Managing REACH!

REACH is the European Union’s chemical regulation that became effective throughout the EU in June 2007.

With Registration Phases I and II behind us, it is now time to tackle Phase III registrations of substances being manufactured in or imported into the EU at tonnage bands of 1 – 10 tpa and 10 – 100 tpa. The deadline for these registrations is May 31st 2018. Are you ready?

Existing registrations require updating on a regular basis to adjust for increasing scientific knowledge, changes in the regulation and/or ECHA guidance documentation. Manufacturers, users and importers of chemical substances are all required to comply with the REACH regulation.

To this day, we have developed REACH registration dossiers for over 175 chemicals. We also manage and consult various REACH chemicals consortia on technical and regulatory matters as well as representing a number of multinational and medium-sized companies in REACH technical advisory groups. Through our scalable team set-up of experienced consultants and research analysts, we combine REACH regulatory, (eco)toxicology and project management expertise with the capacity for high volume data and information management in a cost-efficient manner.
