Regulatory (REACH)
REACH Background
REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization 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.

The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.
The REACH Regulation gives greater responsibility to industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances. Manufacturers and importers will be required to gather information on the properties of their chemical substances, which will allow their safe handling, and to register the information in a central database run by theEuropean Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki. The Agency will act as the central point in the REACH system: it will manage the databases necessary to operate the system, co-ordinate the in-depth evaluation of suspicious chemicals and run a public database in which consumers and professionals can find hazard information.

Everspring’s progress towards REACH Compliance
Everspring is aware of the requirements of the REACH regulation and supports fully the objectives of REACH.
Everspring is fully preparing towards the REACH regulation and all substances manufactured or imported into the European Union (EU), including substances in preparations in quantities over one metric ton per year, will be registered under the imposed REACH timetable.
In Everspring we focus on: Innovation, Technology, Quality, Customer Satisfaction and we operate towards the achievement of REACH requirements.
Everspring is currently in process of pre-registering its substances as required with the transitional period by REACH, to complete the registration process for existing substances with phased-in deadlines of 2010, 2013, and 2018, depending on the annual amounts imported and the hazard of the substance.
