Important Updates on REACH Regulations for Non-EU Manufacturers

Published

Overview

REACH stands for: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, an acronym for a European Union regulation. Representatives must provide the contact details of non-EU Manufacturers in REACH-IT. Companies are required to review their registration dossier and submit additional information in accordance with updated annexes (Annex VI-X) of the REACH regulation. These changes in REACH regulation requirements will apply beginning on October 14th, 2022.

Declaration Requirements

Starting on April 26th, 2022, each Representative must declare the non-EU Manufacturers they represent and provide their contact information in REACH-IT by October 14th, 2022. Non-EU Manufacturers can appoint only one Representative. A REACH-IT account can contain registration from only one non-EU Manufacturer. If you represent multiple non-EU Manufacturers, it will be necessary to transfer the registrations to the correct REACH-IT accounts.

Contact Information

Representatives must have separate REACH-IT accounts for each non-EU Manufacturer and provide the following contact information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • Website

The fee for transferring registrations in REACH-IT accounts can be waived until October 14th, 2022. After this date, the legal Entity change fees will not be waived.
