REACH is the EU regulation, Registration, Evaluation, Licensing and Restriction of Chemicals
REACH test
(REGULATIONconcerningtheRegistration,Evaluation,AuthorizationandRestrictionofChemicals) is the chemical regulatory system established by the European Union and implemented on June 1, 2007.
This is a regulatory proposal involving the safety of chemical production, trade, and use. The regulations are designed to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry, and develop innovative capabilities for non-toxic and harmless compounds to prevent market fragmentation. Increase the transparency of chemical use, promote non-animal experiments, and pursue sustainable social development. The REACH Directive requires that chemicals imported and produced in Europe must pass a comprehensive set of procedures for registration, assessment, authorization and restriction to better and more easily identify the components of the chemical for the purpose of ensuring environmental and human safety. The directive mainly includes several items such as registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction. Any commodity must have a registration file listing the chemical composition and explain how the manufacturer uses these chemical compositions and toxicity assessment reports. All information will be entered into a database under construction, managed by the European Chemicals Agency, a new EU agency in Helsinki, Finland. The agency will evaluate each file and if it finds that the chemical has an impact on human health or the environment, they may take more stringent measures. Based on the evaluation of several factors, the chemical may be banned or approved before it can be used.
According to reports, unlike the RoHS directive, REACH covers a much wider range. In fact, it affects products and manufacturing processes from mining to textiles, clothing, light industry, electromechanical and other industries. REACH requires manufacturers to register approximately 30,000 of each chemical in their products – and to measure their potential health hazard. REACH has established the idea that society should not introduce new materials, products or technologies if their potential hazards are unclear.
REACH84 standard
REACH84 is a regulation of the 28 member states of the European Union for the preventive management of all chemicals entering their markets, especially household items. At present, the three major environmental standards agreed by the international home furnishing industry are: DMF (skin allergy element), REACH84, CARB standards, and three complementary environmental protection systems. There is no overlap between them. The series of household environmental protection standards are sponsored by domestic famous home brands. The group initiated the initiative, and its federal Minni environmental sofa series promised to comply with international environmental standards and called for the protection of consumer rights. On December 18, 2006, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union formally adopted the Chemical Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction Regulations (REACH) to prevent the management of all chemicals entering the EU market. The regulation came into effect on June 1, 2007, and was implemented on June 1 of the following year. The competent authority is the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). in China,
This standard requires that 84 SVHC substances in all chemicals with an annual production capacity of more than 1 ton not exceed 0.1% of the total item weight. This standard is based on test project content, technical requirements, limit parameters, test complexity, Supply chain control system, etc., the current domestic standards have not been implemented.
1. From the content of the test items, in addition to the substances listed in the country, REACH84 has been added, and REACH84 is added with other chemicals;
2. From the technical requirements, the limit parameters of REACH 84 environmental protection standards are several times stricter than the domestic standards;
3. From the perspective of test complexity, REACH84 has been initially implemented since 1976, and has been committed to gradual improvement. From 2008, the first batch of 15 projects has been implemented to 84, which is a planned and sustainable development. The goal of this regulation is to align with the EU's international obligations under the WTO framework to protect human health and promote a non-toxic environment;
4. From the perspective of supply chain control system, the operation of this regulation must be traced back to the most upstream supply system, and it must be transparent and systematic steps to complete.
