Ensure compliance with EU REACH regulations for handcrafted horn and bone products. Learn about substance registration, evaluation, and restriction.

The EU REACH regulation (REACH Regulation) is a crucial aspect of exporting handcrafted horn and bone products to the European Union. As a wholesale buyer, it is essential to understand the requirements for substance registration, evaluation, and restriction to ensure compliance.

According to the REACH Regulation, manufacturers and importers of chemical substances must register them with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This includes substances used in the production of handcrafted horn and bone products. Wholesale buyers should ensure that their suppliers have registered the necessary substances and provided the required documentation.

The EU REACH regulation restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in products. Wholesale buyers should be aware of these restrictions and ensure that their suppliers comply with them. For example, the use of certain heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, is restricted in the EU. Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH) provides guidance on complying with EU regulations.

We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that all substances used in our products are registered and compliant with EU regulations.
