IFTH's textile specificity can help a company know how to react in a given situation, administrative, organizational or technical, which is specific to it within the framework of a REACH approach.

The initial role of IFTH is to help a company understand what REACH means for it, how it is involved, and what it must do. This role translates into training and assistance when drafting reports and documents.

IFTH's knowledge in matters of process allows the Institute to draw up an inventory of the substances involved. Its databases contain 5000 references, of which 1500 have been widely researched.

In this respect, information is being collected in ssociation with the ADEME. This will make it possible to list the substances, facilitate their surveillance in order to pre-register them, and communicate on their risks.

The Institute's expertise in designing a product allows it to advise the client on the scope of the tests to be carried out, target and fi lter them, and identify real risks, as opposed to certain organisations, which require that all tests be made, whether they are necessary or not.

Its knowledge of products allows it to guide the client in the choice of substances to be analysed. Even if the limit for a substance should not exceed 0.1% in a given article, when this substance is present in a wide range of products or in all products offered by a manufacturer, the total amount of substance used can quickly exceed the limit of one tonne imposed by the regulation, and the substance will have to be preregistered, in view of final registration.

Here again, the possibility of targeting substances may lead to a substantial savings in costs. Finally, if the substances in question are imported, especially when they are part of a preparation, IFTH proposes its services in order for the client to ensure traceabilility of the substance.
