Nazdar Pre-Registers for Reach Compliance

Tuesday 23. December 2008 - Nazdar, a major manufacturer of screen and digital printing inks, has completed the pre-registration process in accordance with REACH, the European Unionís Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals legislation.

Pre-registering by the December 1 deadline allows Nazdar to take advantage of the transitional periods granted by this legislation.

Going forward, Nazdar will begin the evaluation of substances registration in accordance with the schedule provided by REACH. Based on specific criteria (e.g. quantities imported), this schedule provides three deadlines (2010, 2013 and 2018) for registration. Currently it is estimated that applicable substances used by Nazdar will not need to be registered until 2018.

“Nazdar is committed to meeting its legal obligations under REACH and has spent substantial time and effort to understand this complex regulation and determine the best way to ensure compliance with REACH”, according to Erik Reed, Manager of Regulatory Compliance for Nazdar. “In addition to supplying the highest quality products and service to our customers, Nazdar is committed to protecting the environment and to our responsibility as a global corporate citizen.”
