A possible new interpretation for Articles is on the table but that is not all... There are important lists and annexes associated with REACH compliance that keep updating.
We will review:
• CoRAP - 134 Substance Evaluations
• Restriction Proposal Decisions
• Authorisation Applications
• Registry of Intentions
• Proposed SVHCs
• Recommendations for the Authorization List
We will discuss how these changes affect you and your products. We'll also ensure you know what to focus on and some key tips to practically handle REACH Compliance.

Introduction
❖ REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE

❖ Scope
❖ The General Perception of REACH

Article Interpretation Changing?
❖ Obligations to report SVHCs in articles applies to components incorporated into
articles, not the whole article.
❖ Not legally Binding, tends to influence
❖ Communication – suppliers of entire articles must provide information on SVHCs if
they are present in any of its components and relevant information is “available.”
❖ Notification - producer vs importer responsibilities, notification is rarely in play
❖ Where did this come from?
❖ What now?
➢ We wait on the the Court of Justice ruling

SUMMARY
❖ Waiting on the article interpretation - SVHC Communication could change significantly
❖ Many lists to track but only a select few have actual legal implications
❖ The volume of substances going into the SVHC Process (Authorisation Process) is substantial
To be reactive will be too late. Assent Compliance can help you:
❏ Assess your areas of risk
❏ Assess the impact to your products
❏ Educate your suppliers
❏ Test where required
❏ Prepare for the update to the relevant documentation
You must be tracking all of these changes and the impact to your products to stay in compliance, meet
the needs of your customers and stay...
