Reach

REACH (EC/1907/2006) is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use, in force since 2007. REACH is a regulation and therefore directly applicable throughout all EU Member States. It does not require transposition into national laws of Member States.

All undertakings that manufacture, import, distribute, or use a substance as such, in a mixture or an article, are affected by the provisions of REACH. Although the focus is primarily on substances, there are also certain obligations with respect to articles. Because obligations depend on the role of a company, it is important to determine if one is considered a manufacturer, producer, importer or downstream user in the terminology of REACH.

Safecaps comply with the restrictions laid down in REACH.
