I. Introduction to REACH Certification

"Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals; Registration, Evaluation, Licensing and Restriction of chemicals ". This is the European Union regulation for the preventive management of all chemicals entering its market, which came into force on 1 June 2007. It is a proposal for a regulation on the safety of the production, trade and use of chemicals. The regulation aims to protect human health and the safety of the environment, maintain and improve the competitiveness of the chemical industry in the EU, as well as the innovative capacity to research and develop non-toxic and harmless compounds, prevent market fragmentation, increase transparency in the use of chemicals, promote non-animal experiments and pursue sustainable social development. The REACH directive requires that all chemicals imported and produced in Europe must go through a comprehensive set of procedures, including registration, assessment, authorization and restriction, in order to better and simpler identification of chemical ingredients in order to ensure the environmental and human safety. The directive mainly includes registration, evaluation, authorization, restrictions and other major contents.

Ii. Purpose of REACH Certification:

Protection of human health and the environment; Maintaining and enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry; Increase the transparency of chemical information; Reduction of vertebrate testing; Consistent with the EU's international obligations under the WTO framework. In a substantial sense, the REACH regulation will promote innovation in the chemical industry, enabling it to produce safer products and stimulating competition and growth. Unlike the current complex system of regulations, REACH will create a unified chemical management system across the European Union, enabling companies to produce new chemicals and their products following the same principles.

Iii. Contents of REACH Certification:

Registration is required for all chemicals with an annual output or import of more than 1 ton. Chemical safety reports should also be submitted for chemicals with an annual output or import of more than 10 tons.

Evaluation includes archival evaluation and material evaluation. File evaluation is to check the integrity and consistency of the registration files submitted by enterprises. Substance assessment refers to the identification of a chemical substance's risk to human health and the environment.

Authorization Authorizes the production and import of chemical substances with certain dangerous characteristics that have aroused people's high attention, including CMR, PBT, vPvB, etc.

Restriction The restriction of the production or import of a certain substance or its configuration or products within the EU if it is deemed that the manufacturing, placing on the market or use of such substances causes risks to human health and the environment that cannot be adequately controlled. Note: PBT persistence, bioaccumulation and toxic chemicals High persistence vPvB, highly bioaccumulation chemicals CMR carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and biotoxicity.
