REACH
Regulation
REACH,
Regulation No 1907/2006 on the
Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.
REACH
entered into force on 1st June 2007 and under REACH,
companies operating in the EU may face certain obligations
as manufacturers, importers and/or downstream users.
These obligations are staggered and become effective
in stages; this means that different deadlines apply
over the next nine years:
1
June - 1 Dec 2008 - pre registration period for existing
substances manufactured or imported into the EU at
1 tonne per annum or more
- 1
Dec 2010 - registration complete for substances
of 1000 or more tonnes per annum or substances of
very high concern greater than 1 tonne per annum
- 1
June 2013 - registration complete for substances
of 100 or more tones per annum
- 1
June 2018 - registration complete for substances
of 1 or more tones per annum
The
pre-registration phase has closed and Brother and
parties working on behalf of Brother have completed
the necessary pre registrations.
REACH requires that sufficient information on Substances
of Very High Concern (SVHC) contained in products
in concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w)
is communicated to allow the safe use of the product.
The
substances below may be contained within the Brother
products listed above the threshold level of 0.1%
