REACH Consulting

When referring to REACH, we are referring to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) related to the safe management and use of substances, mixtures, and articles.

The REACH Regulation was created with the aim of improving the protection of human health and the environment through a better understanding of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances, involving manufacturers, importers, and downstream users.

All companies that produce, import, formulate, or distribute chemical substances are actors involved in the REACH Regulation. It is essential to identify one's role within the supply chain and to assess which obligations of the Regulation are applicable to the activities carried out.

Our consulting services cover all the obligations of the Regulation, from registration, to restrictions and authorizations, to safety data sheets and exposure scenarios. Normachem also has a specialized department for managing articles (objects) in accordance with REACH provisions. Our team of experts is always up to date on regulatory developments, guaranteeing precise and timely advice.

Our personalized approach ensures that each client receives tailor-made solutions for their specific needs. We are committed to providing innovative solutions to overcome legal and operational challenges, minimizing the impact on production and business operations.

Relying on specialized REACH consultancy is essential to guarantee the conformity and safety of products placed on the market.  Chemical companies are encouraged to contact us for further information or to start a collaboration aimed at ensuring the conformity and success of their products.

The REACH Regulation defines an article as "an object which during manufacture is given a specific form, surface or design that determines its function to a greater degree than its chemical composition".

In general, objects commonly used in private homes and industries can be defined as articles or complex articles.

We invite you to contact us to understand how to manage the obligations related to placing articles on the market in compliance with REACH.

When talking about REACH Authorization, we are referring to a specific obligation that is imposed in relation to the use of substances listed in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation. In fact, these substances must request specific authorization from the European Commission to demonstrate that the risks associated with these substances are adequately controlled, or that the socioeconomic impact of not using these substances is excessively demanding.

Normachem offers support to companies that handle these particularly critical substances, both in terms of consultancy and preparation of authorization request dossiers.

Companies are responsible for collecting information on the properties and uses of the substances they manufacture or import in quantities equal to or greater than one ton/year. These actors must submit a registration dossier to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) containing information on the substance and - if necessary - an assessment of the risks that the use of the substance could pose.

With our REACH registration consultancy service, we are able to assist you by providing comprehensive support aimed at guiding you step by step through the registration of the chemical substances produced and/or imported, from the execution of characterization analyses to the submission of the dossier.
