REACH has been in force since 2007 and aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment. At the same time, it aims to ensure the free movement of chemicals in the internal market and to promote competitiveness and innovation. REACH is based on the principle that manufacturers, importers and downstream users take responsibility for their chemicals. They must ensure that chemicals they manufacture and place on the market are used safely. The abbreviation “REACH” is derived from the English title of the regulation: Regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of CHemicals. REACH is considered one of the strictest chemical laws in the world.”[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t

They mean that products sold in the EEA have been checked for compliance with high safety, health and environmental protection requirements. CE marking also supports fair competition by obliging all companies to comply with the same rules.
\nBy affixing the CE marking to a product, a manufacturer declares that the product fulfils all the legal requirements for CE marking and can be sold throughout the EEA. This also applies to products manufactured in other countries and sold in the EEA.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1536077344327{margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]\n\t\t
