EU-Informationen zur REACH-Registrierung für UK-Registranten

Chemical substances
In the area of chemical substances, only 52% of concerned REACH registrants had transferred their registrations to the EU27 by mid-August 2019. The European Chemicals Agency opened a ‘Brexit window’ in REACH-IT allowing registrants to take the necessary steps to transfer their REACH registration ahead of the withdrawal date. The Brexit window will remain open until 31 October 2019. As regards REACH authorisations, UK authorisation holders, UK applicants for authorisation and UK downstream users that supply substances or mixtures in the EU27 as part of existing supply chains are urged to take the necessary steps to ensure regulatory compliance for their EU27 downstream users. In turn, EU27 downstream users of UK registrants, UK authorisation holders, UK applicants for authorisations and UK downstream users are advised to verify with their suppliers that the relevant products will be in regulatory compliance by 31 October 2019 and take measures of their own as appropriate, making use of available guidance. Regulatory compliance is critical to continue placing chemicals on the EU market from the withdrawal date.
