Promens and REACH
A proactive approach
Dear valued customer,
The European Union’s Regulation EC 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”) came into force on the 1st of June 2007 and applies to the whole value chain of the industry.
We do not add substances or use manufacturing processes in our business that requires us to pre-register or register any of our products under the REACH legislation. The registration requirement is imposed on our suppliers.
Our role is to make sure that the chemical substances we use to manufacture our packaging products are dealt with in accordance with the legislation. Please note that Promens is currently implementing procedures to accommodate the REACH rules. As part of our procedure we will approach all our suppliers, enquiring about their REACH preparations and compliance hereto. Please bear in mind that the complete list of substances classified as “of Very High Concern” (SVHC, as defined in REACH) will not be published before early in 2009 by the European Chemical Agency.
We will of course provide you with any necessary information and documentation in due course.
Please feel free to contact our local sales representatives should you have any questions or require further information.
Thank you for your trust!
