Support for Industries to Stay Compliant with REACH Regulations

Industries have the responsibility to assess the risks posed by the chemical substances they use and to provide their customers with the necessary information.

 

REACH Regulation

(Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals)

REACH is a complex regulation aimed at ensuring the safety of chemical products throughout their lifecycle. This includes their manufacture, importation, use, and disposal.

One of the main obligations under REACH is the registration of chemical substances, which means companies must provide data on the properties and risks of the chemicals they produce or import.

This European Union regulation has revolutionized the management of chemical products in Europe and has significant implications for our demands in chemical analysis laboratories.

The watch list of products is updated on a multi-annual basis and evolves rapidly according to the toxicological evaluation of products requiring increasing vigilance.

To maintain compliance and the quality of results, we develop new methods and partnerships and adhere to strict standards such as ISO9001 and ISO17025.

• ISO9001: Quality Management: ISO9001 is a quality management standard aimed at ensuring that chemical analysis laboratories operate efficiently and consistently in providing services. This includes implementing documented procedures to ensure the quality of results, customer satisfaction, and efficient resource management.

• ISO17025: Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories: ISO17025 is a specific standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It sets requirements for technical competence, quality management, measurement traceability, and quality assurance. For chemical analysis laboratories, this standard is crucial to demonstrate their ability to produce reliable and accurate results.

Our Services

• Registration of Chemical Substances: Providing data on the chemical substances used in various industries. Collecting data on the properties and risks of chemicals, necessary for registration in compliance with REACH. Import and export of products are subject to regulation (for more information, you can visit the ECHA website).

• Authorisation and Restriction: Certain chemicals, identified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), may be subject to restrictions or special authorization under REACH. We evaluate safer alternatives to these substances or monitor their use in accordance with special authorizations.

• Verification and Control of Raw Materials and Finished Products: We verify input data (technical sheets, safety data sheets, certificates of analysis, and test reports) as well as the absence of regulated products depending on the matrix of your material (heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, traces, and ultratraces).

• Interventions in the Event of Disputes or Following Customs Inspections: Our judicial experts are mandated to determine the origins of issues in amicable or judicial disputes.

• Certification & Label: We are a privileged partner of TUV for BIOBASED product certifications. Contact us for more information on this labeling.
