Book excerpt: Abstract: REACH, the new EU Regulation on chemicals, implies a significant restructuring and enlargement in the field of chemicals regulation, and thus also of enforcement. The importance of the Forum for enforcement included in REACH for a good implementation of REACH was early recognised. In 2006 the Nordic Chemicals Group and the Netherlands granted funds to start a joint EU project on enforcement of REACH. The aim of the project was to: - Identify present enforcement and new needs due to REACH - Investigate the state of preparation of the Member States and start preparing for the operative work of the Forum - Elaborate work division, co-operation and information exchange - Prepare a draft proposal for Rules of Procedure for the Forum - Develop a compendium of useful enforcement methods The project has resulted in several independent reports that are included in this final report. A presentation of the results has been given by the project at the 1st meeting of the Forum 11 December 2007

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Chemicals Agency's Enforcement Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement (ECHA Forum) has finalised its ninth REACH-EN-FORCE (REF-9) project, where the compliance with REACH authorisation obligations was assessed. This was an EU-wide enforcement project including EEA countries carried out during 2021 in 28 countries. National enforcement authorities completed 690 inspections on substances suspected to be covered by a substance entry from Annex XIV to the REACH Regulation in 516 companies. 43 different substance entries listed in Annex XIV were addressed as part of these inspections. In this project report, 502 substance inspections in 404 companies are presented and analysed. In these inspections, inspectors could confirm that the inspected substance is a substance listed in Annex XIV and is placed on the market or is used at the time the inspection was conducted. 31 different Annex XIV substances were actually addressed in these 502 substance inspections with chromium trioxide and strontium chromate the two most frequently inspected substances.

This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Chemicals Agency's Enforcement Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement (Forum) has finalised its eighth REACH-EN-FORCE (REF) project, where the compliance of certain CLP, REACH and BPR duties related to substances, mixtures and articles sold online were assessed. This was an EU-wide enforcement project carried out during 2020 in 29 countries of the EEA and Switzerland (BPR duties only). When inspecting the offers of products sold online, inspectors could evaluate their compliance with: the CLP Regulation in regard to: o i) whether the online advertisement of a hazardous mixture provides information to the customer about the type of hazard as indicated on the label; or o ii) for hazardous substances, whether the customer is informed about the hazard class and/or the applicable hazard category; the REACH obligation for the most updated version of the safety data sheet (SDS) to be supplied/available with the hazardous substance or mixture for industrial/professional uses in an official language of the receiving Member State or upon request; specific entries of REACH Annex XVII: products or articles containing restricted substances such as cadmium and nickel in jewellery, phthalates in childcare products and toys and CMRs7 (the full list of restrictions assessed in this project can be found in Table 3b); and BPR duties, which were assessed by checking the online advertisement of the biocidal product (BP) and whether it was the sale of an authorised BP or made available under transitional measures. This report outlines the project, conclusions and recommendations for companies, the Enforcement Forum, national authorities, the European Commission and the public. The project targeted all potential companies (web shops and marketplaces) selling or mediating online hazardous substances, mixtures, biocidal products or articles subject to REACH, CLP and/or BPR requirements (private sellers excluded). Member States/inspectors decided which regulations to investigate under this project, depending on their own national enforcement strategy and the division of authorities' responsibilities. The inspected companies were situated within the enforcement authority's own country, within the EU or outside the EU.
Download or read book Nordic enforcement project on give away products written by Veulemans, Mathieu and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nordic chemicals agencies have jointly controlled the Nordic market of give-away products. These products were controlled against the requirements of several EU-legislations (REACH Regulation, Toy Safety Directive, RoHS Directive, POPs Regulation and the Battery Directive). The results show that economic operators lack knowledge of the applicable requirements, as well as lacking understanding of the extent of their obligations. They are missing appropriate systems to comply with the rules. Nevertheless, the Nordic chemicals agencies have observed an interest from business organisations to be better at understanding and complying with the applicable rules. This joint enforcement project has also contributed to creating closer collaboration between the Nordic chemicals agencies resulting in sharing more information and ensuring better resource efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only book to not only discuss the technicalities of the European REACH chemicals registration process, but also to directly address the resulting business risks and business solutions. In this text for practitioners, the author pulls together the key knowledge needed to successfully run a business under REACH, distilling thousands of pages of official documentation, and incorporating experiences from different-sized enterprises in a global context. Starting with the basics of the REACH framework, she explains the entire process on how to register with the European ECHA office with a particular emphasis on small and medium-sized businesses. Along the way, she describes key milestones and presents sample documents from real case studies. The final part of the book addresses strategies to ensure a reach-compliant operation, including recommendations for in-house processes as well as communicating with suppliers and downstream users. As a result, managers in the pharmaceuticals and chemicals industries will learn how to operate their companies in full compliance with REACH standards.
Download or read book The Enforcement of EU Law and Values written by András Jakab and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear that the current crisis of the EU is not confined to the Eurozone and the EMU, evidenced in its inability to ensure the compliance of Member States to follow the principles and values underlying the integration project in Europe (including the protection of democracy, the Rule of Law, and human rights). This defiance has affected the Union profoundly, and in a multi-faceted assessment of this phenomenon, The Enforcement of EU Law and Values: Ensuring Member States' Compliance, dissects the essence of this crisis, examining its history and offering coping methods for the years to come. Defiance is not a new concept and this volume explores the richness of EU-level and national-level examples of historical defiance – the French Empty Chair policy–, the Luxembourg compromise, and the FPÖ crisis in Austria - and draws on the experience of the US legal system and that of the integration projects on other continents. Building on this legal-political context, the book focuses on the assessment of the adequacy of the enforcement mechanisms whilst learning from EU integration history. Structured in four parts, the volume studies (1) theoretical issues on defiance in the context of multi-layered legal orders, (2) EU mechanisms of acquis and values' enforcement, (3) comparative perspective on law-enforcement in multi-layered legal systems, and (4) case-studies of defiance in the EU.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU law and governance have faced a new development – the proliferation of EU enforcement authorities, which have grown in number over the last 15 years. These entities, either acting alone or together with national enforcement authorities, have been investigating and sanctioning private actors on their compliance with EU law. Law Enforcement by EU Authorities investigates whether the system of control (in terms of both judicial and political accountability) has evolved to support the new system of law enforcement in the EU.

Download or read book Chemical Risk Assessment written by Peter Fisk and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an essential guide and support to understanding of the science and policy, procedure and practice that underpins the REACH risk assessments required for the use and placing on the market of chemicals in the European Union. A clear understanding of information provision and how this affects the assessment of chemical safety is fundamentally important to the success of policy on chemicals and ultimately to the sustainability of the chemicals industry. Within the book, the scientific processes that underpin the policy are explained in a practical way. Importantly, it includes coverage of techniques to help solve the problems of using potentially risky and hazardous chemicals through the use of less hazardous alternatives and ‘green chemistry’, and also the analysis of the risks of the use of the most hazardous substances against the social and economic benefits of use. Chemical Risk Assessment: A Manual for REACH covers the following main themes: i) Assessment of chemical risk; ii) Risk management; iii) Hazard reduction, substitution and green chemistry; iv) Risk versus benefit – socio-economic analysis. The book acts as a practical guide and overview to chemicals risk assessment and risk management (in the EU context), as well as a support text for planning for the challenges of the future, which will see ever-increasing pressure to withdraw hazardous substances from the EU (and global) market, balanced against opportunities for innovation in the development of less hazardous chemicals.

This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the documentation from the project "Expanding the Scope of the EuP Directive", financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers for the Environment. The project was kick-started by the adoption the ErP Directive (Directive 2009/125/EC). The recast means that Energy-related Products now are included in the scope of the. With this expansion of the scope to energy related products, focus is put on interesting issues, which have already been discussed in relation to Sustainable Consumption and Production in the EU. This concern: How can a common information platform be ensured, which can feed the setting of requirements for both energy- and eco-labelling, green procurement guidelines and performance requirements in for instance the ErP Directive? How is an optimal synergy between the minimum performance requirements in the ErP Directive, the energy labelling of all products and incentives for front-runner companies through eco-labels? The aim of this project was to organise a Workshop on Ecodesign and Resource Efficiency. The intention was to bring leading experts and other interested stakeholders together to discuss these issues. The Nordic perspective of the conference should be a common understanding of (1) how the ErP Directive and especially the Implementing measures could be changed to include more environmental requirements than just energy efficiency, (2) how the different ecodesign directives can supplement each other, (3) how a common information platform for IPP instruments can be realised and (4) how a synergy between minimum performance standards and energy- and ecolabels can be established.

Download or read book Analysis of needs for enforcement of PFAS in articles and chemical products written by Krause, Maren and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2024-510/ Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of substances that have been widely used for decades due to their surface-active properties. However, their characteristic resistance to degradation in combination with other properties of concern for human health and the environment has resulted in regulatory actions such as restrictions towards this group of substances, in the EU and globally. Compliance with restrictions as well as enforcement by authorities is key to reduce intentional use of restricted PFAS in articles and chemical products. To analyse PFAS accurately, robust and reliable analytical methods are required. This report evaluates the current situation related to PFAS-analyses and enforcement (including challenges and needs) and propose measures/strategies to enable and/or improve enforcement of, and compliance with current and future, PFAS restrictions.
