"There is a general obligation for manufacturers and importers of substances to submit a registration to the Agency for each substance manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or above per year. Failure to register means that the substance is not allowed to be manufactured or imported."

- From the European Commission Guidance Document of Feb 2007

 

Under REACH, substances can be categorized into two groups: Phase-in Substances and non Phase-in Substances. Phase-in substances("existing substances") enjoy benefits of varied extended registration deadline if pre-registered while non phase-in substances("new substances") need to be registered immediately before being placed in the EU market.

 

Pre-registration ended on Dec 1 2008. However, first-time exporters/producers who first began manufacturing or placing phase-in substances on the European market in excess of 1t/year after 1 Dec 2008, still can benefit from extended REACH registration deadlines by submitting a late pre-registration at least 12 months before the registration deadline of the phase-in substance involved.

 

Late Pre-registration: What Do We Do?

 

• Acting as Only Representative and taking full obligations of importers under REACH;
• Creation and submission of pre-registration data to ECHA;
• Communication with importers/downstream users;
• Representation in Substance Information Exchange Forum(SIEF) after pre-registration;

 

If you are not first-time exporters/producers in excess of 1 ton per year and you missed registration deadline(1 Dec 2008), please see our registration service.
