Information about REACH
(REACH → European Regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of CHemicalson)
Regulation 1907/2006/EC on the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals came into effect on 1st June 2007.
Aims of introducing and applying the regulation:
- to improve the protection of human health and the environment against hazards possibly caused by chemicals;
- to improve the competitiveness of the chemical industry, which is a key sector within the economy of the European Union;
- to support alternative ways of analyzing and surveying risks related to materials;
- to ensure the free marketing of materials on the internal market of the European Union.
Why is REACH necessary?
REACH is an updated and revised regulation, which supersedes circa 40 laws. Other laws regulating chemicals (regarding e.g. cosmetics, detergents) or related legal documents (regarding e.g. the health and safety of workers handling chemicals, product safety, construction materials), which are not superseded by REACH, will continue to be applied. Attention was paid during the establishment of REACH regulation not to have overlapping or inconsistency with other laws on chemicals.
The role of REACH in the operations of ISD DUNAFERR Zrt.
Materials both purchased and produced/sold by ISD DUNAFERR Zrt. are subject to REACH.
Produced and sold steel products (hot and cold rolled sheets, cold bent steel sections, coated products) are classified by REACH as goods, whereby they are exempt from the effect of registration.
Either ISD DUNAFERR Zrt. or its suppliers have performed the pre-registration, as well as registration of all important components of products.
There are certain materials (e.g. slags) among the secondary products produced/sold by ISD DUNAFERR Zrt. that are subject to registration in accordance with the terms of REACH. ISD DUNAFERR Zrt. registered such materials by the specified deadline.
In case of purchased products, the compliance of all materials/mixtures with the requirements of REACH regulation has been checked in each case by ISD DUNAFERR Zrt. since December 2008.
