Since 2001, Tetra Tech has assisted more than 2,000 companies in complying with EU environmental regulations, including REACH, Restrictions on the Uses of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (ELV). Tetra Tech provides consulting, training, and data management solutions to help clients meet legislative mandates and operate their businesses in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner.
Using resources within our North American and EU-based offices, Tetra Tech is in a unique position to help multi-national companies understand new REACH requirements and the impact they have on business. Our services include:
- Turnkey Product Registration: Tetra Tech can arrange for an “Only-Representative” scenario where you and your customer do not need to incur the legal obligations that apply to an importer. This is a way of differentiating yourself from competitors as essentially full REACH compliance is outsourced and your customers need not worry about risks of noncompliance.
- SVHC Inventories: Since 2001, Tetra Tech has conducted EU regulation substance inventories for hundreds of manufacturers. With REACH, our approach is to first leverage any of your existing Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), RoHS/ELV, and other environmental data. We then compare your existing data with the data needed for REACH compliance. We rapidly conduct a substance inventory with your supply chain, compile this information into a database, and fill the gaps needed for REACH compliance. By using existing data, we substantially lower your costs for REACH compliance because you do not need to reinvent the wheel.
- REACH Compliance Database Implementations: The mountain of substance data that is generated in the course of REACH compliance requires an intelligent solution for data management. Our approach is to work with software to manage your data through a combination of automation and expert analysis. This approach is a rational solution for minimizing the time and effort for compliance determination and report generation, without sacrificing data integrity.
