The EU REACH Regulation was brought into UK law on 1 January 2021 and this is known as UK REACH. UK REACH requires UK manufacturers/importers to register their chemical substances to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) by the designated registration deadlines if the tonnage exceeds 1 TPA. To know more about your obligation under UK REACH and CLP, GPC has prepared a webinar event on this for you and your team. 

UK-REACH has been described as mirroring its EU counterpart. Non-EU manufacturing companies can appoint an Only Representative (OR) in the UK to carry out the required UK REACH registrations and also doing the Downstream User Import Notification (DUIN) thereby getting the transition period up to 6 years to register the chemicals within UK REACH. 

Together with the UK REACH, Great Britain also adopts its own regimes for the classification, labelling and packaging (CLP).CLP is based on the United Nations' Globally Harmonised System (GHS) and its purpose is to ensure manufacturers, importers or downstream users of substances or mixtures classify, label and package their hazardous chemicals appropriately before placing them on the market. 

This webinar focuses mainly on your obligations as a non-EU/EEA-based manufacturer holding an EU REACH registration through an EU/EEA-based OR and wishing to maintain access to the GB market via. The webinar also provides an overview of your obligations as a non-EU/EEA manufacturer wishing to place a non-EU REACH-registered substance on the GB market for the first time.
