REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals.

Understanding REACH
REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of tests on animals.

In principle, REACH applies to all chemical substances; not only those used in industrial processes but also in our day-to-day lives, for example in cleaning products, paints as well as in articles such as clothes, furniture, and electrical appliances. Therefore, the regulation has an impact on most companies across the EU.

REACH places the burden of proof on companies. To comply with the regulation, companies must identify and manage the risks linked to the substances they manufacture and market in the EU. They have to demonstrate to ECHA how the substance can be safely used, and they must communicate the risk management measures to the users.

If the risks cannot be managed, authorities can restrict the use of substances in different ways. In the long run, the most hazardous substances should be substituted with less dangerous ones.

How does REACH work?
REACH establishes procedures for collecting and assessing information on the properties and hazards of substances.

Companies need to register their substances and to do this they need to work together with other companies who are registering the same substance.

ECHA receives and evaluates individual registrations for their compliance, and the EU Member States evaluate selected substances to clarify initial concerns for human health or for the environment. Authorities and ECHA’s scientific committees assess whether the risks of substances can be managed.

Authorities can ban hazardous substances if their risks are unmanageable. They can also decide to restrict a use or make it subject to prior authorization.

REACH’s effect on companies
REACH impacts a wide range of companies across many sectors, even those who may not think of themselves as being involved with chemicals.

In general, under REACH you may have one of these roles:

Manufacturer: If you make chemicals, either to use yourself or to supply to other people (even if it is for export), then you will probably have some important responsibilities under REACH.

Importer: If you buy anything from outside the EU/EEA, you are likely to have some responsibilities under REACH. It may be individual chemicals, mixtures for onwards sales or finished products, like clothes, furniture or plastic goods.

Downstream users: Most companies use chemicals, sometimes even without realizing it, therefore you need to check your obligations if you handle any chemicals in your industrial or professional activity. You might have some responsibilities under REACH.

Companies established outside the EU: If you are a company established outside the EU, you are not bound by the obligations of REACH, even if you export their products into the customs territory of the European Union. The responsibility for fulfilling the requirements of REACH, such as registration lies with the importers established in the European Union, or with the only representative of a non-EU manufacturer established in the European Union.
REACH is a European Regulation and is an acronym for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals. The overall aims of REACH are to:

Provide a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the use of chemicals
Allow free movement of substances on the EU market
Enhance innovation and the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry
Reduce animal testing by promoting the use of alternative methods of assessing chemicals
REACH entered into force on 1st June 2007 and replaced a large number of European Directives and Regulations in a single system

Caution!  – Lithium Polymer Batteries

In order to prevent the Lithium Polymer Battery possibly occurs leaks, overheat, swollen, please note the preventive measure.

Handling Precautions and Guideline:

1.

When charge please select the lithium-polymer battery special battery charger.

2.

Strictly prohibits inverting the cathode use Lithium Polymer Battery.

3.

Strictly prohibits directly connect Lithium Polymer Battery to power source plug

4.

Please do not throw the Lithium Polymer Battery to water or put into heater

5.

Strictly prohibits plunging the Lithium Polymer Battery in sea water or water, when Lithium Polymer Battery do not use, please store Lithium Polymer Battery in the cool-dry environment.

6.

The prohibition in strong static electricity and strong magnetic field place use, otherwise is easy to destroy the Lithium Polymer Battery PCBA

7.

The prohibition puts the Lithium Polymer Battery nearby the hot high temperature source, like the fire, the heater and so on use and leaves alone

8.

The prohibition directly connects the Lithium Polymer Battery cathode with the metal to short-circuit.

9.

The prohibition rap or throws, steps on the Lithium Polymer Battery and soon

10.

Forbids directly to weld the Lithium Polymer Battery and pierces the Lithium Polymer Battery with the nail or other sharp weapons

11.

If the Lithium Polymer Battery sends out the unusual smell, gives off heat, the distortion or appears any exceptionally, immediately moves the Lithium Polymer Battery from the installment or the battery charger to and stops using

12.

If the Lithium Polymer Battery occurs leaks, the electrolyte enters eye, please do not have to rub scratches, the application clear water flushing eye, and delivers the medical treatment otherwise to be able immediately to injure the eye

13.

When Lithium Polymer Battery long-term storage, or assembly in the host, suggest customer should take every 6months carry on one time charge and discharge and recharge it to half charge state (3.7-3.9V)(the method: 0.2CmA charge and discharge)

14.

Abandon the battery to wrap up the electrode using the insulating paper, prevented the Lithium Polymer Battery short-circuits

15.

Do not decompose the Lithium Polymer Battery

16.

Keep small LiPo cells and Lithium Polymer Batteries which are considered swallowable out of the reach of children

17.

Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 h of ingestion

18.

In case of ingestion of a LiPo cell or Lithium Polymer Battery, seek medical assistance promptly.
