REACH will impact your company:

Registration,Evaluation,Authorization,(and restriction) of CHemicals

Poses a threat to any company doing business with EU
Importing and exporting of substances to and from the EU
Producers to proof safety and manage risks of substances through registration
Need to understand business implications and gain competitive edge through strategic plans
(Pre) Registration of substances
Phase-out and Phase-in of substances during product development cycle to minimize cost
Substances of Very High Concerns:
Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, Toxic for reproduction (CMR)
Persistent, Bio-accumulative, Toxic (PBT, vPvB)

Re: What's REACH Criteria or Demand ?

It is a technical distinction but the onus is on the user of the chemicals to register chemicals. In practice if anyone is importing chemicals into the EU they are going to pass a lot of the burden on to their suppliers. But at the end of the process it is trhe user that registers the chemical.

Why the EU market is getting so regulated? :confused:
Official reason for implementation of REACH :

- Protection of humans against effects of chemicals
- Protection of the environment against...
- Reduce the number of tests on animals.

The clock is ticking because this year ( before Dec 1st 2008 ) all substances used must be pre-registered at ECHA ( European Chemicals Agency ).

This year a " candidate list " with SVHC's ( Substances of Very High Concern )will be distributed ( planned Sept 2008 ). These are the ones that are ( will be ) subject for substitution, authorisation ( and in the end rejection ).

Best regards,

Antoine

...this seems to be a very good regulation they’ll implement… I hope, it’ll be adopted internationally…

If your automotive and even if your not, the AIG document is a must. It is very thorough with decision trees etc.. to help you figure out your obligations.

I was at a seminar last week and the commitments are very much dependant on a few situational circumstances.
