REACH is a European Regulation (Regulation No 1907/2006) started in 2007 to secure the manufacture and use of chemicals in the European industry. This is to identify, assess and control the use of chemicals substances in manufacturing process in European production sites.

Objectives are to protect human health and the environment from the potential risks of chemical substances. Also establish a comprenhensive and transparent information on the nature and risks of the susbtances from supplier to end customer. Secure handling of chemicals by employees in the company by requiring compliance with safety standards. Strengthen the competitiveness of industry, in particular the European chemical industry, a key sector of the economy in Europe.

A leading force of the ACSIEL - Alliance Electronique has successfully negotiated an extended authorization for the use of chromium hexavalent from 4 to 12 years, as well as extensions for the use of cadmium, black zinc nickel and composite etching. The negotiation period has lasted 4 years, and thanks to our powerful innovation and R&D team, we will be able to phase out the use of these substances without any negative impacts on production.
