Understanding REACH Regulation

The REACH directive, which the European Union enforced, aims to safeguard human health and the environment from hazards posed by chemical substances. The regulation requires businesses to recognize and control the risk posed to substances they produce and sell in the EU. The comprehensive regulations include registering and evaluating Authorisations, Registration, and Restriction of Chemicals.

Registration

In REACH, producers and importers must collect information regarding the properties and functions of substances they create or import in amounts greater than one ton annually. These data are required to be registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The registration process includes filing to ECHA a dossier on technical aspects as well as, at times, an informational report on the safety of chemicals.

Evaluation

When a substance has been declared registered, it is subject to an evaluation procedure. The ECHA and the states that are members examine the data companies submit for compliance and determine those substances requiring more scrutiny. This process helps assess the risks of the substance and determine if more information is needed.

Authorization

Certain substances classified as highly concerned (SVHC) must undergo an authorization procedure. Businesses must seek the right to continue using the substances to prove that risks are properly managed or that the socioeconomic positives outweigh any risks.

 

Restriction

The restriction process aims to stop or limit the manufacture, placing in the marketplace, or utilizing substances that pose a risk to human health or the natural environment. It can be as simple as limiting the concentration of a substance or banning specific applications of a substance.

Substance Identification and Quantification

A precise method of identifying and quantifying chemical compounds is vital in the registration procedure for REACH. METS Lab employs advanced analytical techniques, like gas chromatography-mass spectrum spectrometry (GC-MS) and HPLC, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for determining the precise chemical composition of compounds. Our skilled chemists will ensure each substance is recognized and quantified, providing a solid registration basis.

Knowing the risks that chemical substances pose is vital to complying with REACH. METS Lab offers a range of ecotoxicological as well as toxicological services that assess the effect of chemical substances on human well-being and the natural environment. We provide toxicology tests that are both chronic and acute, as well as bioaccumulation research studies and environmental fate studies. By giving complete hazard information, we help our customers make educated decisions regarding how to use their products.

Client-Centric Approach

METS Lab supports companies in carrying out exposure assessments as well as risk analysis to determine the risks that could be related to chemical substances. Our specialists use the most advanced modelling instruments and exposure scenarios to calculate the amount of exposure to various groups and environmental conditions. After that, we perform a risk assessment to assess if the risk is adequately managed to ensure they comply with REACH regulations.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Preparation

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are crucial documents that provide details on the characteristics of chemicals, their dangers, and safe handling methods. METS Lab assists clients in making complete and robust SDS that meet REACH standards. Our staff ensures that pertinent information is presented accurately to help companies convey all necessary safety information to their employees.
