The REACH Regulation concerns chemicals and their registration with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The regulation provided for a period of adjustment of the companies where by simple pre-registration of substances depending on the produced / imported tonnage they could continue their activities and provided that by 31/5/2018 they would have completed the required procedures for registration.
Mixtures that are classified as hazardous to human health or due to their physicochemical properties must be registered in the National Chemicals Register (NCHP). Those who produce, import, or distribute chemical products such as paints, sealants, adhesives, plant protection products, biocides, fuels, raw materials, inks, fertilizers, etc. have an obligation.
CLP Regulation (Reg. 1272/2008 / EC) states the requirements for the classification, labeling and packaging of chemicals and mixtures (preparations).
To facilitate world trade, protect the environment and human health, classification and labeling criteria are set in a common global system known as the Global Harmonized System for the Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are information documents for the safe use of a substance or preparation. They also provide the necessary information for transport, storage, management, and disposal as waste to reduce any risks to the environment and humans.
The product label is the means of informing the consumer and advertising of the company that provides the product. There is often a risk of placing products with inappropriate labeling on the market due to misleading advertising, incomplete or incorrect labeling.
