The adoption of a new chemicals policy brings significant changes to the obligations related to the manufacture, import and use of chemical substances. The Regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) concerns substances on their own, in preparations, in articles and in cartridges. REACH affects organisations at every point of the production chain – from manufacturers and EU-importers of substances, to manufacturers exporting to the EU, to downstream users and to companies assembling products from component parts. REACH could be a significant risk to your business.
We offer the following services to downstream users, manufacturers and EU-importers:
- REACH assessment – obligations and action plans
- Vulnerability assessments
- Training and awareness raising for company key personnel (management, procurement, sales, R&D, HSE) as well as for key suppliers and partners
- Only representative -services for non-European companies
- Third representative -services (SIEF and consortia)
- Extensive services relating to the registration process and communication in the supply chain (data gathering and gap analysis, dossier preparation, etc)
