We offer comprehensive services in the field of substance registration under the REACH Regulation

According to REACH, any substance produced or imported from outside the European Economic Area in quantities of more than 1 ton/year must be registered with the European Chemicals Agency. June 1, 2018 marked the last registration deadline under the regulation, by which substances produced or imported in the tonnage range of 1-100 tons/year had to be registered. At the moment, if you start manufacturing or importing substances above 1 ton/year, you must register the substance before placing it on the market. In this case, the first step is to submit an inquire dossier to ECHA, and then after obtaining the relevant information, contact the Lead Registrant to share data, prepare and submit the registration dossier. Our Team is active on behalf of registrants, offering comprehensive services to register substances, including:

• preparation and submission of inquiry documentation;
• contact with the Lead Registrant and the consortium to determine the terms of data sharing;
• preparation of registration documentation in the IUCLID program 6;
• submission of registration documentation to the REACH-IT portal.

We also offer services for updating registration documentation. The prerequisite for the service is the provision of the substance registration dossier in the form of a file generated by the IUCLID6 program (.i6z format).

We sincerely invite you to cooperate and contact us.

Almost every company that manufactures, imports or distributes chemicals is more than likely to deal sooner or later with substances or mixtures that require a safety data sheet.

This obligation results from Article 31 of REACH (1907/2006). The current format of the safety data sheet is set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2020/878 of June 18, 2020. As of December 31, 2022, all safety data sheets provided must comply with the new format.

Safety data sheets must be provided in the language of the country where the product is marketed. However, safety data sheets prepared by suppliers often do not meet all the requirements of Polish law, including those concerning applicable hygiene standards. Literal translations of the original often fail to take into account legal provisions and lack verification, e.g. of the classification provided by the manufacturer.

Remember: the safety data sheet is to enable the workplace to take the measures necessary to ensure safety and protect human health and the environment. On the basis of a properly drawn up safety data sheet, a label is developed to be placed on the product, which is intended to provide the consumer with comprehensive information about the potential hazards associated with the use of the substance or mixture.

We offer services for the notification of hazardous mixtures in accordance with Annex VIII of Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP)

In accordance with Article 45 and Annex VIII of the CLP Regulation, importers, downstream users (i.e. formulators of mixtures) and certain distributors are required to provide designated authorities with information on mixtures in a common harmonised EU format.

In addition, the product label must include the so-called UFI code – Unique Formula Identifier.

We offer a service consisting of:

• assigning the mixture a UFI number;
• preparing documentation for the notification of a hazardous mixture using the IUCLID6 programme, based on the safety data sheet and additional information from the client;
• submission of the notification dossier through the ECHA Submission portal.

We sincerely invite you to cooperate and contact us.
