REACH

We have and will actively support the objectives of REACH for Europe and similar legislation/regulations for other non-EU regions.
The entire INEOS organization, including our operations based in Europe, Asia, the U.S. or other geographies, has actively supported the implementation of REACH as an effective legislation in the spirit of which it was designed – to protect human health and the environment by providing information across the supply chain supporting the safe use of chemicals and chemical substances. We can confirm that all products we place on the EU market are compliant with REACH; substances have been registered by INEOS or INEOS’s suppliers, where applicable.
Additional compliance commitments outside Europe
K-REACH, Korea’s Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemical Substance (AREC), is similar to REACH (applied in Europe), having similar requirements and impact to the future availability of chemicals supplied within Korea. Specific substances require to be pre-registered and registered.
Pre-registration deadline: 30 June 2019
Registration deadline: ultimately by December 31, 2030 with 4 deadlines depending on tonnage band
As a major supplier of chemical substances in Korea, our first priority is to comply with the K-REACH regulation as well as to ensure the supply of goods to our customers is not disrupted. INEOS teams are in place and committed to cooperating with our customers and suppliers to support the successful implementation of K-REACH. This includes coordinating the exchange of information across the supply chain, from suppliers and manufacturers to customers and end users.
To support our customers in Korea, we have appointed INEOS Korea REACH Co. as our Only Representative.
