REACH compliance management
Under the REACH Regulation, the industry has a responsibility to identify and manage the risks associated with the chemicals they manufacture and market in the EU.
Manufacturers and importers of substances in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year need to gather information on substance properties and uses, make an assessment of hazards and potential risks and submit a registration dossier to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) demonstrating that any risks are adequately controlled. Failure to register within the required timescales means that the substance will no longer be allowed to be manufactured or imported until compliance is achieved.
From May 2018, phase-in substances manufactured or imported in the EU in quantities of 1-100 tonnes or more per year must be registered. REACH places a significant burden on industry and presents numerous challenges, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may not have the resources available to meet registration requirements.
