1 min read
An online service has been launched to help businesses meet the requirements of the REACH regulations. REACH-VEN is designed to help companies to preregister and to begin working together as part of a Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF) Preparation Consortium, in advance of forming a full SIEF.
Those who sign up with REACH-VEN will be able to find out if the legislation applies to them. If so, they can begin the process of working together and make contact with with other companies intending to register the same substances.
Mark Selby from Denehurst Chemical Safety said: “We know that REACH has important implications for manufacturers, importers and distributors of chemicals accessing the European market. This solution will help companies in the preregistration process.”
Jim Thomas, business development director at VEN, which created REACH-VEN, said: “REACH-VEN follows a simple process that will quickly and easily help preregistrants to access the secure platform and the full support of the VEN team. REACH-VEN also provides a simple solution for preregistering all of a company’s substances with the European Chemicals Agency through a bulk upload facility. Users of the site can preregister all of their substances in a single streamlined system that will save them both time and effort.”
After joining REACH-VEN, companies will be able to take part in SIEF Preparation Consortia. These will initiate the process of identifying other companies dealing with the same substances. This gives access to a range of support tools.
