REACH Registration Certificate- An Overview

A REACH registration certificate will allow a non-EU manufacturer and exporter to sell certain chemicals and goods into the EU market. Registration is mandatory for companies whose quantities exceed 1 metric ton per year in the EU.

Your dossier will be evaluated to validate data quality and check potential public and environmental hazards. As a foreign exporter, you need an EU-based "Only Representative" or full reliance on an EU importer.

Frequently Asked Questions on EU Reach Registration

While a standard REACH would only cover just one legal entity per individual's submission, there's a principle of joint submission that allows for multiple companies that deal with similar chemicals to share a unified data registration.

Your first step is to find out if your substance is within the REACH scope range or not, determine its role in the supply chain, assess the annual tonnage, generate the needed data, prepare your dossier, and finally submit it to the ECHA.

Absolutely, REACH applies to substances, mixtures, and articles imported into the European Union. It also depends on the nature of the product and the role of your company in the supply chain.

In case there are any type of non-conformities, then you can get ready to face enforcement actions and penalties under the EU law of that relevant member state. Your product will further face a restriction in the market.

They are substances of very high concern that could be carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic, bio accumulative, or otherwise under the REACH rules.

A REACH registration is actually a part of compliance. A registered company will have to fulfill obligations relating to SDS, SVHC, authorization, restrictions, classification, and labelling.

The principle means that a substance under REACH cannot be imported, placed in the EU market, or manufactured in the European Union without a valid approval.

Not at all. If your substance is legally obligated to have registered with the authority under REACH, then you need a registration. In other words, you cannot sell, manufacture, or place your product in the EU without a legit registration.

Well, that completely depends on the substance type, the accuracy of your dossier, testing requirements, availability of the data, and related query resolutions by the ECHA. You can improve your chances of a faster approval by partnering with Enterslice through on time liaison and submission support.

Your application will be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) through the applicable electronic official systems.

You will need to submit a dossier with details on substance identity, composition, uses, hazards, classification, labelling, exposure, and risk management. Your exact requirements for the registration will depend on the annual tonnage bond.

To qualify for the registration, you will need to have at least 1 tonne per registrant annually for a substance. Other than the threshold, different types of eligibility criteria will apply based on the annual tonnage band.

Not really. The registration only applies to substances and their mixtures and certain articles. To know more about how and why your product classifies under the REACH, book a free consultation and speak to our consultants.

Yes, if you are a non-EU/EEA based company that is considering a global business move in the European Union, then you will have to appoint a representative who must be an EU-based company or importer.

As a non-EU company, you cannot directly apply for the EU Reach registration, but you can do so either through an EU-based importer or by appointing an "only representative" who would represent you before the authorities as a resident person.
