The Adventus Group Confirms Pre-Registration with REACH European Regulations
All products in full accordance with current regulatory obligations
LONDON, United Kingdom (January, 2009). The European Regulation REACH1 concerning
the production, distribution and use of chemicals within the European Union, has recently entered
into force. This regulation provides a series of technical requirements for every company that
produces imports or uses chemicals within the EU, or that produces articles that may release
substances as part of their normal life cycle.
As a manufacturer/importer of chemical products, Adventus Group is fully compliant with the
requirements of REACH. Further details of our pre-registration and compliance information are
available from Adventus upon request. The REACH legislation also presents a number of requirements
with which the users of chemicals/chemical products are obliged to comply - this would include by
definition our European clients/prospective clients. Formal guidance for end users is provided by
the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)2.
We specifically draw your attention to the following responsibilities as specified by the ECHA
End User Guidance3:
- Not to place on the market any substances which are not registered in accordance with REACH.
- To make sure that your suppliers are aware of REACH and comply with their own requirements
under REACH, obtaining a statement to that end with a confirmation that pre-registration has
taken place.
- To follow the instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and in the 'exposure
scenarios' that may be associated with these, that will be provided by your supplier. Safety
information for all our products is available here.
The Adventus Group remains committed to meeting the technical and legal requirements of all our
products. All
ADVENTUS products have been pre-registered in full accordance
with the REACH regulations, thereby allowing their continued use within the EU.
Please note that from 1st December 2008 onward it is illegal to sell or purchase chemicals or
chemical products that have not been formally pre-registered under REACH. Please do not hesitate
to contact us should you require any further information regarding the REACH regulations or our
products or services.

2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical
