The substance is identified by the REACH regulations and is identified by descriptive information on the nature, composition and purity of the substance to be determined by chemical testing and analysis. Substance identity requirements should include the correct structure, composition and purity information that the ECHA European Chemicals Agency may examine in order to clearly determine the identity of the substance. To achieve this, quality test data including spectra and chromatograms as well as other analytical information should be included in the REACH registration document.
In advanced laboratories, a substance identity is established for the identification and nomenclature of substances covered by REACH. During these studies, many analytical methods including spectroscopic methods to verify the molecular structure of the substance and the appropriate chromatographic methods to verify the composition of the main component and impurities are applied. REACH tests include multiple assays for substance identity, such as structural information, purity and impurity tests, and analysis of trace species.
Experienced and trained experts in advanced laboratories implement the most appropriate analytical programs to meet the substance identity requirements of the enterprises. In order to obtain a REACH certificate, a lot of analytical data supporting substance identification is required.
The spectroscopy teams of the laboratories obtain spectral data to verify the structure of the single component substances. Various spectroscopic methods such as ultraviolet and visible absorption spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy are applied for this purpose. For inorganic substances, methods such as mass spectrometry or optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, or X-ray fluorescence inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy are employed. In addition, chromatographic methods such as gas chromatography (GC) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are used to verify the purity of the substance where necessary.
In advanced laboratories, physico-chemical properties are also tested for the preparation of the safety data sheet to meet the REACH application directive requirements.
The REACH Certificate of Compliance is a document proving that a product complies with the European Union REACH directive 1907 / 2006. It is prepared by a third-party testing organization that acts impartially and independently. Businesses must ensure that each substance is registered under the European Union REACH regulation if its products are a chemical product in the form of a substance or mixture, or if a certain proportion of the substance is contained. The best way to comply is to obtain a REACH registration number from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). If these products are, for example, clothes, toys or household appliances, it is necessary to check whether these products contain a high level of concern and any limited substances contained in the annexes to the REACH directive.
In short, the REACH certificate is based on a REACH regulation designed to control environmental and health conditions resulting from the complex state of chemicals. With this regulation, production activities are aimed to be controlled from the beginning based on the data that constitutes the chemical substances. Production activities should be consistent with the chemical safety report for chemicals used in production. The REACH certificate proves this.
By obtaining the REACH certificate, first of all human and environmental health is protected and awareness is created for the dangers related to chemicals in both manufacturers and intermediary companies. At the same time, this document facilitates the purchase and sale of products within the European Union.
Our company also provides REACH certification services within the scope of certification services. Thanks to these services, enterprises are able to produce more efficient, high performance and quality products in a safe, fast and uninterrupted manner.
