Comprehensive services for raw material suppliers affected by
REACH
The REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of
Chemicals - No. 1907/2006) places compliance requirements on companies
importing and refining raw materials in the EU. The obligations placed on
suppliers of raw materials (e.g. metals, alloys, oils, and a range of other
substances) by REACH are complicated by the large volume, the global supply
chains, and the chemical complexity of raw materials sold in Europe.
“REACH considers metals as substances and, therefore, all metals must
be registered and assessed… Under REACH, alloys are considered as
preparations, in other words, mixtures of metals that have the
toxicological properties of their components.”
