How to register for the REACH chemical test in the European Union? If you are a chemical manufacturer who wants to export goods to the EU, then you need to understand the EU REACH regulations. REACH is the abbreviation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, meaning the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals. This regulation came into effect on December 1, 2007, aiming to protect human health and the environment, and promote the sustainable development of chemicals.


The REACH regulation requires all chemicals sold in the EU market to be registered. The registration process requires chemical testing to assess the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment. This article will introduce the process for handling REACH chemical testing in the European Union.


1. Determine the registration type of chemicals

According to the use and production capacity of chemicals, there are three types of registration for chemicals: standard registration, simplified registration, and incremental registration. Standard registration is applicable to the annual production or import of 1000 tons or more of chemicals; Simplified registration is applicable to the production or import of 1 ton or more but less than 1000 tons of chemicals per year; Incremental registration is applicable to the production or import of less than 1 ton of chemicals per year.

2. Determine the scope of chemical testing

Determine which chemical tests are required based on the characteristics and uses of the chemicals. Chemical testing includes physical and chemical property testing, toxicity testing, ecological toxicity testing, etc. The test results will be used to evaluate the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment.


3. Select testing agency

Select a testing agency (DeZewei) that meets the requirements of the EU REACH regulations for chemical testing. Testing institutions need to have relevant qualifications and experience, and be able to provide accurate and reliable testing results.

4. Submit registration application

Fill in and submit a registration application based on the registration type and test results of the chemical. The registration application needs to include basic information about the chemical, test results, safety data sheets, etc. Registration applications need to be submitted online on the website of the European Chemical Administration (ECHA).


5. Review registration application

ECHA will review the registration application and decide whether to approve the registration based on the test results and the characteristics of the chemical. If the registration is approved, the chemical will be granted a sales license within the EU.

summary

The EU REACH chemical testing is a regulation that chemical manufacturers and importers must comply with. The purpose of chemical testing is to evaluate the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment, protect human health and the environment, and promote the sustainable development of chemicals. Chemical testing needs to be conducted by a testing institution that meets the requirements of the EU REACH regulation, and the test results will be used to fill out the registration application. The registration application needs to be submitted online on the ECHA website and reviewed before obtaining a sales license.
