REACH
What is REACH?
REACH is a new European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals. It came into force on 1st June 2007 and replaces a number of European Directives and Regulations with a single system.
Aims
REACH has several aims:
- To provide a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the use of chemicals
- To make the people who place chemicals on the market (manufacturers and importers) responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with their use
- To allow the free movement of substances on the EU market
- To enhance innovation in and the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry
- To promote the use of alternative methods for the assessment of the hazardous properties of substances
Statement of Intent
- COBA understand our obligations under REACH
- COBA have identified a senior manager responsible for REACH
- The single point of contact to customers is via REACH@cobaeurope.com
- COBA have established a formal company structure for managing REACH
- COBA have established an inventory for substances, preparations and articles used in our business
- COBA will notify our customer(s) of product(s) supplied for which there are substances that are not intended to be pre-registered
- COBA intends that all substances in the products we supply to you, which require registration, will be pre-registered by us or an actor further up our supply chain
- By 30 November 2008, COBA will send customers a list of all “products” that contain substances likely to be included in the candidate list (Article 57)
