The FIM explains the Echa guide concerning substances in the articles
FIM has prepared a commented translation of the Echa guide (“Requirements on substances in articles”) to help dispel the confusion that sometimes ensues from official documents on the Reach regulation.
The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) has updated its guide regarding requirements on substances in articles in order to take into account the European Union Court of Justice’s decision dated 10 September 2015 on the concept of article. This guide, which was published in June 2017, is only available in English and some information included in the guide may be confusing for non-specialists. Moreover, “this guide is not enough to address the issue of “complex objects and very complex objects” such as those placed on the market by our companies”, explains the Federation of mechanical industries (FIM). Therefore, the FIM undertook to translate certain portions of this guide by including clarifications whenever necessary (in red in the document), in order to make it easier to understand.
This translation of the ECHA guide "concerning substances in articles" can be downloaded from the FIM site.

This concept relies on all methods and technologies which care for their impact on the environment throughout a product or process life. Though reluctances due to, among others, legal constraints and potentially reduced commercial leeway, sustainable development is certainly a real opportunity for innovation.
This technological focus includes projects relating to : Environment and industrial risk management in order to anticipate compliance to regulations, implementation of eco-design approaches and technologies reducing the environmental impact of processes and products.
