What is REACH (EC 1907/2006)?

REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. It is the comprehensive EU regulation governing chemical safety. This legislation aims to protect human health and the environment by managing the risks associated with chemicals. Compliance is mandatory for companies that manufacture, import, or sell products within the European Union. Our testing services are essential for ensuring your products meet these legal and safety standards.
