A Solution for REACH Compliance
Our Reach Compliance solution can deep-map products, and even substances within parts, to mitigate risk and ensure substances of very high concern (SVHCs) that pose a risk to humans and the environment stay out of the EU market.
REACH Compliance: Doing Business in the European Union
The Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation has been in effect since 2007 and aims to restrict the use of hazardous substances in products made and sold in the EU.

Complex Requirements Call for Complete Solutions
With hundreds of in-scope substances — and counting — on the Candidate List of SVHCs, companies are struggling to keep on top of this ever-growing list that updates twice a year, spending a vast amount of time and resources contacting suppliers and collecting information.
You need a reliable way to know when a substance is added and when substances in your parts change. Your reputation and competitive position in the industry rely on it. And if you don’t have a deep, cross-enterprise view of your supply chain, REACH non-compliance risks are significant.
The Risks of REACH Non-Compliance
Achieving REACH compliance is more than a box-ticking exercise. It’s a continuous, ongoing effort with a unique set of challenges.
The risks are substantial and the challenges can be complex:
- Access to market: Your business could lose access to the EU/UK market — and you can’t grow where you can’t go.
- Company reputation: Your brand could suffer if people or the environment are negatively impacted.
- Inability to prove compliance: Without deep visibility into your supply chain, proving that your company did its due diligence in the event of non-compliance can be difficult, if not impossible.
- Shift in focus: In the event of a compliance challenge, staff will spend time resolving the issue instead of focusing on the jobs they were hired to do.
- Unanticipated delays: Compliance issues could cause delays that will have lasting implications for your supply chain.

Identify the REACH Risks in Your Supply Chain
Strong data keeps your business safe. Maintaining REACH compliance isn’t easy, but you can take steps to streamline the process and gain insights deep into your supply chain.
The REACH Handbook will help you determine whether you’re in scope of the regulation and how to leverage your company’s data to prepare your supply chain for new SVHCs and get the expertise needed to manage SVHC data and maintain market access.
