Clariant moves on to phase two of REACH

21/01/2011
Specialty chemicals provider Clariant has confirmed that it is now focusing on Phase Two of REACH, the European Union legislation regulating chemical substances that came into force in June 2007, with a phased implementation over the following decade.

Clariant said in a statement that it completed registration of 152 substances required under Phase One of REACH by the December 2010 deadline. Phase Two, which concerns more than 300 chemicals, should be completed by June 1, 2013.

“We are delighted to have completed the task assigned to us,“ said Hariolf Kottmann, Clariant chief executive. “Our achievement in completing Phase One registration inside the deadline required a lot of long, hard work, and an intensive use of resources. Customers have expressed their appreciation for our dedication in supporting their efforts to be REACH-compliant when using our materials in their products and formulations.”

Complying with REACH is a prerequisite for a company’s ability to operate in Europe. Any substances not registered by the deadlines set for each phase will not be allowed to be produced, imported or sold in the European Union.
