Introduction - About Assent

The World is Becoming More Regulated - Assent Helps

Introduction
❖ REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 18 December 2006
❖ 2 Major Responsibility Sectors
➢ Articles vs. Substances and Mixtures
❖ 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

So Many Lists...how do they all fit?

CoRAP - 134 Substance Evaluations
PACT-RMOA (http://echa.europa.eu/addressing-chemicals-of-concern/substances-of-potential-concern/pact)

action-plan/corap-table)
❖ Final CoRAP was adopted Mar 17
