YASH Technologies Provides a Suite of Services and SAP Solutions for REACH Compliance

East Moline, IL (August 12, 2008) – European Union’s new regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) calls for all companies that use, manufacture or import more than one ton of a chemical substance annually to identify and manage risks associated with the chemical they market. This effort to tighten environmental regulations creates a considerable administrative hurdle, as companies are required to rethink their business processes to deliver accurate data to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Compliance has become a business-critical process. YASH Technologies, a global leader of enterprise business and technology solutions can help companies address these requirements through a suite of services around the SAP® solution for REACH compliance.

Compliance will weigh down the global chemical supply chain all the way to downstream users, with regulatory activities. From testing and reporting requirements for dossier submission, to supply chain collaboration and minimizing costs, companies will have to look for the most effective way to align and manage these activities. YASH is at the front-line with REACH compliance services to help organizations obtain environmental, social, and financial benefits.

YASH offers three levels of REACH compliance solutions:
• Complete Pre-registration Process: Guidance, Dossier Creation and/or services. Additionally, YASH can assist in post pre-registration phases such as expert advice, registration services, SIEF representation services, data identification and extraction, and maintaining data on IT tools.
• Substance Volume Information: Substance Volume Tracking (SVT), a part of SAP EH&S module helps companies determine the volumes of substances existing in their supply chain. This functionality helps in monitoring your substances for REACH compliance.
• REACH Compliance Suite Implementation: SRC (SAP REACH Compliance) solution is developed on the SAP Environment, Health and Safety (SAP EH&S) application. YASH can assist in implementing this suite that will help track the substances and its volumes, and collaborate work flows with your customers, suppliers, SIEF members and ECHA. It is integrated with your SAP Logistics, IUCLID and other third party tools, and helps in the complete registration process leading to overall compliance of REACH.

“REACH has a significant impact on how chemical companies do business in Europe, “said RK Vilayannur, Vice President, SAP Solutions for YASH Technologies. “This compliance replaces 40 existing directives so this is no small task for organizations. YASH is experienced in providing solutions for compliance and governance as we have a mature Chemicals and EH&S practice and have been providing solutions for Fortune 500 global chemical companies.”

YASH is also a strategic partner with SAP for REACH implementations. Most recently, YASH Technologies presented on the topic of REACH Compliance and how to enhance existing ERP investments to prepare to meet this regulation, at the SAP Summit in Mumbai, India in June. The presentation and webcast are now available at www.sap.com.
