REACH is a European Union legislation that came into force on 1 June 2007, envisaging the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals. The aim of this legislation is to ensure the protection of the environment and human health from the use of chemicals at a high level and to realize the responsibility of everyone who uses chemicals.

Registration

Information about the properties of substances produced or present to the market by producers over 1 ton or exporters is collected and registered to the European Chemicals Agency in Helsinki by assessing and controlling the risks and damages generated by these substances.

Supply Chain Information

One of the most important features of REACH legislation is the dissemination of information on substances in the supply chain. Producers or importers are obliged to transmit the information they have right down to the downstream user.

Tisan’s Role in REACH

As Tisan, our obligations related to the REACH regulation and its applications have been evaluated and related studies were conducted by our management. As explained in REACH Directive, the mixtures that we produce are evaluated as compounds. Registration is not a requirement for compounds. However, the producers of compounds are obliged to track the registration process of the additives and monomers which they use in their compounds.

In this process, our firm follows the registration process of the products indirectly. Due to REACH Standard, we are in contact with our suppliers in respect of all materials that we use for the production of our products.
