Lander (http://svhc.cemark.com.cn), the leading provider of quality and safety solutions has expanded their network of laboratories providing comprehensive testing services for REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in order to help clients access the necessary testing services needed to determine their level of exposure following the announcement from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) that 15 (from the originally proposed 16) substances will be included on the REACH SVHC Candidate List, to be published on the ECHA website in late-October 2008. The European Union REACH Regulation has mandatory requirements to declare SVHCs in products present in concentrations of 0.1% by weight.
Customers in the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East now have specialized SVHC test capability available regionally through Lander’s global network of analytical laboratories.
Lander’s SVHC Services Include:
- Comprehensive screening and testing of products for SVHCs exceeding 0.1% w/w
- Custom test plans for complex or large products
- Product risk assessments
- Preparation of SVHC disclosure forms
- Provision of standard and custom lists of SVHC chemicals
Lander’s SVHC testing laboratories use modern analytical, quantification, and de-formulation techniques for consumer and professional products, covering all industries such as, but not limited to, electrical and electronics, aerospace and automotive, life science and medical, building products, retail products, chemicals, textiles, and toys.
