REACH Is Here! Where Are You in the Process?
REACH has arrived. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation and
Authorization of CHemicals. REACH is touching every company in the
personal care industry that manufactures or sells raw materials or
finished goods that are imported into Europe. How much do you know about
REACH? REACH applies to all existing chemicals that have been
registered on the EINECS inventory prior to September 1981, and to any
new substances manufactured for the first time in the future.
Pre-registration opened June 1, 2008 and closes Nov. 30, 2008. Companies
are required to pre-register all substances produced or imported into
the European Union in volumes of one ton or more per year. Do you know
what you have to do to be in the game and to be able to continue to sell
your materials or products in Europe after December 2008?
