The EU REACH Regulation became effective as of June 1, 2007. The preregistration of chemical substances required pursuant to REACH was completed by the voestalpine Group on schedule by December 1, 2008; 28 Group companies carried out about 1,000 preregistrations with the European Chemicals Agency in Helsinki. As was the case with preregistration, the execution of the (final) registrations by December 1, 2010 was also coordinated Group-wide. Ultimately 23 chemical substances of 16 different material (e.g., iron, iron, oxide, slags, scale, etc.) were submittet by seven Group companies.
