NEW EU Chemical Law Comes Into Force


The European Union has approved a new chemical law to replace regulation that is over 40 years old. But the new EU chemicals legislation (REACH) is in critical condition, according to health, environment, and consumer groups.
The law is designed to make firms prove the thousands of chemicals they use in products from cars to clothes are safe. It comes after years of wrangling between firms keen to avoid more red tape and environmentalists seeking to cut the use of hazardous pollutants.  Reach has been described as the most important piece of EU legislation for 20 years.
It puts the onus on business rather than public authorities to test chemicals for safety - including the thousands of chemicals that have been used for years without proper understanding of their effect on health or the environment. It is also meant to encourage the replacement of hazardous chemicals with safer ones, and to spur innovation.However, environmentalists had always hoped the law would go further than it did in its final version - and industry groups still say it went too far.
"This deal is an early Christmas present for the chemicals industry, rewarding it for its intense and underhand lobbying campaign," said Green MEP Caroline Lucas.
Alain Perroy, director general of the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic) said his members regretted the "unnecessary requirements" introduced for authorisation of chemicals.
Manufacturers will have to come up with plans to replace the most hazardous chemicals, but they will not be banned outright as environmentalists had hoped.While the EU said the deal improved the safety standard of chemicals, green lobbyists were angered by what they saw as the EU bowing to industry pressure.Conservation body the WWF said the final text of Reach "was not the complete disaster that it would have been if the chemical industry lobby had succeeded in all their wrecking tactics" but said it left a number of substantial problems unsolved.It also warned that the deal would continue to allow potentially harmful chemicals into the environment.

"This regulation will affect small businesses that manufacture or import chemicals in the EU as well as those using chemical preparations in their industrial or commercial activities," it said.
It said that the cost of complying with the new rules would hit small firms "especially hard" because they were "least able to absorb costs or pass them on to their customers, unlike larger businesses".

With the right advice small firms can do their bit without being left exposed to prosecution due to their understandable lack of resources and specialised knowledge."

EU nations will have until 2018 to implement the new rules

Combatting The Superbug MRSA

Use Our Effective Cleaning Products to Combat the Superbug.

Cases of infection caused by Methycillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) are on the increase in the care sector. However, the dangers of this virulent superbug are not limited to hospitals. MRSA infection can actually occur In any communal establishment and can have potentially disastrous consequences to health. Infection outbreaks can be prevented and controlled with regular cleaning and disinfection using proven products.

E Shop Supplies sell a wide range of disinfectants and sanitisers, all of which have been scientifically proven to kill MRSA. Designed for daily use to maintain clean and hygienic conditions.

BSEN 1276: Proof of effective infection control

The only disinfectants that provide reliable control of MRSA are those that have been tested to BS EN 1276 (European standard for the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants) against a specified strain of MRSA. E Shop Supplies is a main distributor for Clover Chemicals and their disinfectants have been tested against MRSA NCTC 12493.  Testing was carried out and validated by an independent laboratory. BS EN 1276 proves a bacteria kill rate of 99.999% with a 5 minute contact time. Any product with a lesser kill rate is not effective enough to ensure reliable infection control.
