REACH Testing

REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is near adoption and begin enforcement on 1 June 2007. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) expects manufacturers and importers of 1 tonne or more of any chemical substance to begin pre-registration near 1 June 2008. Once in force, REACH will require the registration, over a period of 11 years of at least 30,000 chemical substances currently in use today, a process which will allow to fill information gaps on the hazards of substances and to identify appropriate risk management measures to ensure their safe use.

Springborn Smithers Laboratories is poised to begin consulting, risk assessment and dossier preparation, and physical chemical and environmental fate and effect testing for your REACH testing needs. For more information regarding the REACH please click on the links below:
