EU REACH Compliance & Substance Assessment
Ensuring product safety and environmental responsibility under the European Union’s REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) is essential to maintaining market access and brand integrity. Heurnova Consulting provides end-to-end REACH compliance support — from substance identification and supplier communication to dossier preparation and ongoing regulatory updates.
Our approach begins with detailed chemical inventory analysis and material composition reviews to identify Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) and restricted materials. We then assist in risk assessment, data collection, and communication across your supply chain to ensure transparency and traceability. Whether you need to register a substance, assess potential exemptions, or prepare technical documentation, our experts streamline the process with precision and clarity.
We integrate REACH compliance seamlessly into your existing Quality or Environmental Management System, aligning it with other regulatory requirements such as RoHS and MDR where applicable. Through proactive monitoring of regulatory updates and substance restrictions, we help your organization maintain compliance, reduce risk exposure, and safeguard both users and the environment.
No matter your product’s complexity or stage in the supply chain, Heurnova ensures you stay compliant, responsible, and ready for European market confidence.
Substance Inventory & Data Collection
Not sure where to start with identifying everything in your material stream? We establish a complete and accurate inventory of all substances, mixtures, and articles within your product portfolio.
Through supplier outreach, internal documentation review, and structured data alignment, we ensure every input is mapped against REACH requirements. This provides a clear, defensible foundation for registration decisions, reporting obligations, and ongoing compliance maintenance.
Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:
-
Ensure supplier declarations are complete and verified
-
Confirm Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are current and compliant with REACH format
-
Evaluate material concentration levels and thresholds
-
Cross-check all substances used, imported, or produced against ECHA databases
SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) Screening & Notification
Concerned about SVHC presence in components or materials sourced from suppliers? We screen your products against the SVHC Candidate List to determine whether any substances exceed threshold notification levels. Results are translated into practical communication guidance for ECHA and downstream customers, along with prioritized remediation or substitution recommendations where applicable.
Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:
-
Identify articles exceeding limits defined by REACH SVHC list
-
Prepare and maintain SCIP database entries for all relevant products
-
Track new substances added to the Candidate List
-
Communicate SVHC presence and safe use information to downstream users
Restricted Substances & Authorization Management
Do you want confidence that none of your parts or materials violate Annex XVII restrictions or Annex XIV authorization requirements? We assess your product and supply chain against evolving restricted substance lists, identifying risks related to banned substances, sunset dates, or required authorization controls.
You’ll receive a clear compliance status summary, along with proactive planning options to mitigate regulatory or market impact.
Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:
-
Check restricted substances lists regularly for updates
-
Review authorization expiry dates and required renewals
-
Develop substitution or elimination strategies for high-risk substances
-
Implement safe handling and exposure control measures
Supplier & Supply Chain Communication
Struggling to get complete, accurate material data from suppliers? We develop structured communication workflows to obtain declarations, SDS updates, composition breakdowns, and conformance evidence — without repetitive manual follow-ups. This includes standardized questionnaires, tracking systems, and supplier responsibility assignments that reduce delays and strengthen transparency.
Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:
-
Use standardized supplier questionnaires for compliance data collection
-
Define contractual clauses requiring REACH conformity
-
Conduct periodic supplier audits for verification
-
Establish escalation procedures for non-compliance findings
Documentation & Recordkeeping
Do you need audit-ready documentation to support compliance claims? We create a maintained, traceable documentation framework that captures technical files, risk evaluations, supplier declarations, and verification evidence. Whether integrating into your existing QMS or building a dedicated repository, we ensure your records are organized, current, and defensible during regulatory or customer audits.
Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:
-
Maintain technical documentation and compliance evidence for inspection
-
Ensure integration with ISO 13485 or ISO 9001 systems
-
Control document versions and archiving securely
-
Keep all REACH communication records for at least 10 years
Continuous Monitoring & Regulatory Updates
Worried about staying ahead of regulatory changes as REACH evolves? We establish monitoring systems and automated update channels to track new SVHC additions, restriction proposals, and authorization list changes. You’ll receive impact assessments tailored to your product portfolio, along with clear, prioritized action plans to maintain compliance with minimal disruption.
Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:
-
Schedule periodic regulatory reviews (quarterly or biannually)
-
Track changes to SVHC, Annex XIV, and Annex XVII lists
-
Evaluate material substitutions following each update
-
Align with complementary directives (RoHS, CLP, WFD, etc.)
