Klüber Lubrication - REACH
Klüber is perfectly on time
The REACH project at Klüber is making good progress. A competent team ensures that the preparation for the first goal, the pre-registration in 2008, is on schedule. Furthermore, preparations for the subsequent registration are already being made.
The registration of the substances used by Klüber and the uses of Klüber lubricants depends to a high degree on the data provided by suppliers and customers. Klüber is a downstream user of many substances and thereof dependent on information from others. Besides, some essential guidelines (RIP’s = REACH Implementation Projects) are not yet completed or ready for use. The team at Klüber keeps itself informed on the progress of the individual publications to be able to take measures at an early stage.
Klüber regards REACH as a chance:
 |
New developments are supported and facilitated by REACH. |
| |
New developments can be initiated better together with the customers. |
| |
Klüber is optimally prepared for the challenges posed by REACH and the need for product compliance. |
