What responsibilities and obligations do registrants need after EU REACH registration? How is the follow-up trade compliant?

After completing the REACH registration, what are the responsibilities and obligations of the registrant?

1. infORm the customer that you have completed REACH registration, infORm the customer of the contact information of or, and contact or directly for future related questions.

2. Update the SDS in time. After the REACH registration is completed, it is necessary to update the SDS, and add the REACH registration number to the SDS and pass it on to the customer. The REACH registration number is a string of Arabic numerals starting from 01. Enterprises can check the authenticity of the registration number on the EU REACH official website. In addition, if the registered substance has dangerous classification and the registered tonnage exceeds 10 tons/year, the exposure scene of substance use should be added after SDS.

3. Keep an eye on the use of the product. The use of the product purchased by the customer should be included in the registration file, and it is not allowed to change the use at will. For example, if the intermediate is selected for registration, the product is limited to the intermediate use and cannot be used for other purposes.

4. Concerned about the entry of substances into CoRAP (EU Scrollbar Program), the EU will regularly assess substances that may be harmful to human health or the environment, and then provide additional data and exposure for discrimination. Therefore, registrants need to pay extra fees for testing, and once substances are added to the authorization list because of higher risks, the export business in the later period will be greatly affected, so special attention should be paid.

5. Fulfill the obligation of notifying or authorizing SVHC. If the products registered by REACH are classified as SVHC (high attention substance), and the content in the products is more than 1% and the export volume is more than 1 ton/year, the enterprise needs to inform the downstream users to pass SVHC information.

How to use REACH registration number to complete trade？

As we mentioned earlier, after the REACH registration is completed, the registrant will get a set of digital numbers, namely REACH registration number, so how to complete the trade through this registration number?

1. If the registrant exports directly, it is relatively simple, and the registration number can be directly sent to the customer (note: the last four numbers may not be provided) to prove that he has completed the registration, and then the trade can be completed.

2. For those exported through the agency, the situation is a little more complicated, and the registrant needs to inform OR to issue the tonnage coverage certificate to the agency, and the agency can complete the trade after obtaining the tonnage coverage certificate.

3. It should be noted that the EU REACH registration number is a necessary condition for enterprises to open up the EU market, with high gold content. Some exporters forge REACH registration certificates, which disturbs the market order. Therefore, registrants should protect their REACH registration certificates and registration numbers, and do not send certificates to peer enterprises at will to prevent unnecessary troubles.
