Verification of REACH Regulation Compliance

Many product categories fall within the scope of specific directives and regulations. CSI combines the interpretation of EU regulations with the analytical service for the verification of compliance with legal chemical parameters also for packaging intended for food contact.

Some substances used in the production of food contact materials are also subject to REACH registration procedures if the materials in question are manufactured or imported into the EU.

The import of plastic films, finished packaging or labels is to be ascribed to the entry "import of articles", where "article" means an object which, during production, is given a particular shape, surface or design that determines its function, to a greater extent than its chemical composition

For articles there is the obligation to communicate to the recipient if there are substances of very high concern (SVHC, listed in the candidate list and constantly updated) in quantities greater than 0.1% substance weight / article weight: each producer and importer of articles is required to follow these updates to comply with their obligations.

Films or articles generally do not need to be accompanied by a safety data sheet (sometimes they are instead accompanied by a non-legislated document defined as a Safety Data Sheet), which is instead required for dangerous substances or mixtures.

CSI is able to verify the presence of highly problematic substances (SVHC) and verify compliance with the restrictions set out in the annexes of the Reach Regulation (Regulation (EC) N ° 1907/2006).
