REACH stimulates the development of safer chemicals and restricts the use of most of the  hazardous chemicals

When REACH is fully in force, it will require all companies manufacturing or importing chemical substances into the European Union in quantities of one ton or more annually to register these substances within the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)

Supply of substances to the European market which have not been registered is illegal. This is known in REACH as “no data, no market”.

The final registration (> 1T per year) needs to be completed before June 1st , 2018.

  • Avoiding risk of impurities
  • Commitment to all aspects of safety through the supply chain
