Alternatives to anticipate the restrictions on the use of your critical substances and ensure the sustainability of your business.
The preparation of an Authorization request requires the production of three complementary documents:
EcoMundo is proud of its success, as 100% of Authorization requests submitted since 2015 have received recommendations for the exact review period requested by our clients, including "long" periods of 12 years.
Once the REACH authorization is granted by European authorities, you must be able to demonstrate the compliance of your activities with the Authorization conditions in case of inspection by national authorities (DREAL):
Leveraging our expertise in compliance and knowledge of the regulatory framework related to the use of chemical substances, we provide an anticipatory risk management service for obsolescence in your industrial processes due to substance regulations.

The responsiveness of EcoMundo's teams, particularly during contacts with ECHA committees, has been very strong.
A REACH Authorization is a regulatory approval issued by the European Union for the use of particularly hazardous chemical substances (SVHC- Substances of Very High Concern). It is necessary when these substances are present in products beyond specified thresholds, and no safer alternative is available. Authorization aims to ensure strict control and encourage the substitution of the most dangerous substances with less harmful alternatives. The authorization list is included in Annex XIV of REACH and is available on the ECHA website.
To obtain a REACH Authorization, a company must submit a request to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This request must demonstrate that the use of the chemical substance is necessary, that risks are controlled, and that the search for alternatives is ongoing. ECHA evaluates the request in collaboration with EU member states before making a decision on authorization.
Alternatives to substances subject to REACH Authorization are replacement solutions that pose lower risks to human health and the environment. Companies are encouraged to actively seek and adopt replacement substances when possible, promoting a transition to safer options. This approach helps reduce dependence on concerning chemical substances and promotes sustainability in chemical use.
