Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH)



REACH entered into force on 1st June 2007 and will be implemented in three phases over 11 years. The EPIA Working Group on REACH has prepared three guidance documents to help guide companies through the obligations arising through the REACH regulations and to translate the general REACH requirements into specifics for the imaging industry.

Guidance Document I - Inventory List

Guidance Document II - The Pre-registration of substances as required by REACH

Guidance Document III - Substances in Articles of the Imaging Industry

Guidance Document IV - Substances in Articles of the Imaging Industry.  Equipment - Practical Implementation

The following EPIA Reach Information document provides guidance on the requirements for Safety Data Sheets under REACH
