The new legislation regarding
chemicals (EC 1907/2006) came into force
effective 01 June 2007 and affects all
companies producing, importing, using or
placing products on to the European Market
The aim of REACH is to ensure a high level
of protection to human health and the
environment from chemical substances. The
regulations will give greater responsibility
to industry to manage the risk presented by
chemicals and to provide safety information
on all substances. The benefits of REACH
will become apparent as more and more
substances are phased into REACH.
It is intended that all substances that
require registration will be pre-registered
by our upstream suppliers. Subsequently ,
it is intended that all substances which
require registration will be registered,
within the timescales illustrated by the
Regulations.
At present, there is no plan to withdraw
any product as a result of registration
issues, and we have not been informed of any
material withdrawals via our supply chain.
Koito Czech s.r.o. is fully committed to
meeting all of the legal obligations placed
under REACH, and have taken steps to ensure
that the implementation of REACH is managed
efficiently by appointing responsible
persons to co-ordinate REACH activity.
