The REACH chemical Regulation requires communication by companies along the entire production chain both upwards and downwards. REACHWAY Oy offers the means whereby the process of evaluating chemicals can be handled with as little market disturbance as possible.

The aim of the chemical Regulation is to promote the safe use of chemicals, improve the protection of health and the environment and keep the EU’s chemical industry competitive.

“For companies REACH is not only authorization; it is principally a strategic matter. Only registered products will remain on the market,” emphasizes CEO Eeva Punta.

“It is a matter of who will come through the requirements, what chemicals will be produced in the future, which chemicals will be used for what purpose and how markets will be split up.”

Speed and efficiency

Reachway Oy has developed REACHWAY™ Dialog, which operates online and answers the chemical Regulation’s need for communication. The system speeds up and facilitates the communication required by the REACH process.

Dialog can be used to send questionnaires and documents to a wide array of receiver groups, manage questionnaires that have been made and sent, shape information for further processing and report the results. Every exchange of information is recorded in a database which can be used later for providing information for analysis.

“The system creates an exchange of information and controls it in a data-safe environment. The exchange can be made legally binding, it must be traceable and can be audited at any time,” Punta explains.

The amount of communication can also be minimized. The system helps in targeting questionnaires only at what is essential and in timing the exchange of information at the right point in terms of the REACH process.

The system is based on strong toxicological expertise, legal know-how in the chemical Regulation and a deep understanding of the industry’s special needs. As an expert’s IT tool, REACHWAY™ Dialog can be adopted quickly and is user-friendly.
