The REACH Regulation represents one of the most important and extensive regulations on chemicals in Europe.

Normachem offers a specialized consulting service to guide manufacturers, importers, downstream users, and distributors through the various obligations imposed by the Regulation, ensuring compliance and facilitating corporate regulatory management. Our expertise enables companies to effectively comply with regulatory requirements.

REACH Regulation

The European regulatory framework for chemical substance management

Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) governs the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, aiming to minimise risks to human health and the environment.

It applies to all actors in the supply chain - manufacturers, importers, downstream users and distributors - requiring them to identify their specific role and verify their regulatory obligations accordingly.

REACH and CLP Consultancy

Technical and regulatory support for full compliance

Normachem provides an integrated REACH and CLP compliance service, supporting companies in meeting European chemical regulations.
Our consultancy includes:

  • Registration of substances with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
  • Management of restrictions and authorisation procedures
  • Verification of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and exposure scenarios

We also assist businesses in evaluating regulatory obligations related to articles under REACH, delivering tailored solutions to minimise production impact and ensure compliance across European markets. Working with Normachem means operating more safely while reducing the risk of regulatory penalties.

Articles under REACH

Regulatory definition and applicable obligations

According to REACH, an article is defined as “an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than its chemical composition.”

This broad definition includes many industrial and consumer products.
Normachem provides personalised support to:

  • Properly identify articles subject to regulatory obligations
  • Manage supply chain communication
  • Verify compliance before placing products on the market

REACH Authorisation

Managing substances subject to authorisation (Annex XIV)

REACH Authorisation applies to substances listed in Annex XIV, for which companies must obtain specific approval from the European Commission.
To be granted authorisation, companies must demonstrate that:

  • The risks are adequately controlled
  • The ban would lead to significant socio-economic consequences

We offer expert assistance in drafting and submitting authorisation dossiers, helping businesses manage restricted substances and maintain operational continuity.

REACH Registration

Obligations for manufacturers and importers of chemical substances

Companies that manufacture or import chemical substances in quantities above one tonne per year are required to gather comprehensive information on the substance's properties and uses, and to submit a registration dossier to ECHA.

Normachem supports businesses throughout the registration process:

  • Preparation of technical documentation
  • Substance analysis and characterisation
  • Dossier submission and regulatory follow-up

With our consultancy, companies can navigate the REACH registration process with confidence, ensuring regulatory compliance and uninterrupted market access across the EU.
