We safeguard the use of our products throughout their entire life cycle

Ercros, as a chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturer, whether produced internally or purchased from third parties, stewards these substances throughout the supply chain so that they do not pose a risk to the health and safety of people or to the environment.

The life of a substance ranges from the design of industrial facilities, the purchase of raw materials, to its end, whether due to its consumption or its transformation into waste.

For Ercros, this commitment involves maintaining close contact with customers and, if they require it, providing them with information to ensure that the substances sold to them are used and handled correctly.

Ercros complies with the legislation issued by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) - the European Reach and CLP regulations - whose purpose is to protect human health and the environment, as well as to promote the correct use of these substances.

Safety data sheets

Ercros supplies its customers with Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the products it markets in the languages of all EU countries, with the content developed by the Reach regulation. Outside the EU, it supplies SDSs adapted to the regulations of each country, in their respective language.

Our suppliers of raw materials provide us with the SDSs of the substances and mixtures they supply us with and, in turn, Ercros verifies the conformity of these SDSs.
