Only Representative
We provide consulting services for the environmental and safety compliance of products, chemicals and biotechnologies, including an "Only Representative" service for REACH. We monitor the progress of SVHC nominations and discussions on SVHC replacement substances, and provide ad-hoc research and project management services to meet our clients’ needs.
Why LRI Chemical?
At LRI, Our underlying strengths include our abilities and experience in managing large, complex projects. We are capable of undertaking research and consulting projects in virtually any country in the world, as our experience list demonstrates. Using our team of internationally experienced chemical regulatory consultants and scientists together with our strong network of industry experts, LRI is ideally suited to providing reliable service and assured results.
REACH
The European Union's chemical regulation called REACH, "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals", is one of the most complex and detailed pieces of legislation ever brought into force in the EU. LRI provides a complete list of services related to REACH, which includes (1) complete "Only Representative" services, (2) ad hoc research and consulting services, and (3) project management services. From inventory review for pre-registration to facilitation at SIEF (Substance Information Exchange Forum) and subsequent report preparation, LRI can provide you with all the services required as an Only Representative relevant to REACH compliance.
Research
At LRI, we provide more than just Only Representative services. Using our full range of expertise and experience in chemical regulatory law, LRI can conduct research in many areas related to chemical regulation at country, international, and particularly European levels, e.g., EU Waste Directive and EU Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS). Similarly, leveraging our extensive network of researchers around the world, LRI is able to offer research services to cover almost any country. Using our tried and tested research methodology, we are also able to conduct comparative research of legislation in a range of countries. For example, we recently undertook a research project comparing legislation on safety data sheets in EU, UK, France, Italy and Germany.
Project Management
LRI can provide project management services beyond those required as an Only Representative, e.g., coordination with upstream companies in the client's supply chain. We can also provide project management services to clients, for whom we are not an "Only Representative", which may include trouble shooting, but also management of their professional services, and so on. We include the third party representative services for EU companies in our project management services. We regard the REACH processes not only as a technical exercise but also as a task for which strong project management skills are vital.
