Lunch Meeting
 

“REACH – Product Regulatory Compliance –

Upcoming Changes that Will Impact Your Exporting”
 
 

The CSCMP luncheon presentation will include a brief overview of Product Regulatory Requirements that affect the exportation of products (referred to as articles), and will focus specifically on REACH. REACH is a new European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals. It came into force on 1st June 2007 and replaces a number of European Directives and Regulations with a single system.

 

What’s in your product? When it comes to REACH, that question is more important than ever. REACH targets hazardous substances in products – so called substances of very high concern (SVHC). If your products contain SVHC, then you may have immediate legal obligations to report it. Longer term, the viability of your products may be threatened if they contain SVHC. The SVHC list currently stands at 29 and is expected to double every 6 months and could reach 1000+ SVHC that you are responsible for.

 

 

REACH touches the entire supply chain. Any discrete manufacturer that exports its product is already affected by this regulation and it promises to get more complex as it grows and changes. Because of its complexity, REACH is scheduled to be implemented over an 11 year period. It’s here to stay!

 

The EU is scrambling to be in compliance, but there is little knowledge of REACH outside of the US Tier 1 Corporations. The consensus is that this will become domestic policy fairly soon, so today is the right time to get your arms around this “Medusa” known as REACH.

 

The main benefit of complying with these regulations is the ability to ship your product. Non-conformance implications are simple; No conformance documentation – no ship, no market!

 

Mark Kuhl has 25+ years experience in Medical Device Supply Chain management including stints at St. Jude Medical and Smiths Medical. He graduated from the U of Minnesota with a BS in Business. Mark has a very strong interest in Regulatory Compliance regulations as they apply to all industries.

 

Dick Christensen is a Regulatory Solutions Manager at EAC in Burnsville, MN. He is a UW-Stout graduate with a BS in Industrial Technology,  Dick invested 27 years in print communication sales before switching disciplines, and now focuses on providing Quality Management solutions for the MedTech industry and Product Environmental Compliance for all discrete manufacturers.  EAC is a Platinum Partner with PTC, and specializes in product development, implementation services, training, and provides software solutions for CAD, data management, environmental compliance and product analytics.

 

Help develop your company’s strategy in working towards compliance of REACH regulations. By attending this luncheon you will gain an understanding of these Product Environmental Compliance issues, the benefits of compliance and the dangers of non-compliance. You will also have access to a free analysis of on how REACH may affect your company’s future.
