Press Release: Companies are urged to start preparing for the 2013 REACH registration deadline

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) launched the 'REACH 2013 - Act Now!' campaign at the REACH Conference on 23 September 2011 to remind the industry to start preparing for the second REACH registration deadline. Companies manufacturing or importing chemicals in quantities at or above 100 tonnes per year are required to register these substances with ECHA by 31 May 2013. The REACH conference, organised by the European Commission together with the Agency, is the first event on the agenda of the 'REACH 2013 Act now!' campaign. The conference will highlight best practice and necessary improvements to ease the way for the 2013 registration deadline.
