UKRZINC CHEMICAL & METALLURGICAL PLANT

   The European Union’s (EU) new, wide-ranging overhaul of its chemical control legislation known as REACH took effect on June 1, 2007. It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances.

   The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, REACH aims to enhance innovation and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.

   The REACH Regulation places greater responsibility on industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances. Manufacturers and importers are required to gather information on the properties of their chemical substances, which will allow their safe handling, and

and to register the information in a central database run by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki. The Agency acts as the central point in the REACH system: it manages the databases necessary to operate the system, co-ordinates the in-depth evaluation of suspicious chemicals and is building up a public database in which consumers and professionals can find hazard information.

REACH replaces approx. 40 existing legal acts, 10 existing directives and EU regulations on hazardous substances and their mixtures.

UKRZINC products had been pre-registered at European Chemical Agency under the European regulation REACH, our Zinc Oxide reference number is 17-2119385454-32-0000, and now our company is under the process of final registration.
