# Substance characterization laboratory for REACH registration

## Do you want to characterize a substance for REACH registration?

REACH is a European regulation that requires all manufacturers and importers of chemical substances, including mixtures, with a volume of more than one tonne per year, **to register these substances with the ECHA**(the European Chemicals Agency).

Under this regulation, companies must precisely characterize the identity of their substances in order to ensure compliance with the registration requirements.

Indeed, a substance must be associated with a chemical name, a number and, in the case of mixtures, with a detailed chemical composition (components + concentrations). The quality of the data provided will make it possible to quickly classify these substances in the **authorization or restriction lists**.

Ahead of a REACH registration, you are looking for a chemical analysis laboratory to characterize a substance.

## The FILAB laboratory provides you with its analytical equipment and the expertise of its engineers to characterize a substance as part of REACH

Grâce à un parc analytique de 2 100m² et à une équipe d’experts en chimie et matériaux, le laboratoire FILAB vous accompagne dans la caractérisation de substance pour un enregistrement REACH en proposant les services d’analyses suivants :
