REACH is the EU regulations "Chemical Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction" (REGULATION concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) in short, is the European Union on access to their markets for preventive management of all chemicals regulations.

About REACH regulations:

1, within the EU, in the manufacture, import volume of more than 1 ton of chemical substances harmful to them, use and so to register new chemical substances and 30,000 kinds of chemicals are all existing registered object.

2, the existing chemical substances harmful high production volume substances will first be registered.

3, the items included in the management of chemical substances contained in Requirements:

The content of articles in more than 1 ton, in the general application of the material intended to be released under the conditions to be registered.

Although there is no intention to release the item types, but the chemical content of the high interest in 1 ton / year or more and the content of the articles to declare more than 0.1%.

Polymer required to register, but the monomer to form the polymer to be registered.

REACH regulations in any case registered a single substance, in principle, on the preparations to be registered by components of the polymer can be exempted from registration, but requires registration of its monomer.

Existing Chemical Substances in wide circulation and marketing, in order to avoid restrictions on the use of its resulting economic chaos, setting the stage used by the implementation of REACH, substances up step by step approach.

In addition to registration, the relevant personal and business current well as some of the "prohibited" material. REACH regulations for certain hazardous substances, preparations and articles in the manufacture, placing on the market and use has been limited to the list of REACH regulations and will continue to improve. When the product contains the list of substances, the need to comply with REACH requirements.

REACH regulation the main application

By REACH regulations, only three categories of persons can submit applications for registration: (1) EU manufacturers (in the EU countries to settle and create substances natural or legal person). (2) EU importers (to settle in the EU and imports natural or legal person responsible). (3) non-EU manufacturers designated settlement within the EU "only representative.

REACH program should:

Here are the soft filling Plastic Toy, Intelligence Toy, Plastic Building Block enterprises encounter REACH related issues:

Question: When guests ask us to issue / offer of a meet REACH requirements documents, how do we do?

Response: When the company exports to the EU REACH framework is finished, through, and their upstream suppliers to contact, list all present in the finished product in total exports is greater than or equal to 1 ton / year of material, and to determine whether under normal or reasonably foreseeable circumstances will be released. while the control REACH regulation, to determine whether the product contains substances in the REACH regulatory framework provided under the high-interest material. When the product contains substances of high concern, you need to explain to the importer, and discuss and decide who is responsible for notification to the European Chemicals Agency.

Specific process is as follows:

The first step: to test the method to find the REACH regulatory constraints placed on the market or use of hazardous substances; by raw material suppliers, tracking the chemical composition of raw materials, with limited understanding of whether the incoming high-injection substance use harmful substances.

Step Two: When the products, parts contain restrictions on the use of substances and substances of high concern, the next step how to do that?

To Burongwanju general product, for example, the following components, materials likely to contain restrictions on the use of substances and substances of high concern are:

Textiles: no harmful dyes and non-aromatic amines, non-carcinogenic dye itself, sensitization, acute toxicity, the use of formaldehyde and heavy metals can be extracted in a restricted amount of the following, without AZO, non-persistent organic pollutants, not will produce chemicals that pollute the environment, better than to disable the use of staining dyes. as a response to REACH the dyeing process used should also be taken to avoid staining with APEO dispersant.

Plastic: PVC and PU material, especially, restrict the use of banned plasticizer content may be we are not sure that our products contain components of the chemical composition, in this case, it should require suppliers to help provide the following information:

Materials / Parts List (BOM) - a product, a detailed list of the list of components, including the composition of all components (products, including textiles, plastics, glue, paint, wood and other materials.)

Each material / components within the list of ingredients (BOS) - A list of detailed list of chemical components, including the chemical composition of each material (dyes, solvents, plasticizers and other chemicals). This can be achieved through the MSDS.

The third step: we need to calculate each chemical component in each of the weight on the percentage of the market calculated on the weight, the following is the calculation brief (the importer as a single unit):

Chemical composition of the share component of the total weight × × market × total number of on-market on a year-round bulk.

To the weight and 1 ton / year to compare the requirements. If the calculation of chemical substances of high concern are listed as toxic substances, and an annual export volume more than 1 ton, you need to meet the reach requirements.

Summarize our approach:

Understand the REACH directive;

Time tracking update instructions;

According to REACH Annex XVII, the establishment of a list of banned chemical substances;

As a corporate quality control indicators; to all material suppliers to disable the above list of chemical substances, and asked them to strictly limit the list of requirements;

In each of the procurement of raw materials, suppliers must provide all relevant documents to prove that the list of raw materials meet the above requirements (such as MSDS, detailed ingredient list and test reports)

If there is a need to consult the test center (the preparation of MSDS, risk assessment and testing) the above steps completed, the next business enterprise should determine who should complete the pre-registration and registration: business at home and abroad in the EU importer or only representative ; sure the registration is expected to prepare their own time; same time, enterprises should set up a special group and REACH REACH regulation in response to strengthen the financial budget.
