SAP GRC Solution for European chemical industry

REACH  COMPLIANCE 

                – New compliance solution for EU chemicals regulation.

REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use . It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances.  The law entered into force on 1 June 2007.

The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, REACH aims to enhance innovation and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.

 The regulation shifts the burden for proving the safety of substances, products, and consumer  use of those substances and products to the businesses that manufacture and import them. And businesses must work within the ReACh process framework to establish that proof. the proof rests on a business’s ability to submit ReACh-compliant product information about its substances and products and their intended commercial use. if the product information does not satisfy ReACh legislation, the business will be denied authorisation, registration, and ultimately the right to trade in that substance within the eu. in other words: no data, no business.

SAP GRC EH&S 

To meet the requirements ReACh compliance poses, SAP AG and "techni Data" AG jointly developed the SAP® ReACh Compliance application. Based on the SAP environment, health & Safety (SAP eh&S) application, it tracks regulated substances through the production, buying, and sales processes, showing in which materials and products a substance is used and in what quantity. the application provides a reliable and cost-effective means of implementing the ReACh requirements for all industries. its modular design  means it can be adapted to the needs of the particular industry, thereby ensuring that your company is ReACh compliant in all its processes.

The SAP ReACh Compliance application extends existing SAP eh&S application to integrate all phases of the ReACh process. the software supplies with up-todate, industry-specific information, ensuring the following benefits for companies active in all industries affected by ReACh:

• Visibility into the impact of REACH and support for consistent, non-redundant data.
• Reduced risk of non-compliance and heightened diligence
• Increased efficiency and minimised costs
