REACH by Intertek |
Anticipating and achieving the requirements of the 'chemical directive' for the chemical and electronics industries |
|
|
|
|
REACH is one of the most comprehensive and far-reaching pieces of environmental legislation to come out of the European Union. Compliance with REACH is mandatory for continued sales of chemicals and products in the European Union. Over 30,000 chemicals are expected to fall under the scope of the REACH directive, and require that manufacturers, importers and distributors of substances, preparations and articles fulfill REACH obligations. The question is not ‘if’ REACH will affect a company, the questions are ‘when’ and ‘how’ REACH will affect a company.
Intertek provides comprehensive logistical, operational, consulting, and engineering solutions for REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) compliance. Working with clients and the European Union REACH registrar, Intertek provides a single-source solution for meeting the registration and documentation requirements of the REACH Regulation. |
