REACH: Our Services

NCEC provides the following services to help you comply with REACH.

REACH Impact Assessment

We can help you to understand what you need to do to comply with REACH. We can help you every step of the way from raising awareness with your staff to providing a fully managed compliance programme.

This service helps you to:

Assess the impact of REACH
Helps your customers through efficient compliance

Substance Identification
Correctly identifying your substance is an important first step in complying with REACH. We can help you identify the most appropriate CAS and EINECS numbers for your substances, and find the correct IUPAC names.

Third Party Representative

We offer third party representative services to help you maintain confidentiality in SIEFs and Consortia.

Only Representative

For non-EU based manufacturers, we can act as your Only Representative.

Classification of substances

We can review the existing classifications of your substances, and classify your substances to the new GHS requirements.

REACH and GHS Compliant Safety Data Sheets

With the introduction of REACH and GHS, you will need to alter your safety data sheets in accordance with this new legislation. If you do not do this, you will not be REACH compliant. NCEC offers a range of services related to this from safety data sheet revision, safety data sheet production (in all EU languages) to a suite of chemical document management services allowing you to manage REACH compliant safety data sheets, COSHH Assessment, Risk Assessments and any other documents you wish to store along with them.

Changes include:

Adding registration numbers (when available) and e-mail contact details
Reversing the order of Section 2 (Composition/Information on Ingredients) and Section 3 (Hazards Identification)

Significant new data requiring updates is also likely to be generated for all substances during the process of compiling the registration dossier, as well as the need to include exposure scenario information from the Chemical Safety Report for substances manufactured/imported in quantities >10 tonnes/year.

SIEF Representation

SIEF (Substance Information Exchange Forum) is an important part of REACH as it will continue to be active until June 2018. A SIEF shall be created for each group of pre-registered substances with the same properties. Pre-registrants, registrants and data holders will all be involved in SIEF. For more information see the ECHA website http://echa.europa.eu/pre-registration/SIEF_en.asp
