REACH

REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances. The new law entered into force on 1 June 2007.

The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, innovative capability and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.

REACH has significant implications for both Kemfast and its customer base. We have been working behind the scenes to provide a series of webinars with the purpose of providing a high level review of REACH aimed at helping our customers facilitate compliance to REACH.

All those interested in attenting one of these events should register their interest with Paula Schiavo at HAAS tcm. All requests need to be received by the 7th of March 2008. These Webinars are scheduled for March and April 2008.
