Reach is an EU directive. All chemicals produced or imported within the European Union have to be registered according to Reach. The aim of the registration of chemicals is to follow up and make sure that chemicals are used in a safe way throughout the entire supply chain. The directive covers about 30 000 chemical substances and mixtures. The register is managed by the new European Chemicals Agency ECHA based in Helsinki. The registration can be carried out by a company registered in the EU.

Neuvox has a long experience of importing industrial chemicals into EU, mainly from Russia. We are happy to offer you our help in making a registration plan for the chemicals that you represent or possibly register them as an importer or as an only representative.

Neuvox has preregistered all its imported chemicals.
