What’s essential, what isn’t, what do I need to do right now?

Every product manufactured and brought to market in Europe is, in some way, affected by European chemicals regulations. This is now enforced by the REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals).

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Am I responsible for REACH compliance in the supply chain?
• How are my products affected?
• What are my responsibilities to my customers?
• How do I identify which materials may contain harmful chemicals?
• What steps can I take to control chemicals in my products?
• How is REACH enforced?
• What do I need to do right now?

When SATRA first looked at REACH, it discovered that the implications were more far reaching than its customers thought.

SATRA found that many suppliers, manufacturers, importers and retailers were not fully aware of all REACH requirements and the implications for their products. There is a wealth of information out there but often it makes the Regulation more confusing for the business man or woman who just wants to know the essentials: am I responsible, how am I responsible, what do I need to do for the least cost and effort?

SATRA fills a need for an expert partner to unpack the essentials of REACH and offer it to businesses within the supply chain as part of a practical programme:

• Seminars
• Practical workshops
• Appropriate product testing
• Advice on bringing compliant product to market
• Company-specific consultancy and ongoing support
