What is REACH testing?

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is a European Union (EU) regulation that requires companies to report on chemicals used throughout the supply chain and in their products. REACH is broad in scope and affects the whole supply chain including companies based outside the EU. 

Compliance with REACH requires strategic planning as it asks industry to account for compliance throughout the supply chain. A trusted third-party testing services provider such as TÜV SÜD conducts comprehensive testing at every stage of the supply chain to demonstrate REACH compliance. 

Why REACH testing is important

Compliance with REACH allows companies to prove that they are safeguarding human health and the environment. This helps them access the EU market. It also helps them avoid regulatory fines and litigation, and save money and time testing in-house.

How REACH testing applies to industries

REACH testing for consumer products and retail

Consumer products need to have a sufficiently low presence of chemicals to ensure that their consumers stay safe. This is where REACH testing comes in. This EU regulation requires companies to report on chemicals used throughout their supply chain. Only after comprehensive testing can businesses prove that they are REACH compliant and access the EU market.
