Why new EU chemicals policy needed? Tested 3% No Data 21% Minimum data (base set) 11% Availability of test data of high volume chemicals Very little data (less than base set) 65% 7
Overview REACH is a new System Regulation for Chemical Substances REACH Enter into force on 1-Jun-2007 2007 6 1 Focus on: High volumes chemicals Substances of very high concern (SVHC) SVHC Industries take responsibilities (Duty of care) 8
Why REACH concern my industry? REACH Chemicals are present and being used everywhere 9
Key Elements 1 / Registration of substances > 1 tonne/year Increase information and communication throughout supply chain Evaluation of some registered substances Authorisation of substances of high concern Restrictions of unacceptable substances (ECHA) Chemical Agency to manage the system 10
(Scope) ( ) Apply to the manufacture, placing on the market (including import) or use of chemical substances on their own, in preparations or in articles 11

FAQ 34
Question #1 How to handle chemically similar, but commercially different products, e.g. perfume in candle and pot pourri? Answer #1 REACH requires registration for each substance REACH Products understood as preparations (= mix of substances) do not have to be registered only the individual substances 35
Question #2 How can non-eu manufacturers register? Answer #2 Appoint an only representative Natural or legal person in EU Have sufficient background Comply with all obligations of importers Importer Downstream User 36
Question #3 When importing same preparation with a substance from different manufacturers in different non-eu countries, is it necessary to conduct repetitive registrations? Answer #3 No, just register per substance being imported if substance IDs are identical Submitted information based on final volume of the importer, that is sum up volume of individual manufacturers 37
Question #4 Does a plastic require registration? Answer #4 Plastic is a preparation, but polymer is exempted Monomer > 2% and 1 tonne/year will require registration > 2% 1 / 38

How to collect information from non-eu suppliers? Information is requested for specific articles produced Information is requested in a standardized form (e.g. questionnaire, ingredient tables) from all actors up the supply chain. Excluding the use of substances. For example, suppliers provide certificates that substances are not used or remain under certain concentrations in articles 58
