Ready for REACH

03 Feb 2010

REACH is the European Union (EU) regulatory system for chemicals, including petroleum substances used in our fuel and bitumen products. It came into force on 1 June 2007.

By 30 November 2010, all substances manufactured or imported in quantities of over 1000 tonnes per year must be registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This includes all substances used in our fuels and bitumen products.
