Course Overview

REACH Practical Implementation is designed to provide industry professionals with an overview of the most timely and pertinent Technical Guidance available. While this two-day course assumes that attendees bring with them some introductory knowledge of REACH, a brief overview of the Regulation is provided and key terms reviewed over the day. Topics may vary, but will include a how-to demonstration of REACH Navigator (a tool maintained by the European Chemicals Agency), an introduction to IUCLID5, and an overview of Substance Identification. Other topics including available technical guidance on polymers, intermediates, scientific research and development and PPORD, articles, Substances of Very High Concern and information requirements will be addressed as well. Both days conclude each with a workshop designed to challenge attendees with their understanding of the topics discussed throughout both days. The Practical Implementation course is essentially designed to utilize the technical guidance documents as textbooks and the workshops as an opportunity to put the guidance to work. As time and topic choice allows, upon conclusion of the course, students should be able to identify mono-constituent and multi-constituent substances in terms of REACH requirements, “calculate” information requirements for substances whose tonnages vary over several uses, competently use REACH Navigator to generate lists of requirements, identify some of the basic functions of IUCLID5, analyze and identify requirements for polymers and monomers, and be able to identify and fulfill data requirements.

Typically offered on consecutive days, REACH Essentials and REACH Practical Implementation, when taken together, provide attendees with the necessary tools to begin implementing compliance to this very intricate and complex Regulation. While not required, it is recommended that attendees take REACH Essentials prior to the Practical Implementation course.
