Regulations covering the manufacture and distribution of specific hazardous chemicals are well established. These chemicals include plant protection products, biocidal products and
veterinary/human pharmaceuticals, and compliance with the appropriate regulations generates a considerable requirement for expert assistance.
ADAS, and its subsidiary CEA, are leading providers of expert services to both regulators and industry. However, the introduction of the REACH Regulation has meant that the number of businesses affected by the strategic and financial implications of risk associated with chemicals is now greater than ever.
The REACH Regulation aims to improve protection of human health and the environment through better and earlier identification of the properties of chemical substances. The new, single system will gather hazard information, assess risks, classify, label, and restrict the marketing and use of individual chemicals and mixtures. REACH will apply to any business which manufactures, imports, distributes, sells or uses chemicals throughout the supply chain.
CEA has extensive expertise and a proven track record in delivering highly successful services to clients at all stages in the registration/review process. Specialising in the delivery of higher-tier solutions, CEA provides a guiding light through the risk assessment and chemical registration process.
