The service includes review and interpretation of relevant Danish and European chemical legislation in relation to products, materials, company activities and supplier setups. This includes restrictions, product-related requirements, specific Danish rules, and relevant national requirements that must be considered in the assessment.
Chemical analysis
Consultancy regarding chemical legislation
Get consultancy on Danish and European chemical legislation to assess regulatory obligations regarding content of problematic chemical substances and prepare documentation.
Companies that import, manufacture or place products and materials on the Danish, European and international markets may need to clarify which chemical requirements apply to their products, suppliers and documentation. This need often arises when new products are developed, materials are sourced, supplier information is incomplete, or existing products must be reviewed against updated rules such as REACH, RoHS, POP and specific Danish rules. Without a clear assessment of content of chemical substances and related legal obligations, organisations risk delays, product withdrawal and costly follow-up work.
When substance information is incomplete
The service includes legislation checks at company and product level, assessment of substances in products and materials, and documentation for authorities and customers. It also covers environmental and health assessments of chemical substances in products, including cases where the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) applies. Where supplier data is not sufficient, the assessment can be supported by screening and chemical analysis, including material identification and screening for regulated substances and substances on the REACH Candidate List. This provides a documented basis for decisions about products, suppliers and further actions.
Challenges
When chemical requirements and substance information are unclear, organisations may struggle to decide how to assess products and documentation.
Incomplete supplier data blocks compliance assessment
Supplier documentation does not always show whether regulated or unwanted substances are present in products and materials. Without reliable substance information, it becomes difficult to assess information duties, restrictions or the need for further documentation and analysis.
Regulatory updates create uncertainty
Restrictions, substance lists and related requirements change over time. If existing products are not reassessed when rules are updated, organisations may continue to rely on outdated documentation and incomplete evaluations.
