Does anyone have a good website or other area to look for information regarding REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.  I have customers asking our status - but am having trouble trying to find the info I need to respond to them.

Bev,
I have the FAQ published by ECHA.  It is a pdf file that is indexed, and may help you.  Send me your email address if you want the file.  Contact me at dcunningham@parishmfg.com.

Bev, REACH is a rather extensive program with the European Union.  One website which may help you with definitions and the objective of the overall program can be found at "www.scienceinthebox.com/en_UK/sustainability/initiatives-restriction-chemicals_en.html".  (If the link does not work, simply copy and paste it into your browser.)

However, what this website lacks are the how-to's in terms of reporting and registering chemicals / products that may be listed as hazardous.

Bev,

Another site is ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/reach/reach_intro.htm

I have found it to contain valuable information regrading REACH.
