With a wealth of experience spanning diverse industries and legislative consulting, Intertek is a sound choice as your Third Party Representative.
“Companies should be aware that contact details indicated at pre-registration will be made available to all potential registrants of the substance(s) pre-registered under the same identity code as well as to potential registrants of all other substances for which read-across possibilities have been indicated. Whenever they consider such information to be sensitive, a Third Party Representative may be used.” - Practical steps for REACH pre-registration, European Chemical Agency (ECHA)
