REACH Regulation
Conformity with the REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of 18.12.2006
We, ORGATEX GmbH & Co. KG, do not work with substances. All of our products are articles. Only the individual substances within an article can be registered under REACH, and not the articles themselves. Our products are therefore not subject to any direct registration requirement. As a developer, manufacturer and seller of organisational materials, we are classified as a downstream user according to the REACH Regulation. This means that our task mainly consists of informing our suppliers about the areas in which our products are used, and determining these areas with our customers if they are unknown. We maintain close contact with our suppliers and can assure you, according to our research, that we currently do not use any materials or substances that are not or have not been registered as per the REACH Regulation.
