First, the meaning of REACH detection
REACH is the abbreviation of the REGULATION concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, which was established by the European Union and implemented on June 1, 2007. Regulatory system.

This is a regulatory proposal involving the safety of chemical production, trade, and use. The regulations are designed to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry, and develop innovative capabilities for non-toxic and harmless compounds to prevent market fragmentation. Increase the transparency of chemical use, promote non-animal experiments, and pursue sustainable social development. REACH has established the idea that society should not introduce new materials, products or technologies if their potential hazards are unclear.
Second, the main content of REACH regulations
◆ Registration All chemical substances with an annual output or import volume exceeding 1 ton need to be registered, and chemical substances with an annual output or import volume of more than 10 tons should also be submitted for chemical safety report.
◆ Evaluation includes file assessment and material assessment. The file assessment is to verify the integrity and consistency of the company's submission of the registration dossier. Substance assessment is the identification of the risks of chemical substances that endanger human health and the environment.
◆ Authorisation Authorizes the production and import of chemical substances that have certain hazardous characteristics and are highly valued, including CMR, PBT, vPvB, etc.
◆ Restriction If a substance, preparation, or article is considered to be manufactured, put on the market, or used, the risks to human health and the environment cannot be adequately controlled, and it will be restricted from being produced or imported within the EU.

3. Responsibilities and obligations of articles in the REACH Regulation
◆ If the product contains intentionally released substances and the annual export volume of the substance is greater than 1 ton, registration is required.
◆ If the product does not contain intentionally released substances:
1) If the product contains a substance of high concern (ie SVHC) and the content is less than 0.1%, no notification and active information transfer is required, but if the importer or consumer is obligated to provide relevant information;
2) If the product contains SVHC, and the content is greater than 0.1%, and the annual export volume is less than 1 ton, the downstream importer must be informed and relevant information transmission, and the relevant certification documents should be issued;
3) If the product contains SVHC and the content is greater than 0.1%, and the annual export volume is greater than 1 ton, it must be notified to ECHA;
4) At the request of the consumer, all suppliers of the item should provide the consumer with sufficient information to be available for safe use within 45 days of receiving the request. This information includes at least the name of the substance.
Note: There are currently 155 substances in the SVHC list, which can be viewed by clicking on the link http://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table
◆ Restricted substances

That is, Annex 17 of the REACH Regulation is a restriction on the manufacture, market and use of certain dangerous substances, preparations and articles. It is an important part of the work except for SVHC. On June 1, 2009, the EU Regulations on the Restriction of Substances The 76/769/EEC Directive was abolished and all relevant regulations were incorporated into the REACH Regulations. Any substance, whether it is itself or contained in a preparation or article, must be restricted within the EU as long as the use of the substance poses an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. Provisions.

Third, what is SVHC
Substances of high concern for one or more of the following hazardous characteristics in accordance with Article 57 of the REACH Regulation:
(1) Category 1, Category 2 carcinogenic, teratogenic, reproductively toxic substances, ie CMR 1/2 substances;
(2) Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances, ie PBT substances;
(3) Highly persistent, highly bioaccumulative substances, ie vPvB substances;
(4) Standards with endocrine disrupting properties, or with persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity, or high persistence, high bioaccumulation but not meeting 2 and 3, and scientific evidence to prove to human or the environment A substance that is seriously affected.

1. When SVHC is included in the product, the company needs to fulfill its responsibilities and obligations.
◆ When selling as a substance, you need to provide SDS (Safety Data Sheet) to downstream users.
◆ As a substance in a mixture (preparation), when the content of this substance is ≥0.1%, it is necessary to provide SDS to downstream users.
◆ When the percentage of SVHC quality in the item is >0.1%, the recipient of the item or the consumer should be requested to provide sufficient information, including the substance name and its content, free of charge on the 45th.
◆ For SVHCs listed before December 1, 2010, if the percentage of quality in articles exceeds 0.1% and the total amount is greater than 1 ton/year, the obligation to notify ECHA must be completed on June 1, 2011. SVHCs that have been included in the list after December 1, 2010, must meet the notification criteria and must complete the notification within six months of inclusion.

2.SVHC notification
June 1, 2007, EU REACH Regulations - "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
The Chemicals “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals” regulations came into force. The REACH Regulations stipulate the obligations of chemicals and downstream articles and are the most widely influential regulations to date.
The REV Regulation Annex XIV Candidate List is the SVHC List, which provides for the notification of the following two conditions: SVHC, the manufacturer or importer of the item shall notify ECHA:
◆The total content of SVHC substances in the articles exceeds 1t/y/producer or importer;
◆ The total content of SVHC substances in the articles is more than 0.1% by mass.

3. Who needs to be notified
◆ EU manufacturer
◆ EU importer
◆ Non-EU producers (must be entrusted to represent OR)

4. When to notify
◆ Substances included in the SVHC list before December 1, 2010, the notification must be submitted within 6 months from June 1, 2011;
◆ Substances listed on the SVHC list after December 1, 2010, the notification must be submitted within 6 months from the date of publication.

Fourth, why should REACH be notified?
The EU implements the REACH Regulation on domestically distributed products. Products within the EU must fulfill the obligations of the REACH Regulations before they can be legally produced or imported. Countries have passed strict regulatory and punitive measures for REACH legislation, and EU Customs can conduct REACH compliance reviews. If they violate REACH regulations, they will face product recalls, fines and even imprisonment.

V. REACH detection mode
The REACH test is generally carried out by means of a mixed test, that is, all the metal materials of the product are mixed into one material, and the non-metal materials are mixed into one material and tested separately.
Sixth, REACH registration regulations
REACH registration - phased material
There is a special substance that, under certain conditions, has been produced or sold on the market before the transition to REACH. This substance is called a phased substance. Companies can benefit from the pre-registration of substances for the transitional regime on December 1, 2008.
The fulfillment of at least one of the following criteria may be considered as a phased substance in accordance with REACH (Article 3(20)).

The listed substances in the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemicals (EINECS) have been produced in the European Union (including the state, which was added on January 1, 2007), but have not been placed in the EU market after June 1, 1992. Substances, identified as "substances that do not have long-chain polymers" For these substances, the following deadlines must be submitted when registering:
November 30, 2010
A registration deadline of 1,000 tons or more per year for substances produced or imported by carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic reproductive substances of more than 1 ton per year, and more than 100 tons of aquatic organisms or environmentally hazardous substances per year.

May 31, 2013
The registration deadline for substances produced or imported at 100-1000 tons per year.

May 31, 2018
The registration deadline for substances produced or imported at 1-100 tons per year.
All substances that do not conform to any standard phase material are considered non-phased substances. Normally, non-phased substances are not manufactured, sold or used in the market before June 1, 2008, according to Directive 67/548. /EEC unless they are notified.
Potential manufacturers and importers of non-phased substances must submit an inquiry to ECHA and subsequently register or export the substance in accordance with REACH.
All substances notified in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC (also known as NONS) are considered to be registered under the REACH, ECHA has registered all notices of the number. The notified employer from ECHA can request a registration number.
How is REACH detected?
Like other chemical tests, REACH testing is also an important indicator for judging the environmental performance of products, but the problem is coming, how can REACH test pass? In fact, the reach bill is aimed at controlling the weight of one year's element of the manufacturer of the EU, so a single over-subscription will not become a stumbling block to the EU, as long as the weight can be well controlled.
