With the UK leaving the EU US companies with UK clients and/or EU clients will need to review import tonnage and split between UK and EU27/EEA to check if substances need to be registered under UK REACH and/or EU REACH. Any substance imported into the territory above 1 tonne must be registered via an Only Representative (OR) established in that territory. CSI has offices located in Edinburgh, Scotland for UK REACH and Dublin, Ireland for EU REACH.
Comply with UK REACH
From the 1st January 2021, the UK government division - The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) will release its UK REACH submission platform called “Comply with UK REACH” (similar to ECHA’s REACH-IT tool) to allow companies to submit data of the chemicals manufactured and/or imported into the UK above 1 tonne per annum. To maintain access to the UK market, many companies including UK, EU and US companies will need to prepare for these changes.
