EU REACH Compliance
EU REACH regulates the registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals in the EU including EEA/NI*, covering substances on their own, in mixtures, or within articles.
Introduced by the European Union in June 2007, REACH was designed to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals, while also enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry.
EU REACH mandates that companies identify and manage the risks associated with the substances they produce and distribute within the EU. Companies are responsible for demonstrating that their substances are safe for use and must effectively communicate the necessary risk management measures to downstream users. Compliance with these regulations is critical for any company operating within the EU.
Your obligations under EU REACH
Achieving REACH compliance is essential, as non-compliance can effect:
- Market Access: Non-compliance risks losing access to EU markets and limits growth.
- Reputation Risk: Your brand could suffer if you do not meet your regulatory obligations or your products harm people or the environment.
- Supply Chain Disruptions: Challenges can cause delays with lasting effects on the supply chain.
Recent enforcement changes highlight the importance of proactive compliance to protect your business and ensure continued market access.
