REACH Impact

REACH affects to all the manufacturers, importers and downstream users of chemicals including:

  • Non-EU Manufacturers and Importers who directly or indirectly place their substances/preparations in the EU.
  • Downstream users of REACH liable substances need to inform specific substance uses to respective suppliers.
  • 30,000 and 100,000 substances are estimated to be REACH liable.
  • Around 1,500 substances are likely to meet the "SVHC" criteria.
  • Provisions on classification, labeling, authorization and restrictions are applicable to all substances manufactured or placed on the EU market regardless of volume if found dangerous.
  • Registration requirements apply to substances manufactured or imported in quantities above one tonne per year per legal entity per use.
