1、 Introduction to REACH Certification

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. This is the EU regulation on the preventive management of all chemicals entering its market, which was officially implemented on June 1, 2007. This is a regulatory proposal involving the safety of chemical production, trade, and use. The regulation aims to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry, develop innovative capabilities for non-toxic and harmless compounds, prevent market fragmentation, increase transparency in chemical use, promote non animal experimentation, and pursue sustainable social development. The REACH directive requires that all chemicals imported and produced within Europe must go through a comprehensive process of registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction to better and more easily identify the composition of the chemicals in order to ensure environmental and human safety. This directive mainly includes several major contents such as registration, evaluation, authorization, and restrictions.

2、 The purpose of REACH certification:

Protecting human health and the environment; Maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry; Increase the transparency of chemical information; Reduce vertebrate experimentation; Consistent with the international obligations of the European Union under the WTO framework. In essence, the REACH regulation will promote innovation in the chemical industry, enabling it to produce safer products, stimulating competition and growth. Unlike the current complex regulatory system, REACH will create a unified chemical management system within the EU, enabling companies to produce new chemicals and their products following the same principles.

3、 The content of REACH certification:

All chemical substances with an annual production or import volume exceeding 1 ton need to be registered, and chemical substances with an annual production or import volume of more than 10 tons should also submit a chemical safety report.

Evaluation includes both archival evaluation and material evaluation. Archive evaluation is to verify the completeness and consistency of the registration files submitted by enterprises. Material assessment refers to the confirmation of the risk of chemical substances to human health and the environment.

Authorization authorizes the production and import of chemical substances with certain hazardous characteristics that are highly valued by people, including CMR, PBT, vPvB, etc.

Restriction: If it is believed that the manufacturing, placing on the market, or use of a substance or its preparations or products poses a risk to human health and the environment that cannot be fully controlled, its production or import within the European Union will be restricted. Note: PBT persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxic chemicals vPvB high persistence, high bioaccumulation chemicals CMR carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and biotoxicity substances.

4、 The testing process for REACH certification:

1、 Fill out the REACH testing application form and send it to our company along with the sample, or send the sample (including the REACH testing application form) to our company through a courier company.

2、 When sending samples, the testing fee shall be paid. If the samples are delivered to our company by express delivery, the relevant personnel will first fax the payment notice to the customer. The customer shall transfer the testing fee to our company's account and fax the remittance voucher to our company for record keeping. After we confirm receipt of the testing fee, we will arrange for testing.

3、 After the testing is completed, laboratory personnel will first send a PDF electronic version of the report to your company. Customers who apply for a paper report will then process it according to the report retrieval method selected by the customer on the application form.

4、 Our company's working hours are from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm.
