Compliance with EU REACH regulations is compulsory for companies operating within the EU. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, harm business activities, and cause negative impacts on the company’s reputation. REACH compliance obligation involves ensuring that the products meet all requirements set out in the REACH regulation and maintain the compliance status at all times.
“Most importantly – we take all necessary action to fulfill any legal duty under REACH to guarantee the product is fully compliant for entering the EU market.”
For enterprises established outside the EU that would like to export products to the EU market, it is required to appoint an EU-based entity to act as their REACH Only Representative (OR).
The OR is a legal status under REACH regulation that shall work as the contact point between the non-EU entity and the authorities and shall represent the non-EU entity for all REACH obligations.
Chementors can operate as your Only Representative and handle all REACH duties for you and all your EU importers;
Chementors, with its headquarters in Finland, is an EU company. For more than a decade in the industry, we have been actively acting as an OR for manufacturers and suppliers based outside the EU.
“We are a qualified EU REACH Only Representative who meets all required and necessary criteria to manage REACH matters on behalf of non-EU enterprises.”
According to REACH (EC) No 1907/2006, substances of very high concern (SVHC) are those that:
SVHCs are included and periodically updated in the Candidate List published by ECHA.
If products contain any of these substances in the List, it is important to conduct a comprehensive SVHC assessment to make sure that the product is compliant with all legal requirements regarding SVHCs set in the EU regulation.
“Chementors provides a full set of SVHC services from SVHC compliance assessment to compliance certification. SVHC certificate is a strong communicative means which could be passed down to the supply chain for reference to prove the SVHC compliance status of the product.
“
Certain SVHC substances in the Candidate List are subject to REACH Authorisation aiming to gradually replace those SVHCs with suitable substances or technologies which are safer for humans and the environment. Once included in the REACH Authorisation List, the uses of such substances in the EU market shall be restricted.
In case a product contains any of these substances, to start or continue using and placing the product on the EU market, enterprises must apply for a REACH Authorisation to ECHA.
EU authorities shall evaluate the application and decide whether the authorisation is granted or not.
We as a REACH Consultant will assist enterprises with comprehensively understanding the REACH Authorisation process, providing guidance on the information that needs to be included in the authorisation application, and handling the application submission tasks to ECHA.
REACH (EC) No. 1907/2006 is a chemical regulation developed by the European Union concerning the registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals. It came into force in 2007.
Under the REACH regulation, all substances, either on their own or in mixtures, with certain exceptions, are subject to a registration obligation if they are manufactured, imported, or placed on the EU market in quantities of more than one tonne per year.
REACH compliance is a legal obligation. Under REACH, depending on the activities in the supply chain, a legal entity may have separate roles with corresponding REACH responsibilities to fulfill. Failing to comply with REACH could result in penalties, legal troubles, a stop of sales, and reputation damages.
REACH regulation places the registration obligations on the following actors:
Depending on the supply chain model, a legal entity shall be classified as a manufacturer, importer, or downstream user following the definition set in Article 3 of the REACH regulation. It is also possible that one entity takes multi roles, such as both manufacturer and importer roles, for the same substance. Each role will correspond to a set of REACH requirements. Therefore, it is critical to correctly verify the role of each substance.
EU REACH is a complex and ever-evolving set of regulations that require specific competency, i.e., relevant backgrounds and in-depth REACH experience, to handle the tasks precisely.
To comply with REACH regulations, enterprises often find it efficient to cooperate with an EU REACH consultant who can cover all REACH matters on a turnkey basis. This allows companies to focus resources on business matters.
Due to the importance of REACH compliance to the business and company reputation, it is critical to select a competent EU REACH consultant

To maintain smooth manufacturing and importing activities, it is very important to ascertain that the product always stays compliant with the REACH regulation. A few good practices are:
