From June 1, 2007, the EU REACH Regulation (abbreviation for the new EU Chemicals Regulatory, Evaluation, Licensing, and Restriction System) came into effect. From the 2001 EU White Paper on Future Chemicals Policy Strategy to the official release of the REACH Consultation Draft in 2003, and to the EU Council and Parliament on December 18, 2006, the REACH Regulation has undergone seven years of brewing and repeated amendments. Finally, "Passing the world."
From the time that the REACH regulation was formally passed into effect, China's chemical companies have begun to abandon their attitude of being "a ship straight to the bridge," and are ready to respond positively. Because the implementation of the REACH regulation will not only affect the EU’s chemical production or importers, but will also affect their suppliers and downstream manufacturers, including Chinese suppliers; not only will China’s chemical suppliers be affected Under the conditions, it will also affect China's ordinary goods manufacturers. According to analysis by industry experts, the REACH regulation will involve about 30,000 chemical products in the EU market, affecting approximately 30,000 companies in China, increasing the cost of China's exports of EU products by about 5%, and the cost of importing EU products by about 6%.
At present, there are still many problems faced by Chinese companies. The first is that REACH related rules and IT tools have not yet been introduced. Second, Chinese companies outside the EU must find a designated “only representative†to settle in the EU, and it is currently Laboratory in China can not provide some experimental data that meet REACH requirements.
