REACh is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their
safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation,
and Authorisation of Chemical substances. REACh is administered
by the European Chemical Agency (EChA).
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. is fully aware of the requirements of REACh,
the new European Union (EU) Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation
and Authorisation of Chemicals and the dates by which various activities
must be implemented. It is our intention to assist our customers and
suppliers in full compliance with the legal requirements of REACh.
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. is a United States based distributor (reseller)
of plastic materials in sheet, rod, tube, and a producer of machined
parts forms only. No formulating, compounding, mixing, production,
melting, or other chemical change of plastic materials is performed by
our company. As such, Boedeker Plastics, Inc. is classified as a
distributor and a downstream user under the REACh definitions and
therefore we are not required to pre-register or register any products
or formulations.
It is our intention to:
Identify all substances within the products we sell, to the best
of our ability, and encourage our suppliers (manufacturers or
distributors) to pre-register these substances with the ECHA
and/or the proper EU authorities as required by REACh.
Communicate sufficient information to relevant stakeholders in
order to provide information on identified uses of the products
we sell within the meaning of REACH.
Follow instructions on Safety Data Sheets and information provided
on exposure scenarios.
Provide our customers with information regarding hazards, risks
and safe conditions of use of the products we sell via the
manufacturers’ Material Safety Data Sheets.
If you have additional questions concerning Boedeker Plastics’ position on
REACh compliance, or any of the plastic materials that you purchase from our
company, please contact us by phone at 361-594-2941 or by e-mail to
bpi@boedeker.com.
