REACH - Eurofins is ready to support You

If you are a manufacturer and / or importer of chemicals into the EU in amounts of over 1 tonne per year, the new REACH regulations will probably affect you.

 

BSL Logo 

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & Restriction of Chemicals) became law on 1st June 2007. 

Substances produced or imported in quantities above 1 tonne per year, have to be registered at the new European Chemicals Agency (EChA) in Helsinki.

Eurofins offers support for companies looking for 'Only representative / Third party representative services' for REACH and is aligned with consultants suited to your needs.
