REACH Support The REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 became effective as of June 1, 2007 creating a single registration system for both new and existing chemicals in Europe. The main objectives of REACH are to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. REACH Deadlines 1 June 2007 REACH into Force 1 June 2008 REACH into Operation 1 December 2008 30 November 2010 31 May 2013 31 May 2018 Pre-registration Setup of European Chemicals Agency Registration of: 1 tonne/ year CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, Reprotoxic) 100 tonnes/ year very toxic to the aquatic environment 1000 tonnes/ year 100-1000 tonnes/ year 1-10 tonnes/ year 10-100 tonnes/ year New Substances Each manufacturer and importer of chemical substances (>1 t/a) need to obtain information on the physicochemical, health and environmental properties of their substances and submit a registration dossier documenting the data and assessments to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Challenges Ahead At this point, companies are looking ahead to the future registration deadlines. Compared to the previous 2010 deadline a larger number of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) will be affected. Some will be able to buy a Letter of Access of existing registrations but for many companies this won t be an option. They will need to get active to build their own dossier or hope someone will take the lead position. As the next registration deadlines covers less widely used substances, it is likely that less data will be available to fulfill the REACH requirements. Therefore we encourage our clients to start planning in an early stage to ensure laboratory and regulatory capacity. Our technical experts can support you in several ways to ensure meeting your REACH obligations. This could be developing global registration strategies, identifying and filling data gaps, dossier preparation as well as chemical safety reports and post submission support.
