You want to carry out a compliance analysis under REACH
What is REACH?
First of all, REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) is the European Union’s regulation to protect human health and the environment from the risks associated with chemical substances
Why a compliance analysis under REACH?
In the EU, REACH requires manufacturers, users and importers of chemical substances, including mixtures, above one tonne per year to register these substances with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) under the REACH compliance criteria.
It is then necessary to compile dossiers containing information on the physico-chemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of the substances, an assessment of the risks to health and the environment and the appropriate management measures.
All substances are covered, including natural substances, organic substances and metals. Those used in industrial processes and those found in mixtures, such as in cleaning products, paints as well as substances contained in articles such as textiles, furniture, computer equipment or electronic components.
FILAB laboratory supports you in your REACH compliance analysis needs

A REACH testing laboratory is an analytical laboratory that performs chemical testing to verify whether substances, mixtures or articles comply with the European REACH regulation (EC No. 1907/2006). These laboratories carry out physico-chemical, compositional and impurity analyses to generate reliable data required for REACH registration dossiers submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Laboratory testing is essential to generate the analytical data required by REACH. Manufacturers and importers must demonstrate the identity, composition, purity and impurity profile of chemical substances placed on the EU market.
REACH testing allows companies to:
- identify the chemical composition of substances
- verify impurities and contaminants
- confirm the sameness of substances
- support registration dossiers submitted to ECHA
REACH laboratory testing may be required for:
- chemical manufacturers
- importers of chemical substances into the EU
- manufacturers of mixtures (paints, adhesives, detergents)
- companies placing articles on the European market (electronics, textiles, furniture, plastics)
- companies preparing REACH registration or updates
Testing ensures substances meet regulatory requirements before commercialization.
A REACH testing laboratory may analyze:
- organic substances
- inorganic substances
- metals and alloys
- nanomaterials
- additives or impurities
- substances present in mixtures or articles
All substances manufactured or imported above 1 tonne per year must be registered under REACH.
Typical REACH compliance testing may include:
- substance identification and composition analysis
- purity determination
- impurity profiling
- sameness assessment between substances
- nanomaterial characterization
- determination of regulated substances such as SCCP
These analysis generate the data required for REACH dossiers.
A sameness analysis compares two chemical substances to verify whether they can be considered identical under REACH.
This analysis examines:
- chemical composition
- impurity profile
- physico-chemical characteristics
Sameness testing is often required for joint submissions or data sharing between registrants.
- REACH testing generates the analytical and scientific data needed to characterize substances.
- REACH registration consists of submitting this data in a technical dossier to ECHA.
Laboratory analysis therefore provide the experimental evidence required for regulatory submission.
FILAB provides high-level analytical expertise to support companies with REACH compliance testing.
The laboratory offers:
- advanced analytical platforms for organic and inorganic substances
- expertise in substance identification and purity control
- experience with industrial materials and chemical substances
- customized analytical strategies for REACH compliance.
