REACH Only Representative
​

 

If your company manufactures or imports a substance into the EU or UK markets in quantities greater than 1 ton/year, REACH requires you to register the substance with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) or the UK equivalent. For legal reasons, only companies with legal entities in Europe or UK respectively can submit registrations. Manufacturers and formulators, however, may appoint an Only Representative based in the appropriate region to register on their behalf. Their Importers can then be regarded as Downstream Users who do not need their own registrations.

 

Benefits for Exporters
