REACH Consulting
The New European Chemicals Policy
What REACH Is
The European Parliament’s REACH proposal envisions making industrial enterprises responsible for testing their chemical substances for possible hazards to consumers and the environment. The onus is on them to document that substances do not pose a hazard. In accordance with the “no data, no market” principle, substances will in the future only be permitted to be placed in circulation if sufficient data is available. What is sufficient will depend first and foremost on the volume of production. The higher the volume, the more data must be provided.
It is the same for articles, i. e. goods. They must not release especially hazardous substances to any alarming extent. Dealers in and importers of goods manufactured outside the EU are responsible for ensuring that this is the case.
Five Steps to Registration
Companies will proceed to registration or pre-registration in five stages:
Stage 1: Data Capture
Stage 2: Data Analysis
Stage 3: Cost Analysis
Stage 4: Cost Reduction
Stage 5: Preparation for (Pre)Registration
What We Offer
At all five stages we will assist you in implementing REACH projects – in drawing up data and cost analyses, in setting up REACH scenarios for your company, in forming consortia and in realizing the registration process.
