REACHtietojen

REACHtietojen is a term that refers to information related to REACH, the European Union's Regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. This regulation aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. REACHtietojen encompasses all the data and documentation required under this regulation.

Key aspects of REACHtietojen include registration dossiers, which contain information on the properties, uses, and safe handling of chemical substances manufactured or imported into the EU in quantities of one tonne or more per year. This information is submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Evaluation processes, also part of REACHtietojen, involve ECHA and Member States scrutinizing the submitted data to clarify any concerns about risks posed by chemicals.

Authorisation is another critical component. For substances of very high concern (SVHCs), REACHtietojen includes applications for authorisation, detailing why a particular use of an SVHC is necessary and how risks are controlled. Restrictions, on the other hand, limit or ban the manufacture, placing on the market, or use of certain dangerous substances. Information related to these restrictions is also considered REACHtietojen. Ultimately, REACHtietojen serves to ensure that chemicals are managed safely throughout their lifecycle, promoting transparency and informed decision-making within the chemical industry and regulatory bodies.
