REACH
The REACH system is a system of chemicals based on compulsory registration of chemical substances, the assessment of technical documentation and assessment of substance, permitting the use of substances for the production and marketing, as well as establishing the European Chemicals Agency based in Helsinki, Finland.
Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and the present European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is not only chemical but also many other industries have often indirect contact with chemicals such as textiles, mining, tobacco industry, paper industry, plastics industry, construction industry, automotive industry, pharmaceutical industry, defense industry, as well: power electronics, office supplies, detergents, cosmetics, laboratory reagents, toys, paints and varnishes, dyes and many others.
The basic elements of the REACH system, on which the entire procedure are:
Registration under REACH (pre-registration and registration proper) – each manufacturer or importer of a substance on its own or in one or more preparations or substances in articles in quantities of 1 tonne per year, is obliged to register the substance to ECHA .
From 1 December 2008, registered substances can neither be produced in the EU or imported into its territory.
Permissions and restrictions – REACH introduces a special procedure for authorizing the use of certain substances such as very high concern (ie substances classified as CMR) and a number of restrictions on production, marketing and use of certain substances (Annex XVII).
