UK REACH

UK REACH (New and Existing Chemical Substances)

We provide a variety of services related to REACH registration (new and existing chemical substances).
According to the UK REACH regulation, it is mandatory for chemical substances that are imported into the UK in quantities of 1 t or more per year must be registered with Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Business contents

Prior consulting

We provide application plans suitable for the business plan, including the quantity of new and existing chemicals being manufactured and imported, and the purpose of import.

Application work

  • Selection and arrangement of the only representative in Great Britain
    We propose a local consultant with sufficient background in the practical registration procedures as an only representative.
    We can also confirm compliance with the requirements for a manufacturer, formulator or article producer, established outside Great Britain who can appoint only representative.
    After registration is completed, we provide a registration service by an only representative.
  • Total support from the proposal of substances for the application (consultation on the details of prior inquiries), conduct of various studies, and the maintenance after the completion of the application and registration
    Total technical support will be provided for the close examination of the necessary information, arrangement of studies, preparation of application documents, GHS Classification, preparation of dossier technical documents, preparation of the risk assessment report (CSR), and response to requests made by HSE.

Reconsignment of studies for applications

We can handle all required research for the application. The study schedules and data reliability are monitored and controlled by our company.

Maintenance of registration after REACH registration (OR operation)

We will be in charge of all legal liability by OR for UK import, including importer control, survey of import results, SDS management, and response to requests for commercial distribution (downstream).

Trustee Service

Registrants are required to collect information from downstream operators in the supply chain and report import volumes, importer information, etc. to the OR every year after registration.
In the trustee service, we obtain the required information from downstream operators who wish to protect confidential information on behalf of the registrant and communicates it to the OR.
We provide a valuable service that OR maintains smoothly its responsibilities by UK REACH, while preserving the position of registrants and confidential affairs of downstream users.
