REACHKonformität

REACH Konformität refers to compliance with the European Union's REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals). This regulation aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. Companies that manufacture or import chemical substances into the EU or European Economic Area in quantities of one tonne or more per year must register these substances with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

The registration process involves submitting a dossier containing information on the properties and uses of the substance, as well as its potential risks. Depending on the volume and hazard of the substance, further evaluations, authorizations for specific uses, or restrictions on certain applications may be required. Non-compliance with REACH can lead to significant penalties, including market exclusion. Therefore, ensuring REACH Konformität is crucial for businesses operating within the EU chemical market. This involves understanding the specific obligations for each chemical and implementing the necessary measures to meet them, often requiring collaboration across the supply chain.
