| The Division |
Process and Chemical Industry (PCI) is an advisory group within the division Environment at Royal Haskoning. This group consists of about 45 experts, including environmental scientists, process technologists, toxicologists, chemists, industrial hygienists and regulatory affairs specialists. Our specialists are involved in all aspects of chemicals management regulatory compliance, environmental and human safety, supply chain management etc. The management of chemicals does not stop at the borders of a country or Europe, but is a global issue with implications everywhere in the world. The global presence of Royal Haskoning is therefore an advantage for our clients.
Although REACH claims a large effort of Europe’s chemicals management professionals nowadays, in the meanwhile other important aspects of chemicals management must not be forgotten. New chemicals need to be registered under REACH, but may need registration in other parts of the world as well. The implementation of GHS is ongoing in different parts of the world and will ask re-classification of substances and mixtures.
We aim to provide a one-stop-shop for registrations, notifications and classification issues worldwide. The diversity of our services makes it possible to assist clients in the entire field of chemicals management.
