Q1: How well prepared is Akcros for the implementation of REACH?
A: Akcros has been working for some time on REACH and has already confirmed that it will be pre-registering all its substances as required under the legislation during the second half of 2008. It is already working within industry sectors groups such as ESPA and EEVA to prepare for the submission of data and registrations beyond this. While understanding the challenges that REACH presents to the chemical industry, Akcros is confident that the range of products available to its customers will not be materially impacted by this new legislation.
