I. Isingeniso Sokugunyazwa

I-REACH, kafushane ethi "Ukubhalisa, Ukuhlola, Ukugunyazwa Nokukhawulelwa Kwamakhemikhali," umthethonqubo we-European Union wokulawulwa kokuvimbela kwawo wonke amakhemikhali angena emakethe yawo. Yaqalwa ngo-June 1, 2007, isebenza njengohlelo lokulawula amakhemikhali oluhlanganisa ukuphepha kokukhiqizwa kwamakhemikhali, ukuhweba, kanye nokusetshenziswa. Lo mthethonqubo uhlose ukuvikela impilo yabantu kanye nokuphepha kwemvelo, ukugcina kanye nokuthuthukisa ukuncintisana kwemboni yamakhemikhali yaseYurophu, ukukhuthaza ukuqanjwa okusha ekuthuthukisweni kwezinhlanganisela ezingenabuthi nezingenabungozi, ukwandisa ukubonakala ekusetshenzisweni kwamakhemikhali, nokuphishekela intuthuko yomphakathi esimeme. Umyalelo we-REACH udinga ukuthi wonke amakhemikhali angenisiwe noma akhiqizwe e-Europe enze inqubo ebanzi yokubhaliswa, ukuhlola, ukugunyazwa, kanye nemikhawulo ukuze kutholakale kangcono izingxenye zamakhemikhali, ngaleyo ndlela kuqinisekiswe ukuphepha kwemvelo kanye nabantu.

II. Izifunda Ezisebenzayo

Amazwe angama-27 angamalungu e-European Union: i-United Kingdom (ihoxile ku-EU ngo-2016), i-France, iJalimane, i-Italy, i-Netherlands, i-Belgium, i-Luxembourg, i-Denmark, i-Ireland, i-Greece, i-Spain, i-Portugal, i-Austria, i-Sweden, i-Finland, i-Cyprus, i-Hungary, i-Czech Republic, i-Estonia, i-Latvia, i-Lithuania, i-Malta, i-Poland, i-Slovakia, i-Slovenia, i-Romania, i-Romania.

III. Ububanzi bomkhiqizo

Ububanzi bomthetho we-REACH bubanzi, buhlanganisa cishe yonke imikhiqizo yezentengiso ngaphandle kokudla, okuphakelayo, nemikhiqizo yezokwelapha. Imikhiqizo yabathengi efana nezingubo nezicathulo, ubucwebe, imikhiqizo kagesi nekagesi, amathoyizi, ifenisha, kanye nemikhiqizo yezempilo nobuhle konke kungaphakathi kwendawo yomthetho we-REACH.

IV. Izidingo zesitifiketi

1. Ukubhalisa

Zonke izinto zamakhemikhali ezinokukhiqizwa konyaka noma umthamo wokungenisa ezweni owedlula ithani elingu-1 zidinga ukubhaliswa. Ukwengeza, izinto zamakhemikhali ezinokukhiqizwa konyaka noma umthamo wokungenisa ongaphezu kwamathani ayi-10 kufanele zilethe umbiko wokuphepha kwamakhemikhali.

2. Ukuhlola

Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukuhlolwa kombhalo kanye nokuhlolwa kwezinto. Ukuhlolwa kwedokodo kubandakanya ukuqinisekisa ukuphelela nokuvumelana kwamadokhumenti okubhalisa athunyelwe amabhizinisi. Ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa kusho ukuqinisekisa ubungozi obulethwa amakhemikhali empilweni yomuntu kanye nemvelo.

3. Ukugunyazwa

Ukukhiqizwa nokungeniswa kwezinto zamakhemikhali ezinezakhiwo ezithile eziyingozi ezibangela ukukhathazeka okukhulu, okuhlanganisa i-CMR, PBT, vPvB, njll., kudinga ukugunyazwa.

4. Ukuvinjelwa

Uma kuthathwa ngokuthi ukwakhiwa, ukubekwa emakethe, noma ukusetshenziswa kwento, ukulungiswa kwayo, noma izihloko zayo kubeka engcupheni impilo yomuntu kanye nemvelo engakwazi ukulawulwa ngokwanele, ukukhiqizwa kwayo noma ukungenisa ngaphakathi kwe-European Union kuzokhawulelwa.
