Who We Are
A Career Built on Chemical Science, Law & Industrial Sustainability
Founder & Executive Director | Senior Chemical Regulatory & EHS Subject Matter Expert
For over 29 years, my professional core has been bridging the gap between energy & petrochemistry, chemical regulation, international environmental law, and industrial sustainability. Throughout my global career, I have empowered multinational energy corporations, chemical manufacturers, and public institutions to navigate complex regulatory landscapes - turning compliance into a strategic advantage while safeguarding human health and the environment.
Holding a Degree in Chemistry alongside Master's degrees in Environmental Technology & Engineering and Occupational Health & Safety (Técnico Superior en PRL), I bring a deep technical and legal background to every challenge. My experience ranges from chemical regulatory compliance, GHS classification, and REACH management to authoring national chemical safety regulations, SEVESO accident prevention frameworks, and inspector protocols in the Middle East.
I founded Chemlex Solutions to deliver high-level regulatory consultancy defined by technical rigor, strategic clarity, and an agile international vision. I advocate for proactive, responsible chemical management - where industrial safety, human protection, and environmental stewardship go hand in hand with sustainable business growth.

Service 01
Mandatory GHS Compliance: Accurate Classification
Is your chemical shipment stuck at customs? Are your employees at risk due to outdated or non-compliant Safety Data Sheets? Many countries mandate GHS classification and SDS for all hazardous chemicals. Relying on generic, non-localised SDS files is a major customs and safety violation.
Our Core Services
GHS Substance Classification
We classify raw substances according to the latest GHS standards.
Mixture Classification
Expert classification of complex chemical mixtures based on component concentration, using concentration limits and bridging principles.
SDS Review & Localisation
Auditing your existing international SDS files, ensuring local regulations, contact details, and emergency numbers are correctly integrated.
GHS Label Design
Generating compliant label templates including required GHS pictograms, signal words, and mandatory bilingual hazard/precautionary statements.

Secure Your European Market Access: REACH Only Representative (OR) Services
Do you manufacture chemicals, mixtures, or articles and export them to the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK? If your annual export volume exceeds 1 tonne per substance, you face mandatory REACH registration (and UK REACH). Non-compliance results in shipments blocked at the border, heavy fines, and loss of critical EU customers.
The Only Solution: Appoint an OR
As a non-EU/EEA entity, you cannot register chemicals directly with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The legal obligation falls to your EU/UK importer.
The CHEMLEX Solution: By appointing our trusted EU-based partner as your Only Representative (OR), you transfer the legal burden away from your customers. Your EU/UK importers are then legally reclassified as 'downstream users,' simplifying their obligations and making your products preferred suppliers in the European market.

Only Representative (OR) Appointment
Formal appointment of our EU legal entity partner to act as your OR, taking on the legal importer responsibilities under EU REACH and UK REACH.
Registration Dossier Management
Full management of the registration process with ECHA, including Inquiry Submission, Dossier Compilation (IUCLID), and submission of Chemical Safety Reports (CSR) for high-tonnage substances.
SVHC Compliance & Article 33
Screening your products for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs). We manage the mandatory notification/communication obligations (Article 7 & 33) for substances in articles.
Substance Tracking & Tonnage
Maintaining an inventory of all EU/UK importers and tracking annual tonnage to ensure you stay compliant with the correct registration band thresholds.
Post-Registration Compliance
Ongoing services, including monitoring updates to the Candidate List/Authorization List, managing registration updates, and handling ECHA communication.
SDS Alignment
Ensuring your Safety Data Sheets provided to the EU supply chain are fully aligned with the technical information in the REACH registration dossier.
Why Choose CHEMLEX for REACH?
