REACh – the chemicals legislation of the European Union

The abbreviation REACh stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances. The “REACh Regulation” was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (EU) and entered into force on 1 June 2007. As a “Regulation (EC)” it applies directly in all Member States of the EU and there is no need for a transposition into national law.

The IKW/IHO Working Group “REACH” has drafted a text which includes a compact description of the most important basics of the new chemicals legislation of the European Union. The paper can be downloaded in German as a PDF file here.

Statistics

Statistics Cookies collect information anonymously. This information helps us understand how our visitors use our website.

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization
For analysis with Matomo we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

 

Analysis without cookies
We have configured Matomo in such a way that Matomo will only store cookies in your browser if you have agreed to it.

Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
