REACH Solutions from Safeware

If you are looking for REACH software solutions, Safeware Quasar has the answer.

REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals - is the most wide-reaching and ambitious piece of legislation to affect the worldwide chemical industry to date.

It will require the registration of around 30,000 chemical substances by 2018 to create a single database of all chemicals used within the European Union.

If you are a manufacturer, importer or downstream user of chemicals, you need solutions to help you work within this legislation, including software for REACH that recognises the new administrative challenges and essential actions that the regime will create.

REACH+ from Safeware Quasar is the answer. This specialist REACH software is the first in a series of modules to help companies working with chemicals achieve REACH compliance.

The REACH+ module operates within SDS Professional as a chemical analysis inventory tool that will help you to assess risks to your business and identify roles and responsibilities to help you comply with REACH, every step of the way.

REACH+ is the first in a series of planned modules, integrating with SDS Professional and the EU’s own REACH IT software systems.

Key REACH facts -

1. The EU’s chemical industry produces 31 per cent of the world’s chemicals and employs 1.7 million people.
2. By creating a single database of all chemicals used in the EU, REACH aims to:
   
   
1. better protect human health and the environment by identifying the properties of chemical substances earlier and more effectively
2. drive forward innovation and competitiveness in the chemicals industry
3. encourage the chemicals sector to research and develop safer chemicals.


3. A European Chemicals Agency in Helsinki, Finland will deal with the day-to-day management of the REACH requirements:
   
   
1. registration – chemical producers/importers must submit a registration dossier containing safety data to the chemicals agency for all chemicals produced in quantities above one tonne a year.
2. evaluation – experts evaluate safety data for higher volume chemicals and other chemicals of concern.
3. authorisation – chemicals of very high concern will be phased out and replaced by safer alternatives, where this is economically and technically viable.
