Join us!

Registration is open for ESA’s online awareness session: “EU Chemicals Regulation (REACH): Focus on the Space Sector” 
Date: Wed, 28 January | Time: 10:00 – 12:30 CET 

REACH is a central piece of EU legislation designed to protect human health and the environment while enhancing competitiveness and innovation. For companies in the European Space Sector producing extremely sophisticated hardware and using very small quantities of chemicals, navigating and applying EU REACH and related requirements is very complex and an ever-moving target. Broad-scope restrictions (in place or proposed) with limited or generic derogations for substances like PFAS, Chromium (VI), lead metal or microplastics – among others – create legal compliance and commercial obsolescence risks for critical space materials and processes. 

Join our Senior Legal Advisor, Tim Becker, and ESA REACH Officer Přemysl Janík for a comprehensive webinar tailored to SMEs and space project professionals. 

By participating in this webinar, you will gain: 

• A clear overview of REACH obligations tailored for the Space Sector 
• Updates on the status and timelines of requirements and restriction initiatives for key substances and substance groups 
• Sectorial compliance recommendations 
• An outlook on EU regulatory evolutions, including the EU REACH revision and proposed discontinuation of the SCIP database 
• Information on related non-REACH topics, such as POPs, UK REACH and the Swiss chemical regulations 
• Practical answers to your questions on compliance and obsolescence management 

Do not miss out – Registration closes  on the 27th of January!
