ordinance on detergents; cosmetics regulations; biocide regulations; environmental regulations; commodities regulations; transport law (hazardous materials) etc; and ultimately issues approval for marketing.
Emergency numbers are important in two respects. First, they must be provided in safety data sheets according to the REACH Regulation (1907/2006/EC). Second, legal regulations on transport, particularly by airlines, absolutely demand emergency numbers – usually on a carriage document or label. At KFT, we offer companies an emergency number service through our partners Chemtrec and Giftinformationszentrum Nord (GIZ).

ACCREDITATIONS VCH (association of chemical suppliers) subsidiary of FECC (European Association of Chemical Distributors) Member of ENES (European network on exposure scenarios) Member of SCHC (Society for Chemical hazard Communication) PARTNERS Tradas Translations and Consulting Services Laus GmbH (GLP certified testing laboratory) Chemtrec/GIZ Nord (Security number services) KTR Europe GmbH (China and Korea New Chemical Substance Notification Service) LISAM Deutschland GmbH (ExESS chemical compliance software solution) CLIENTS Chemical manufacturers, distributors, importers of consumer goods, biocide substances, pharmaceutical raw materials, hygiene products for veterinary applications, household cleaner formulations and other products. CASE STUDY 1: Marketability study 1 Consumer goods providers must take many legal stipulations into consideration. Particular attention is paid to hazardous materials and hazardous cargo. Usually, these providers are distributors and not manufacturers of the products. Therefore, a few traders have established a partnership with KFT Chemieservice GmbH, in order to verify product compliance. Together with the tender, suppliers of the consumer goods providers are asked to submit a confirmation from KFT Chemieservice GmbH that all documents and labels conform to legal regulations. KFT Chemieservice checks the requirements and legal conformity with regard to: OO chemical legislation;

CASE STUDY 3: REACH lead registrant support Our strength is the support of the medium-sized industry, whose core competence does not lie within the production or handling of chemical products. The REACH requirements are particularly problematic here. KFT Chemieservice verifies the requirements. If there is no lead registrant or Sief facilitator appointed for strategic products, we evaluate the registration capacity of the material by our customers, check the competition situation and identify possible co-registrants. After a positive economic evaluation by our customer, we facilitate the registration of the material. Thus, we cover all steps of the process. We perform the Sief survey with the available data in consideration of the interests of other Sief participants, find the existing data and data gaps, undertake negotiations with data keepers and contract testing labs to close the data gaps. We create the Iuclid file and the CSR and take care of registration with the Echa. As a result of this, the client receives the registration number. KFT markets the letter of access to other registrants. As an additional service, we create the safety data sheets with appendix (exposure scenarios) in all EU languages. We provide one-stop service for the client.
