MIYOSHI's Statement on REACH
三好化成グループのREACH対応について


Miyoshi Kasei Group supports the new regulations on chemicals from the European Commission, the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) program and is committed to prepare for this regulation with our suppliers and customers to ensure continued supply of our products.
(三好化成グループは、欧州委員会による対化学品の新しい規制であるRegistration,Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals(REACH)に対応し、また当社の製品の継続的な供給を保証するため、原料供給者や顧客と共にこの規制に対する準備に尽力しております。)

The aims of the proposed new Regulation are to improve the protection of human health and the environment while maintaining the competitiveness and enhancing the innovative capability of the EU chemicals industry. REACH would furthermore give greater responsibility to industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on the substances.
Some chemical substances pose significant environment or human health risks, even if the full extent of harm has not yet been definitively established, precautionary measures should be taken to avoid use of the substances. The Group believes that this precautionary approach is an essential element of an effective REACH.
(この新しい規制の目的とするところは、EUの科学工業における競争力の持続と革新的能力の増強を図る一方で、ひとの健康や環境の保護を高めようというものです。化学物質には環境や人体の健康に重大な危険性をもたらすものもあり、その影響力の程度は未だ明確に規定されていませんが、これらの化学物質の使用を防ぐための予備的措置は講じられるべきです。三好化成グループは、この予備的アプローチが効果的なREACHの本質的要素だと考えております。)

Convinced of the need of such a regulation, Miyoshi Kasei Group is working alongside Miyoshi Europe S.A.S, U.S. Cosmetics Corporation and other bodies to guarantee the feasibility of implementing the REACH initiative.
(このような規制の必要性を確信し、REACHのイニシアティヴの施行実現可能性を保証するため、三好化成グループはMiyoshi Europe S.A.SとUSCCや他の関係者と共に取り組んでおります。)
