Statement on Compliance with the REACH, Regulation No 1907/2006
(Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals):
Please note that while REACH entered into force on 1st June 2007, the first REACH deadline which determines compliance was 1st December 2008.
Under REACH, companies operating in the EU may face certain obligations as manufacturers, importers and/or downstream users
.
These obligations are staggered and become effective in stages; this means that different deadlines apply over the next ten (10) years.
- 1st June to 1st Dec 2008 - This was the pre registration period for existing substances manufactured or imported into the EU at 1 tonne per annum or more
- 1st Dec 2010 - registration complete for substances of 1000 or more tones per annum or substances of very high concern greater than 1 tonne per annum
- 1st June 2013 - registration complete for substances of 100 or more tones per annum
- 1st June 2018 - registration complete for substances of 1 or more tones per annum
The first REACH deadline and, hence, the first compliance requirement for pre-registration of substances, was the 1st December 2008. This pre-registration phase has now closed and Brother, and parties working on behalf of Brother, have completed the necessary pre-registrations.
REACH requires that sufficient information on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) contained in products in concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) is communicated to allow the safe use of the product. The substances below may be contained within the Brother products listed above the threshold level of 0.1% w/w.
