VERIFICATION OF YOUR SUPPLIERS’ COMPLIANCE WITH THE REACH REGULATION

Industrial companies have the responsibility to assess the risks posed by the chemical substances they use and to provide their customers with the necessary information.

What is the REACH Regulation?

(Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals)

• REACH is a complex regulation aimed at ensuring the safety of chemical products throughout their life cycle. This includes their manufacture, importation, use, and disposal.
• One of the main obligations imposed by REACH is the registration of chemical substances, which means that companies must provide data on the properties and risks of the chemical products they produce or import.
• This regulation of the European Union has revolutionized the management of chemicals in Europe and has significant repercussions on our requests to chemical analysis laboratories.
• The Substance Watch List is updated on a multiannual basis and evolves rapidly depending on the toxicological evaluation of substances requiring increased vigilance.

How can you ensure that your suppliers offer products that comply with the REACH regulation?

• The REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) imposes strict obligations on industrial companies and suppliers regarding the registration, evaluation, and authorisation of chemical substances.
• Its complexity can lead to misunderstandings or disputes, particularly in cases of non-compliance or shortcomings in the traceability of substances.

In this context, using a firm of chemical experts is a valuable solution for effectively resolving such disputes.
