REACH and GHS are impacting most business in the international trade nowadays. It is important to understand what your role is in these regulations, and what you can do now to be sure you are ready.
You need to know all the substances you use; for preparations you need to find out what the ingredients are. Keep a record of each one, and include essential information for example the name of the chemical and the percentage in any preparations. You can use this information to determine the tonnage per year.
Additionally you need to know whether you produce or import articles. If you do, establish if any substance (which is intended to be released under normal or resonably foresseable conditions of use) is present in these articles in quantities totalling over 1 tonne.
Every business making use of chemicals that aren't exempt from REACH and GHS need to understand how valuable these substances are to them, and plan to make effective business decisions based on this knowledge.
Establish a relationship with your suppliers and any downstream users. You need to know how REACH and GHS are going to impact on your supply chain before you can decide what to do about it.
