Simplify your REACH compliance in preparation for the 2018 deadline
The European Union’s REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemical Substances – EC1907/2006) is mandatory for the continued sale of chemicals and products into the European Union. In fact, many U.S. chemical manufacturers state that it is the largest EU trade barrier they encounter. Following the June 1, 2013 deadline for registration of phase-in substances >100 tonnes/annum the next deadline will be June 1, 2018 for registration of phase-in substances >1 tonne/annum. Failure to register will result in non-compliance, which instantly jeopardizes the manufacturers or importers trading position within the EU. Companies are advised to make an early start with their activities against the next deadline to give themselves the best chance of ensuring compliance.
To help simplify your REACH compliance we have developed a complimentary webinar series, which was delivered throughout April-May, 2016, to help you understand and prepare for the 2018 deadline. Don't miss the chance to gain valuable insight into everything that must be considered when developing a compliance plan to ensure streamlined market access. If you were unable to attend the live sessions, the recordings have been made available for download.

| REACH Substance Identification: Managing Analytical Data Requirements The Registration phase of the European Union’s REACH Regulation (EC1907/2006) requires the identification and naming of two main groups of substances: Well defined and UVCB substances. The ECHA guidelines state that registrants should collect sufficient analytical data to confirm the structure of their substance and to use suitable methods to verify composition and purity to ensure compliance to the upcoming 2018 deadline. Join us for a free webinar to learn more about: Analytical services which provide complete REACH testing and characterization solutions; Selecting appropriate test suites; Managing supplier substances; ECHA correspondence on analytical data; and timing to ensure you are ready for June 1, 2018 Presented by: Jean Baldwin, Ph.D, Business Development Associate, Intertek Chemical and Pharmaceutical Services | View Recording | May 4, 2016 |
| REACH 2018 Planning for Non-EU Companies Companies need to assess their chemical products, their business models and the logistics of their distribution activities to develop a compliance strategy based on their own specific requirements under the REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006). This webinar will help non-EU companies define their associated entities as ‘importer’, ‘manufacturer’, or ‘downstream user’ per the REACH Regulation definitions and outline the required and recommended actions for consideration to ensure uninterrupted business in the European Community without infringing upon the REACH regulations. The discussion will include guidance for understanding the role of the Only Representative (OR), as well as the steps associated with appointing an OR, and will provide an overview of the role and impact of the Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF).

| REACH Supply Chain Coverage REACH requires registration of substances imported into Europe in quantities of one tonne or more per year by European importers. Although not legally required to do so, more North American companies are taking on the responsibility and relieving their European customers either through only representation or supply chain coverage. This webinar will focus on supply chain coverage by outlining the reporting requirements needed to properly obtain coverage through your supplier’s only representative as well as a summary of the necessary documentation to be made available for enforcement purposes. Find out this and more to ensure products covered through your North American supply chain are REACH compliant when entering Europe.
