Regulatory Compliance

Atrion's REACH Solutions

The long-awaited EU REACH Regulation (EC) No.1907/2006 was published on the 18th of December, 2006—setting out new requirements for the control of chemicals throughout the EU. While some provisions came into force on 1st of June, 2007, the majority will be delayed until 1st June, 2008, 1st June, 2009 with a final provision to be met in 2018.

Rules-Based Regulatory Document Generation

Atrion is prepared to help clients meet upcoming REACH requirements by providing solutions to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance as well as generate rules-based regulatory documents.

Our regulatory compliance engine will be extended to automate generation of a 'use based' extended REACH Safety Data Sheet (SDS) in multiple languages without re-entering the 'hazard' and 'exposure' profile of every product. Today, the compliance engine is heavily used within the formula-based process industry (ie.)(Paint, Coatings & Inks) for 'rules based' Safety Data Sheet generation in 43 languages, complying with national regulations & industry sector guidelines.

With data submission requirements of REACH and other legislative programs such as OECD HPV, EU Biocides and others, IUCLID 5 will play a central role. To ensure consistency between substance data submitted for registration and information communicated in the supply chain on the REACH e-SDS, Atrion’s bi-directional data exchange interface with IUCLID 5 “REACH Exchange” is available.

Supply Chain Communication and Substance Volume Tracking

Do You Know Your Suppliers’ REACH Registration Intentions?

The lack of knowledge about whether or not your suppliers intend to register the substances you depend on can have serious consequences on your business. Can you count on your supplier to register? Will you need to change your supplier? Will you need to change your formula? Will you need to register your substances yourself? These are some of the possible registration scenarios that could impact your business. Understanding the intent of your supplier is critical.

Additionally, communication with downstream users is also required to identify how your product is used in order to develop and provide the appropriate exposure scenarios.

REACHtracker™ enables companies to analyse ‘supplier registration intentions’ and ‘customer uses’ to determine the effect REACH will have on their product line.
