If you import goods to Europe or if your company work with any goods that use chemical substances in its composition you probably already heard about REACH Only Representative and the new regulations in the European market.
In this article, we will help you to understand more about REACH. Also, clarify if your company needs a REACH representative or not.
On June 1st, 2007, the European REACH Regulation (EC1907/2006) started in the European Union.
Basically, the goal of REACH is to have an overview of chemical substances that are imported into the EU.
The new REACH regulation requires all companies manufacturing or importing chemical substances in the EU to register these substances with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Only companies that have a legal presence within the European Union can be REACH Only Representatives and can submit REACH registrations to ECHA.
Thus, all non-EU companies need a European company to be their REACH Only Representative. It is strongly advised that the REACH Representative is a member of the Only Representatives Organization (ORO). Of course, CAPLINQ is a trusted ORO member.
And why your company will need a REACH Only Representative?
The European REACH Only Representatives will take on all the responsibility of chemical reporting to ECHA.
Therefore, your company won’t have the responsibility to report the chemical substances to ECHA. And, will continue importing chemicals to Europe knowing that you’re totally compliant with the REACH regulations.
That’s why it’s also very important to have a REACH Only Representative with a lot of experience. Not only with chemicals goods but also with the European market and that you can fully trust.
