FSPA's REACH seminar to alert industry in December
The Federation of Sports and Play Associations alert the industry to the impact of the new (EU) REACH Regulation on suppliers of footwear and apparel.
The new regulation will have significant implications for companies that use chemicals in quantities above 1 tonne to manufacture products in the EU or import products into the EU. A vast range of products, including apparel and footwear which contain dyes and other chemical preparations, will be affected.
No manufacturer or importer can manufacture or place on the market in the EU articles containing chemicals, unless they have been registered under REACH. This means that manufacturers and importers will have to identify and quantify chemicals used in their products and assess how much could be released, and if necessary check whether it has been registered, and if not get it registered
It is important that manufacturers and importers give careful consideration to pre-registering substances during the Pre-Registration window, which extends from 1 June 2008 to 1 December 2008.
The FSPA has arranged a seminar focusing on the new regulation and have engaged guest speaker Luisa Leone of Hewitsons to give invaluable advice and information, tailored to the Sports Industry on the impact and implications of the new regulation.
The seminar will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday 4th December 2007 at Federation House Stoneleigh, and is free to all Federation members. Non members are welcome to attend at a cost of £45.00 per delegate, a complimentary networking lunch will be provided prior to the seminar.
