ReachCentrum SPRL

What ReachCentrum SPRL does

ReachCentrum SPRL is a Belgian private limited company headquartered in Brussels and operating as a subsidiary of the global sustainability consultancy ERM (Environmental Resources Management). Founded in 2006, the company is a specialized regulatory compliance services provider focused on the European Union's REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) and analogous chemical regimes in the UK, Korea (K-REACH), and Turkey (KKDIK).

The company's core assets are (i) a portfolio of over 70 REACH registration consortia covering chemical substances ranging from chlorinated solvents and alcohols to isocyanates, metal compounds, and organic pigments, and (ii) the ChemDataSharing marketplace, which had reached 300 fully set-up substances by August 2023. Supporting infrastructure includes a Letter of Access (LoA) E-Shop — a self-service e-commerce platform enabling companies to purchase access to joint submission registration dossiers — and dedicated project management and consortium secretariat services.

ReachCentrum monetizes through three streams: transaction-based Letter of Access sales (priced by tonnage band), marketplace commissions on data access fees through ChemDataSharing, and professional services fees for consortium management, SIEF communication, and registration support. Customers are primarily chemical manufacturers, importers, Only Representatives of non-EU producers, and downstream users requiring exposure scenario documentation. The company is ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certified and distributes its services via its proprietary e-shop, direct enterprise engagement, industry conferences, and the broader ERM distribution network.
