REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) certification is a European Union regulation that ensures chemicals used, manufactured, or imported into the EU are safe for human health and the environment.
REACH certification is required for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of chemical substances in the EU. Any company that produces, imports, or supplies chemicals in quantities above 1 ton per year must comply with REACH regulations.
REACH certification ensures legal compliance with EU regulations, enhances product safety, protects human health and the environment, and enables companies to trade freely in the European market.
All chemical substances manufactured or imported into the EU in quantities of 1 ton or more per year must be registered, except for exempted substances such as water, polymers, and naturally occurring minerals.
The duration depends on the complexity of the substance and the amount of data required. On average, it can take several months to a year to complete the full registration process.
Non-compliance can result in legal penalties, fines, product recalls, or restrictions on selling or distributing products in the EU market.
Yes, any business that manufactures, imports, or distributes chemicals within the EU must comply with REACH regulations. However, some substances are exempt from registration.
Non-EU companies cannot register substances directly. They must appoint an EU-based "Only Representative" (OR) to fulfill their REACH obligations.
An Only Representative (OR) is an EU-based entity appointed by a non-EU manufacturer to take responsibility for REACH compliance, including substance registration and risk management.
Companies must ensure that safety data sheets and proper labelling are in place, including hazard classifications, precautionary statements, and chemical composition details.
The cost varies based on the number of substances, data requirements, and company size. Fees include ECHA registration charges, testing costs, and consultancy fees.
KMA GLOBAL provides complete support, including consultation, documentation, safety assessments, registration with ECHA, and ongoing compliance monitoring.
Industries that handle chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, textiles, automotive, and manufacturing, require REACH compliance.
