REACH regulation for articles

Quick overview of REACH regulations for companies that sell articles in the EU

Are you a company that sells articles on the European Union (EU) market? Compliance with the REACH regulations is crucial to ensure the security of people and the environment. This guide offers you a quick overview of the regulations to be observed.

1. Determine whether your article contains substances that must be registered according to REACH: If your article contains a substance that is to be released and the amount of this fabric is over one ton per year, you must meet the registration obligations in accordance with REACH articles 7 (1).
2. Identify particularly worrying substances (SVHCs) in your article: If your article contains a SVHC in a concentration of more than 0.1% (m/m) and is included in the SVHCs candidate list for the approval, you must communicate the name of the fabric and secure usage information according to the reach article 33. You must also submit information about this article into the SCIP database in accordance with the waste framework directive.
3. Notify the European chemical agency (ECHA) if you launch items that contain SVHCs: If your article contains a SVHC in a concentration of more than 0.1% (m/m) and the amount of substance is over a ton per year, you must notify the ECHA according to the REACH article 7 (2).
4. Check whether your article contains restricted substances: Companies that place articles on the EU market must ensure that these items do not contain any substances restricted according to the REACH-ANTICE XVII.
