REACH: Enforcement and Supply Chain Management Leading up to 2013

05 Aug 2011

The second phase of REACH enforcement known as “REACH-EN-FORCE 2” commenced in April 2011. Specifically, the European Union inspectors will control the supply-chain related obligations for substances in the mixtures prepared by formulators, as well as the CLP notification requirements. They will also check if the substances placed on the market in mixtures are registered or pre-registered. In addition, the inspectors will raise awareness of the future obligations for Downstream Users with relation to the extended safety data sheet (eSDS). This enforcement focus on mixtures will likely see a larger impact on importers and Only Representatives to insure they are fulfilling their functions.

REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) are another hot topic to be addressed with the release of the official Guidance on Articles.

If your company is involved in the manufacture, sale, or design of any products that are or may end up in the EU market, you will need to understand the implication of the REACH Regulation to your business.
