Business Guide" report to their offering.

   We are getting excellent feedback on this report, a revised 2008
edition of which is now available. It has an update on the REACH
Implementation Projects and improved hyperlinks for further

compliance into issues of commercial necessity and common sense.

        you compile inventories and understand what you are dealing
        with.

   --  Communicate effectively within your organisation to maximise
        opportunities linked to the changing marketplace stemming from
        REACH.

   --  Communicate with suppliers and customers, with tips on how to
        get the information and outcomes you require.

   --  Collect the risk-assessment data needed to support substances
        into the future.

   Benefit from detailed technical appendices, describing:

   --  Technical guidance available and being developed under the
        REACH implementation projects (RIPs).

   --  The forthcoming Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of chemicals
        classification and labelling.

   --  How to put together an intelligent testing strategy that
        minimises data requirements.
