Marketing your chemicals in the European Union under REACH
Actions for manufacturers outside the EU This guide describes the consequences of REACH for importers. The situation for manufacturers located outside the EU may be difficult as they may need to support substances in unfamiliar jurisdictions. This guide is designed to help companies located outside the EU, summarizes the specific implications and suggests actions to be taken to reach compliance under REACH. |
 | REACH and Downstream Users (pdf, 182 KB)
Downstream users are companies buying chemicals and using them in their production. REACH (effective since 1st June 2007) will affect them, as they are required, more than under the previous legislation, to pass information down the supply chain and to assure that their use of chemical substances is identified within the SDS. This brochure explains the consequences of REACH: obligations, business impact and actions to be taken. |

Preparing for REACH: Guidance for Small and Medium European Manufacturers of Chemicals
There has been much discussion about the potential impact of REACH on small and medium size chemical manufacturers. They are characterized by specific features which distinguish them from large manufacturers. Some of these features could make small and medium chemical manufacturers vulnerable to the implications of REACH. This brochure is targeted specifically to these companies and suggests pro-active actions to help them comply with REACH. |
