REACH, SVHC & RoHS Testing Services
REACH Testing ultimately falls into one of two caterories: a Technical dossier for REACH Registrations or chemical analysis testing to determine the types and quantities of ingredients in a chemical substance.
The entire goal of the European REACH program is to understand the and minimize the potential risks of the chemicals being imported and used in Europe. An important element of this is the analysis of the chemical substance in question. Analysis requires testing, and so here we are. So what exactly is involved in REACH testing services and what are the costs involved? Read on to learn more.
There are two aspects of any chemical substance that requires tests. The first is the analysis of the chemical substance itself to understand the potential risks or hazards associated wih handling the chemical. This is the REACH technical dossier testing. The second is testing of chemical substances themselves to see if and how much of the potentially hazardous materials they contain. This is SVHC Testing.
REACH Technical Dossier Testing
Chemical substance manufacturers, and/or those that import the chemicals into Europe have to create a technical dossier that summarizes all the existing information on the chemical suibstance. indluding how it's made, what it's uses are and the potential exposure.
The technical REACH dossier includes: - Information about the kind of substance it is
- How the chemical substance is made and used
- How the chemical substance shoudl be classified and labelled
- How to use the chemical safely
- Recommendations if the chemical subtance should be tested further
- A detailed summary of the chemical substances basic properties
Furthermore, if the chemical substance is to be registered for volumes between 1-10 tonnes, then there is also information in the REACH technical dossier about the exposure. This includes the mains use category, the types of usage and the significant exposure routes.
