IHS is the critical source of information and insight that enables your organization to manage and mitigate risk surrounding global material and chemical compliance initiatives such as REACH. REACH (the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals) and other emerging global regulations are not just a chemical or EU phenomenon. REACH poses serious threats to the unprepared when product transitions ripple throughout industries. These regulations will have implications that span the global supply chain including parts, chemicals and components you buy as well as those used in the production of the products you make and sell. “No data, no market” is an industry saying that speaks to the critical role that information management will play in this evolving landscape. IHS is uniquely positioned to help organizations manage REACH compliance and mitigate the risk and exposure that may exist in your supply chain. We work with companies throughout the entire lifecycle – from accessing and interpreting regulatory impact to acquiring the necessary data, managing it, reporting on compliance and risk and finally we help you with redesigning and optimizing your supply chain to reduce your exposure to future risk and regulations. IHS has a comprehensive solution to support the continuous need for managing Product, Chemical and Compliance Lifecycle transitions. IHS can help you manage the material compliance lifecycle, and address the full impact of REACH.
