Registration under REACH – the focus is now on quality

A core area of the REACH Regulation (ECHA) is the obligation to register. As soon as you, i.e. the legal entity of your company, manufacture or import more than one ton of a substance, you are obliged to register this substance. Provided there are no exceptions, which is not always easy to decide.

Registration under REACH can mean a lot of work – and also costs. The legislator had therefore granted a transitional period to implement the registration of the so-called phase-in substances. This period has been over since May 31, 2018.

Sometimes the registrants may not have had enough time. Or the requirements for a REACH-compliant registration dossier were still unclear. The fact is, however, that some/many registration dossiers do not meet today’s expectations.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1435 specifies when which updates are to be made. Among other things, new findings on the hazardousness of the respective substance must be taken into account in the registration under REACH. Further obligations arise if the quantities you manufacture or import exceed the previous tonnage levels of the REACH Regulation.

Perhaps you do not have the necessary resources to bring the dossiers you submitted years ago up to the required level of quality. We can offer you a solution to this problem. ⇒ Consulting & support
