In an increasingly regulated global environment, ensuring regulatory compliance and safety in the acquisition of chemical products is not only a legal requirement, but also an ethical commitment to sustainability, the health and safety of all our stakeholders and business transparency Lumar Química, as a benchmark in the chemical additives industry, incorporates these requirements into its business model, standing out for its proactivity in the implementation of global regulations and standards.
The Importance of Regulatory Compliance
Chemical companies must comply with a complex regulatory framework covering safety, environmental, security and health issues for all our stakeholders. In Europe, these include:
REACH Regulation: Mandates registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals, promoting responsible use.
CLP Regulation: Establishes guidelines on the classification, labelling and packaging of chemicals to ensure consumer safety.
ADR: Regulates the safe transport of dangerous goods, minimising risks during the transport of chemical products.
Royal Decree 1055/2022: Manages packaging and derived waste, underlining the extended responsibility of the producer in the value chain.
In addition to these, cross-cutting regulations such as the RGPD and the Organic Law on Data Protection (3/2018) guarantee responsible data processing in all commercial interactions. In addition, Law 7/2022, on responsible waste management, reinforces the commitment to the circular economy.
Continuous Improvement Strategies
Lumar Química takes a holistic approach to ensuring safety and regulatory compliance through:
Continuous staff training: Specialised in technical knowledge of products, market and regulatory trends.
Internal and external audits: Verify compliance with international standards, identifying opportunities for improvement.
Voluntary certifications: Standards such as NSF and Ecolabel that guarantee quality and adaptability in various markets.
Future Trends and Regulations
Compliance is not limited to current regulations; the chemical industry must anticipate emerging regulations. These trends include:
Deforestation Regulation (EUDR 2023/1115), which will require companies to demonstrate that their products do not contribute to global deforestation.
Carbon footprinting and life cycle analysis: Although not mandatory regulations, these tools are essential to qualify the sustainability of products and meet the expectations of consumers and investors.
Regulatory compliance and safety are not just a legal obligation, but a business strategy that reinforces sustainability and competitiveness. Lumar Química integrates international standards, fosters a culture of continuous improvement and anticipates future regulations, positioning itself as a key partner for the most demanding sectors of the chemical industry.
