What is REACH and which regulation does it come from?

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is a comprehensive regulation to ensure the safe use of chemicals in the EU. Its main framework is regulated by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Key components of REACH: • Registration: Mandatory registration for substances ≥1 ton/year • Evaluation: Substance evaluation by ECHA • Authorisation: Authorisation process for substances of very high concern (SVHC) • Restriction: Use restrictions for certain substances • Only Representative (OR): OR service for non-EU manufacturers • SIEF: Joint registration groups for the same substance

Which substances are in REACH scope?

REACH covers chemical substances manufactured or imported in the EU: • Standalone substances: ≥1 ton/year • Substances in mixtures: Based on substance tonnage in mixture • Substances in articles: Notification for articles containing SVHC • Imported substances: OR requirement for non-EU manufacturers Pier Compliance screens your portfolio for REACH scope and performs tonnage/role analysis.

REACH registration strategy and process management

REACH registration process requires comprehensive strategy and process management: • Scope analysis: Substance/mixture/article, tonnage and role identification • Data gap analysis: Identification of existing data and data gaps • Testing plan: Required tests and alternative data methods • Technical dossier preparation: CSR (Chemical Safety Report) and technical documentation • Registration submission: Submission of registration dossier to ECHA Pier Compliance manages your REACH registration process end-to-end.

Only Representative (OR) service and ECHA process management

Only Representative (OR) service for non-EU manufacturers is a critical component for REACH compliance: • OR appointment: Appointment of OR established in the EU • ECHA process management: Registration, notification and communication processes • Supply chain obligations: Communication with EU customers • SDS/CLP compliance: Safety data sheet and labeling Pier Compliance provides OR service and ECHA process management.

SIEF/Joint Submission coordination and technical dossier preparation

SIEF (Substance Information Exchange Forum) coordinates joint registration groups for the same substance: • SIEF membership: Participation in SIEF for the same substance • Joint Submission: Preparation of joint registration dossier • Data sharing: Sharing of test data and cost distribution • Lead registrant: Coordination with lead registrant • Technical dossier: Preparation of CSR and technical documentation Pier Compliance manages SIEF coordination and technical dossier preparation.

SDS & CLP compliance and audit readiness

REACH compliance requires SDS/CLP compliance and audit readiness: • SDS compliance: Reflection of REACH registration information in SDS • CLP compliance: Classification and labeling requirements • Supply chain communication: Sharing REACH information with customers • Audit readiness: Registration dossier, evidence package and internal control checklists • Continuous updates: Tracking REACH changes Pier Compliance manages your SDS/CLP compliance and audit readiness.
