Chemicals management in accordance with REACH
Chemicals management in accordance with REACH
Our chemicals management is based on the European chemicals Regulation REACH (EC Regulation Number 1907/2006). This stands for "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals”. It regulates the four above processes,Thereby protecting people and the environment from risks that may be associated with chemicals. In practice, this means that any substance of which more than 1 tonne is produced in or imported into the EU must be registered with the European Chemicals Agency by 2018 at the latest.
We comply with REACH
We take all the necessary steps to meet the requirements of REACH. Our products, for example, do not contain any substances which are classed as particular causes for concern by the European Chemicals Agency and which appear on the SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) list. Although we do not expect that substances we use will be added to the list in future, we will inform you immediately if this does prove to be the case, in accordance with Article 33 of the REACH Regulation.
