'Non phase-in' substances

Greater than 1 t/y

Now!

Act Now

Register Immediately

Key

1. Registration is required for all substances that are marketed in quantities over 1 tonne per year.

2. Though polymers maybe exempt from REACH registration, the monomers and additives used are not

exempt.

3. Proof of registration and traceability are required by ECHA.

New substances must be inquired to ECHA and then registered.

Brexit

As of January 1st, 2021, any REACH registrations held by a UK entity (for instance, a UK-based Only Representative or UK-based importer) are expected to become null and void: They will simply cease to exist.

The UK version of REACH will allow a short transition period, over which your exports to the UK must be registered under "UK REACH", when it comes into force.

If you export to either the EU or the UK, and are concerned about maintaining your business without interruption, please REACH out to us without delay!
