SATRA launches REACH publication
13/09/2011
“Every product manufactured and brought to market in Europe is, in some way, affected by European chemicals regulations. This is now enforced by the REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals),” SATRA said on announcing the development.
The testing and research organisation said it had found that many suppliers, manufacturers, importers and retailers were “not fully aware” of all REACH requirements and the implications for their products. It added: “There is a wealth of information out there but often it makes the regulation more confusing for the business man or woman who just wants to know the essentials: am I responsible, how am I responsible, what do I need to do for the least cost and effort?”
