Reach Regulation

Featured Case Study - Screening can helps identify assembly problem

As an ISO14001 accredited manufacturer, Precision Micro recognise the need to comply with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals(REACH). This regulation came in to force June 2007 and covers health and environmental dangers.

We have prepared a brief statement to explain our position regarding this regulation.

Statement

Precision Micro Ltd is aware of the requirements of REACH and recognises the need for compliance.
Precision Micro Ltd only supplies finished goods and does not supply any customer with substances or preparations as part of its business. Therefore, there are no substances to be pre-registered on behalf of any of our customers.
Precision Micro is not a manufacturer or importer of "substances" (on their own or in "preparations") and, therefore does not have registration obligations under REACH.

However, we are aware suppliers cannot sell to us if they have not Pre-registered their chemicals under REACH. This may be that it is not economic for the supplier to register or the supplier does not know the purpose of the product.

Therefore, we will be writing to all our suppliers listing the chemicals and preparations used in our process, the use to which they are put and seek confirmation that they have all been registered.
