REACH Regulations – How do they affect you?

No matter what industry that you operate within, the REACh regulations have an impact on your business and TÜV Product Service can help you to manage it.

REACh deals with the registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals and replaces many previous laws governing the use of chemicals.  It is intended to provide protection of human health and the environment and its primary function is to gradually phase out those chemicals which are Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, Toxic and those that are persistent in the environment. 

Many people think REACh applies only to chemical manufacturers, but this is not so.  There are implications of REACH right across the supply chain from manufacturers to downstream users. As a business you have a responsibility to know, control and be able to trace the origins of the chemicals that are found in your products.

TÜV Product Service is part of the TÜV SÜD Group who provide a complete range of REACh solutions across a global network, including consulting, chemical testing, documentation assessments and supplier audits.
