REACH Services for Distributors and Traders

The REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals - No. 1907/2006) places compliance requirements on companies importing chemicals and preparations in the EU. The obligations placed on chemical distributors by the REACH regulation are complex and fraught with many choices and options that could have a profound impact on business. In particular, the REACH regulation directly affects a distributor’s ability to sell chemicals into the EU.

"...the wording of the definitions for Distributor, Downstream user and for Use are confusing for a business involved in modern day chemical distribution."
