REACH and Small Businesses Workshop

25 February 2015, Manchester, United Kingdom


Introduction
The Royal Society of Chemistry is partnering with REACHReady to deliver two separate one-day workshops on REACH.

The programme has been specifically tailored for small companies in the chemical and downstream industries.

You can attend the workshop either at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Manchester Airport on the 25 February 2015 or at Burlington House in London on the 3 December 2014 - http://www.rsc.org/events/detail/12207

REACH is a European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of Chemicals. REACH is extremely complex, and there is evidence to suggest that many small companies are unaware or unsure of their obligations under the regulation.


Why is REACH important?

Substances manufactured or imported into the EU in volumes over one tonne need to be registered with the European Chemicals Agency by 1 June, 2018. As registration is a long process, it’s best to start preparing for 2018 now!

Businesses that do not comply, or fail to comply with REACH on time, may be subject to penalties. This may include fines, and your business could lose market share during the time it takes to bring your product into compliance.

Your customers will expect you to know about REACH and be compliant. Companies that are seen not to be compliant by potential customers are likely to lose (or not win) business.

It is essential to work closely with your suppliers and monitor developments within REACH. Some chemicals are likely to be withdrawn from the market, and some substances are subject to restriction under this legislation.


Testimonial

'Very informative and well delivered course. The content covered a great deal in a short timescale but enough to gain a clear understanding of requirements to be met. Both speakers were well presented and very knowledgeable. They were approachable and seemed to genuinely want to support companies to understand and deliver their responsibilities under REACH.'
Attendee, REACH for small business event, 2013
