China-based cosmetics ingredients supplier Fenchem is taking steps to fullfil requirements for REACH registration and certification.
The company says it is particularly focusing on the specific stipulations for pre-registration, which require that all companies trading in chemicals must register between June 1 and November 30 this year with the European Chemicals Agency.
REACH came into effect in January of this year and aims to enhance the safety and accountability of all chemicals produced, imported and traded within the European Union.
Pre-registration 'crucial'
Pre-registration is particularly crucial because it means that companies can continue to manufacture and import chemicals within the EU for the next few years, until the deadline for the programme is reached.
In order to meet registration requirements, companies manufacturing and trading in chemicals within the region must ensure that the substances they trade in meet both environmental and safety standards.
Fenchem says it is currently in the process of pre-registering for REACH and says that the successful completion of this should cause a minimum of disruption to its customers in the European Union.
At the beginning of this month Fenchem announced that it was making a significant move to diversify its business beyond nutritional food ingredients and into cosmetic ingredients.
