companies registering the same substances to share the relevant data. Becoming REACH compliant can be an overwhelming and difficult task. That is why many decide to outsource their chemical product compliance.
