| REACH | 30-May-08 |
| REACH is the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substance. It came in force in 2007 with the transitional pre-registration period of June 2008 to December 2008. This pre-registration period allows manufacturers and importers of chemical substances to submit a summary dossier to ECHA, the governing body (European CHemicals Agency). After this transitional period, complete registration will begin with variable deadlines depending on tonnage. 1 - 10 Ton 31st May 2018 10 - 100 Ton 31st May 2018 100 - 1000 Ton 31st May 2013 > 1000 Ton 30th Nov 2010 The majority of products supplied are preparations which are exempt under REACH as long as each constituent substance has an EINECS# and is pre-registered. AmegA Sciences Plc is communicating with all of its suppliers to ensure all raw materials are pre-registered so as to not disrupt product manufacture. All synthesised substances (in excess of 1 Ton per annum) will be pre-registered and registered accordingly. You will either be a Downstream User or Distributor as defined by REACH and thus have no legal obligation to pre-register. During the course of registration, we will be contacting our customers to ascertain exposure scenarios and usage. For more information on REACH, visit http://echa.europa.eu/home_en.asp | |
