The Preservation of Health and Protection of the Environment

Canson® papers are monitored for compliance with the regulatory requirements applicable to chemical substances, including REACH*. Any statement regarding the absence of a substance or family of substances must be limited to the scope that has actually been verified.

What is the REACH regulation?

REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 governs the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals within the European Union, with the aim of ensuring a high level of protection for human health and the environment. 

REACH places various obligations on operators throughout the supply chain, particularly with regard to substances of very high concern (SVHCs), restrictions and the communication of information, as applicable.

How to make sure that art and drawing papers are not dangerous?

Canson® works to manage the use of chemical substances in the design and manufacture of its products. 

Environmental improvements are communicated when they can be linked to a specific change and supported by appropriate evidence.
