REACH Legislation in the EU - Do you need support in understanding the implications and complying with REACH?
On the 13th December, 2006, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of CHemicals) was unanimously adopted by the EU Parliament and came into force on the 1st June, 2007.
Canda International assists manufacturers, importers and downstream users of paper chemicals to be prepared and aware of the impact this new legislation will have on their business. Support would be tailored to your needs: from an initial awareness session through to developing a strategy for compliance and helping to identify the service and support you will need - data searching, risk assessments, testing, preparation of reports etc.
Where next with REACH?
Now: REACH regulation is in force. Time for EU manufaturers and importers to collect available information; locate other relevant information holders; consider consortia; and share information.
June 2008: European Chemicals Agency becomes operational and the pre-registration phase starts. For substances > 10 metric tonnes carry out a chemical safety assessment (CSA) and write the chemical safety report (CSR). Communicate down the supply chain. Registration timescales depend on the tonnage or whether the substance is of very high concern (SVHC).
Dec 2010: Submission of dossiers and CSRs via IUCLID 5 (submission software available in June 2007) for: 1. Substances of very high concern and classed as CMR, PBT and vPvB, and 2. Substances produced or imported in quantities above 1,000 tonnes.
Dec 2013: Submission of dossiers and CSRs for: Substances produced or imported in quantities between 100 and 1,000 tonnes.
June 2018: Registration phase closes with submission dossiers and CSRs required for substances produced in smaller quantities (>1 metric tonne).
