What is REACH?

EU Chemicals Regulation

- Registration

- Evaluation

- Authorization and restriction

- Chemicals Protection human health + environment Enhancing competitiveness of EU chemicals industry

12,400 Substances 48,000 registrations ECHA

- environmental fate, - eco-toxicological, - physico-chemical:

Limit testing by: Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF)

Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) Regulatory authority in implementing REACH

What about ASTM?

REACH and ASTM F2577-14

Scope: -  case studies to illustrate the decision

process -  On forehand knowledge: example

wrought steel: there is no need to test for organic substances -  Generic: If knowledge cannot rule out

that a substance is present a test method may be required

-  recommendations on the application and frequency of test methods

What is RoHS 2?

EU Regulation

- Restriction

- Of - Hazardous

- Substances (Cd, Cr6+, Hg, Pb, PBB+PBDE)

Prevent the release of hazardous substances into the environment Ban on heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals in electrical and electronic equipment RoHS 2: much wider range of products: thermostats, medical devices, cables, control panels

Electric+ electronic equipment

RoHS 2

What’s new? •  A gradual extension to all EEE, cables and

spare parts; full compliance by 2019; •  A review of banned substances by July 2014,

and periodically thereafter; •  Clearer and more transparent rules for granting

exemptions •  Improved coherence with REACH •  Clarification of important definitions •  CE marking denoting compliance with EU

norms and RoHS •  transition periods of up to 8 years for new

products affected

In progress: -  tin-based solder alloys using optical emission spectrometry; -  analysis of heavy metals in glass by field portable X-ray

fluorescence (XRF); -  identification and quantification of lead in paint and other

coatings using energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDXRF); and -  analysis of tin-based solder alloys for lead, cadmium, mercury,

antimony and bismuth (and others) using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.
