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.
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 tonnes per annum
1 June 2018 - registration complete for substances of 1 or more tonnes 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% w/w.
