REACH Registration Milestone
We are proud to announce that FUXIN PIGMENT has successfully completed EU REACH registration for four of our flagship organic pigment products in 2025:
PY62 (C.I. Pigment Yellow 62)
PY168 (C.I. Pigment Yellow 168)
PY183 (C.I. Pigment Yellow 183)
PY191 (C.I. Pigment Yellow 191)
What is REACH?
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Union regulation adopted in 2007 to protect human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. The regulation places the burden of proof on industry to demonstrate the safe use of chemical substances.
For pigment manufacturers, REACH registration is essential for accessing the European market. It demonstrates our commitment to:
Product safety and environmental responsibility
Transparent communication throughout the supply chain
Continuous improvement of chemical safety
AP(89) Food Contact Compliance
In addition to REACH registration, all four products (PY62, PY168, PY183, PY191) comply with AP(89) recommendations for food contact materials. This German standard specifies requirements for pigments used in materials that come into contact with food, ensuring:
Low migration of harmful substances
Safe use in food packaging applications
Compliance with strict European food safety regulations
This dual compliance (REACH + AP(89)) makes our pigments particularly suitable for:
Food packaging materials (films, containers, coatings)
Kitchenware and food contact plastics
Toy manufacturing and children's products
Medical device applications
