A more complete profile can be found here
Denehurst can help with EU and UK REACH chemical supply legislation through offering advice, taking action or providing training. This includes work with new and existing substances, ECHA decisions, CoRAP and Registration quality issues.
Some of the Guidance documents prepared by Denehurst are offered on this site and these give an indication of the type of area we work in. However, more information can be provided on request. We try to keep the documents updated on a regular basis
GB-REACH and GB-CLP
Although the scientific basis and data assessment requirements for the UK systems are aligned initially to the EU and GHS, there will be a need to duplicate many of the administration processes of REACH Registration and providing of labelling and SDS. This is annoying, but relatively easy work-arounds are possible to maintain compliance in the EU and UK.
REACH Registration fees are applicable for EU and UK REACH, with a new fees structure in the UK from 1 April 2025 and a flat rate of £2222 for all tonnages (and discounts for SMEs)
The REACH Fees and Charges (Amendment of Commission Regulation (EC) No 340/2008) Regulations 2025
Animal testing policy
Details of Denehurst policy on animal testing can be found here
Denehurst offers free support and advice to any organisation worried about animal testing proposed by co-registrants for REACH or suggested by ECHA.
ECHA cannot legally demand animal tests and the REACH Regulation makes it clear (Article 13) that all possible attempts to avoid animal work must be made. ECHA and UK HSE can quite rightly demand data quality improvements where there is a lack of evidence to support earlier non-animal test data (or read-across/grouping), but only if there is no scientifically valid alternative should animal work be considered. It is important to remind ECHA of this sometimes.
