“TNO is proud to partner with SABIC Europe in the registration of their petrochemicals portfolio under REACH. We see the signing of this contract with SABIC Europe as a significant step forward in achieving our goal to be one of the primary knowledge providers in the developing REACH market.
We are sure that the cooperation with SABIC Europe, in the successful registration of their substances under REACH, will be a mutually beneficial experience, with both companies striving for a high quality standard,” according to Kees Ekkers, Managing Director TNO Quality of Life.
By 1st December 2008, the pre-registration of substances, the next phase of REACH, needs to be completed. SABIC is preparing to comply with REACH; it has all the processes in place to provide ECHA with high quality dossiers for all substances in the company portfolio, within the granted timeline.
“SABIC fully endorses the REACH objectives, which entirely match our QESH (Quality, Environment, Safety and Health) policy. Our key messages in relation to REACH are 'Caring, Sharing and Preparing'.
As a responsible manufacturer and importer of chemicals, SABIC cares for the safety and health of people and the environment and compliance with REACH is seen merely as a logical step. Beyond meeting requirements, SABIC is also anticipating to answer the needs of future generations”, Kees Aartsen adds.
