Product training
Our product training helps you to make the most of your new training system. During the training, our qualified trainers explain the equipment and the supplied courseware. They will clarify the basic theoretical concepts, how the individual modules work and how you complete the exercises as part of your teaching activities.
Our training sessions actively help to personalise the practical exercises and the students' learning experience. You will also learn from our trainers how other teachers present the training content.
REACh EC Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACh)
REACh = R egistration, E valuation, A uthorisation of Ch emicals
(Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals)
REACh EC Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACh)
These building blocks were used to comprehensively restructure the chemicals policy. REACh has been in force since June 2007 and regulates chemicals legislation in Europe. The aim is to protect people and the environment and to centrally record all information on chemical substances in Europe.
For the first time, chemicals legislation also covers substances in products. As a manufacturer of products, Festo is therefore obliged to inform if substances of very high concern (SVHC) should be part of Festo products.
After the REACh regulation came into force in June 2006, Festo AG & Co. KG started to regularly check the product range for SVHC. If there is more than 0.1% mass of a substance on the candidate list in one of our products, we will immediately comply with our duty to inform in accordance with Article 33 of the REACH regulation.
Information on SVHC (substances of very high concern) in products
The European Court of Justice precisely specified the definition of a product within the context of the REACh directive on the 10th of September, 2015. If the limit value of 0.1% by mass is exceeded for a substance of very high concern (SVHC) in an installed sub-product, the product in question must be registered in accordance with Art.33 (1) of the REACh directive regardless of the percentage-by-mass content of the overall product.
