REACH



The REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and Council has been in force since 1 June 2007.

Under REACH, any entity that manufactures or imports a substance from outside the EU, either on its own or contained in a preparation, in quantities of one tonne or more per year, is required to register it with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

According to Article 59 of REACH, substances listed in the so-called “Candidate List” are classified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). These substances may have serious impacts on human health and the environment. Substances on the Candidate List may be subject to authorisation by decision of the European Commission. The updated list of SVHCs can be accessed via the following link:

In accordance with Article 31(1) of REACH, suppliers of substances or preparations must provide the recipient with a safety data sheet if a substance, on its own or as part of the preparation, is included in the Candidate List.

Under Article 33 of REACH, suppliers of articles containing one or more substances from the Candidate List at a concentration above 0.1% (w/w) must provide sufficient information, including at a minimum the name of the relevant substance.

According to Article 67 of REACH, substances, whether on their own, in a mixture, or in an article, for which restrictions are specified in Annex XVII, may not be manufactured, placed on the market, or used unless they comply with the conditions of those restrictions.

In line with these requirements, ITALFIL S.p.A. is committed to monitoring its entire supply chain by obtaining specific information from its suppliers.

We therefore request that our suppliers provide sufficient information to allow ITALFIL S.p.A. to determine whether:

• All chemical substances, either on their own or as components of preparations or articles, that fall under REACH have been duly registered.
• The products supplied contain any substances classified as SVHC, and in any case, at concentrations exceeding 0.1% by weight.
• The products supplied contain substances subject to the use restrictions established under Article 67 and listed in Annex XVII of REACH.
