This Orgalime guide is intended to provide practical guidance to downstream users using chemicals in their industrial (including engineering) processes as they prepare themselves to the new legislation. It is also addressed to producers and importers of articles. It does however not extensively address obligations of manufacturers or importers of chemicals, nor the obligations of formulators (“first level downstream users”).
Since the first version issued in May 2007, further REACH provisions have entered into force. The October 2009 update of the guide therefore provides for additional information on selected issues in order to further help companies to understand REACH. These focus more particularly on communication requirements in the supply chain, substances in articles, authorisation and restriction procedures, the Substance Information Exchange Forum and implementing legislation under REACH. Model letters to facilitate communication in the supply chain have also been included.
