What is REACH detection? REACH detection notification

REACH testing is the abbreviation of the EU regulation REGULATION CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION, EVALUATION, AUTHORIZATION AND RESTRICTION OF CHEMICALS. It is a chemical regulatory system established by the EU and implemented on June 1, 2007.

This is a regulatory proposal involving the production, trade and use safety of chemicals. The purpose of the regulation is to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and improve the competitiveness of the European Union chemical industry, as well as the innovative ability to develop non-toxic and harmless compounds, prevent market fragmentation, increase the transparency of the use of chemicals, promote non-animal experiments, and pursue social sustainable development. REACH has established the idea that society should not introduce new materials, products or technologies if their potential hazards are uncertain.

REACH detection notification

The candidate list in Annex XIV of REACH Regulation is the SVHC list. REACH Regulation stipulates that the manufacturer or importer of substances of high concern (SVHC) that meet the following two conditions shall notify ECHA:

● The total content of SVHC substances in the article exceeds 1 t/y/manufacturer or importer;

● The total content of SVHC in the article exceeds 0.1% by mass fraction.

Why SVHC notification

The EU implements REACH regulations on products circulating in China. The products in the EU must fulfill the obligations of REACH regulations before they can be legally produced or imported. Countries have adopted strict supervision and punishment measures for REACH legislation. EU customs can conduct REACH compliance review. If the REACH regulations are violated, they will face product recall, fines and even imprisonment.

Responsibilities and obligations of enterprises

·When selling as a substance, it is necessary to provide SDS (safety data sheet) to downstream users.

·As a substance in the mixture (preparation), when the content of this substance is ≥ 0.1%, SDS needs to be provided to downstream users.

·When the SVHC mass percentage in the article is more than 0.1%, the recipient of the article or the consumer must be provided with sufficient information available free of charge within 45 days, including the name of the substance and its content.

·For SVHC listed before December 1, 2010, if the mass percentage concentration in the article is more than 0.1% and the total amount is more than 1 ton/year, the obligation to notify ECHA must be completed on June 1, 2011. SVHC listed after December 1, 2010, if meeting the notification conditions, must complete the notification within 6 months after listing.

limit

If the product contains any restricted substances, which are listed in Annex XVII of the Regulation, it must be used according to the restricted conditions. The restricted methods include use restrictions and dosage restrictions.
