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
