REACH Regulation Certificate

REACH REGULATION
Number: Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
Official Title: Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)

REACH stands for:

  • Registration: Chemical producers are required to register safety data for all chemicals produced.
  • Evaluation: Experts from member states and the European Agency evaluate safety data for higher volume chemicals and other chemicals of concern.
  • Authorization: Chemicals of “very high concern” must be phased out and replaced with safer alternatives.
  • Restriction: Certain chemicals may be banned or have their usage limited.

This EU regulation addresses the production and use of chemical substances and their potential impact on human health and the environment. All companies manufacturing or importing chemical substances into the EU in quantities of one tonne or more per year must register with the European Chemical Agency (ECHA).

Objectives of REACH

  • Ensure high protection of human health and the environment from chemical risks.
  • Promote alternative hazard assessment methods.
  • Support the free circulation of substances on the internal market.
  • Enhance competitiveness and innovation.
  • Make industry responsible for risk assessment and safety communication.

Which Products Are Covered?

REACH applies to all chemical substances, including those used in production processes (e.g. paints, solvents, cleaning agents), and those used in finished products. Substances of very high concern include:

  • Carcinogens
  • Mutagens
  • Reproductive toxins
  • Persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances

How to Comply with REACH

  • Gather information on properties and uses of substances (≥1 tonne/year).
  • Submit a registration dossier to ECHA, including hazard and risk data.
  • Perform joint registration for the same substances (one substance, one registration).
  • Provide analytical and spectral information to confirm identity.
  • Certain substances (e.g. medicines, radioactive materials) may be exempt from REACH.
