Comprehensive regulatory support for REACH
We assist you to optimize efforts and resources necessary to fulfil obligations related to registration under REACH. As a global organization originating from the chemical industry we offer consultancy services based on our experience within the chemical industry. We have deep understanding of the REACH regulation and RIPs as well as extensive knowledge of toxicology, ecotoxicology, environmental fate and risk assessment. Expert Services are knowledge-based services marketed and sold independent of Ciba’s product business.

In Europe several multidisciplinary teams of experts are involved in the delivery of REACH services; preparing technical dossiers, chemical safety reports, authorisation dossiers, risk assessments and exposure scenario’s.
Please also consult our website for seminars on REACH, GHS and other relevant topics.
The experts in Environmental, Safety and Testing have specific expertise of chemicals: life-cycle analysis, sustainability/resource efficiency, characterisation of substances and complex formulations and phys-chem studies to assess P(BT) properties, powder safety and process safety. This expertise is available where necessary and strengthens our overall competence to issue specific client requirements.
Team work and expert judgement will offer the best available solutions, so that “Our knowledge is really your advantage”.
REACH also affects article manufacturers and importers
Articles, containing chemicals considered to be substances of very high concern (SVHC) are also affected by REACH. Certain obligations become effective, once such substances are listed on the REACH “Candidate List”. As a service to companies, not regularly following developments for chemical regulation we offer an Expert Service Information, appearing at least twice a year. The first issue explains ECHA’s process maintaining the Candidate List, finally leading to an Annex XIV listing (Substances for Authorization) and its consequences. The first issue of the REACH Candidate List Expert Services Information can be downloaded here for free.
For this very specific aspect of REACH we support our article clients through personal consultancy in the assessment of impact for their product portfolios. To receive further issues you can subscribe for an update service by contacting Rola Azzi.

Marketing your chemicals in the European Union under REACH
Actions for manufacturers outside the EU This guide describes the consequences of REACH for importers. The situation for manufacturers located outside the EU may be difficult as they may need to support substances in unfamiliar jurisdictions. This guide is designed to help companies located outside the EU, summarizes the specific implications and suggests actions to be taken to reach compliance under REACH. |
 | REACH and Downstream Users (pdf, 182 KB)
Downstream users are companies buying chemicals and using them in their production. REACH (effective since 1st June 2007) will affect them, as they are required, more than under the previous legislation, to pass information down the supply chain and to assure that their use of chemical substances is identified within the SDS. This brochure explains the consequences of REACH: obligations, business impact and actions to be taken. |
 | Preparing for REACH Guide (pdf, 168 KB)
Preparing for REACH: Guidance for Small and Medium European Manufacturers of Chemicals
There has been much discussion about the potential impact of REACH on small and medium size chemical manufacturers. They are characterized by specific features which distinguish them from large manufacturers. Some of these features could make small and medium chemical manufacturers vulnerable to the implications of REACH. This brochure is targeted specifically to these companies and suggests pro-active actions to help them comply with REACH. |
 | REACH Candidate List – Expert Services Information, Issue #1 (pdf, 174 KB)
