Intertek (www.intertek.com), a leader in global environmental compliance, consulting, technology services and product stewardship, offers REACH Registration and Gap Analysis services to aid companies in the creation of their Technical Dossier by providing a documented review of the data available for our clients. substances, the identification of missing data, and the paths to close these gaps. Intertek will provide a plan for your registration dossier and a gap analysis for current data.

Intertek's REACH Dossier Gap Analysis service provides a documented assessment of both the data and the requirement for our client-specific substances. Whether the next steps are the creation of the registration dossier, or simply budgeting for it, Intertek dossier gap analysis is an instrumental, efficient, and low cost way to enable REACH registration compliance.

Intertek's Gap Analysis Services for REACH include:

  • Documented gap analysis 
    • Data gathering of information from client, SIEF, internal and external sources 
    • Documentation of information gaps 
    • Projection of data acquisition costs 
    • Gap resolution and dossier plan 
    • Review of outstanding gaps and gap resolution plan with ECHA 
    • Documented gap analysis for client review and basis of registration dossier creation 
    • Proposal for further testing or test plans

As a second phase, Intertek can proceed from the gap analysis to closing the gaps and completing the registration dossier for submission including the technical dossier and chemical safety report (CSR).

“Before you start randomly participating in SIEFs, conducting testing, or budgeting for comprehensive studies, would it not be nice to know what you need for your dossier and what data is missing?” notes Bruce Calder, General Manager of Intertek's Health and Environmental business unit. “Why proceed to registration randomly? Intertek Ageus Solutions’ REACH experts can help make your REACH compliance strategy more efficient and effective.”
