SAN FRANCISCO – A free Design Chain Associates Webinar on REACH, Introduction and Update for North American manufacturers, will take place July 13, at 2 pm EDT.
The European Union's Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals, or REACH regulation takes a different approach to regulation of chemical substances and mixtures in the EU. Manufacturers in electronics, textiles, automotive, aerospace, and other industries will need to assess which aspects of REACH directly impact them, as well as understand the risks that currently exist within their supply chains.
Robert Donkers, environment counselor and a member of the Delegation of the European Commission to the US, will present an overview focusing on the basics of the law, with a focus on pre-registration, issues for non-EU-based companies, the "only representative" and SIEF concepts, and more.
Michael Kirschner, president and managing partner of Design Chain Associates, will cover specific issues for manufacturers, including the concepts of "intentionally released," disclosure of substances in articles, and scenarios of supply chain risk.
