Bercen and REACH

REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use EC 1907/2006.  It encompasses the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances.

The new law entered into force on 1 June 2007. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances.  At the same time, innovative capability and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.

Bercen has enthusiastically complied and has representation with the International DEQ.
