Here Are Your REACH Compliance Steps

If a product exceeds the exposure and safe harbor level requirements, clear and reasonable warnings are required with one or more of the following elements:

Tell your customers if any article contains an SVHC above 0.1% w/w and add safe-use advice when required.
Notify ECHA (SCIP) if you place over one metric ton a year of an SVHC in articles on the EU market. For more information on your SCIP submission obligations, check out our knowledge article.
Secure authorization for Annex XIV substances used in EU manufacturing.
Check Annex XVII to make sure no restricted substance or use condition is being overlooked, including coatings, adhesives, or surface treatments applied to the article.

Register any SVHC you manufacture or import at over one metric ton per year and keep the dossier current.
If you’re outside the EU, appoint an “only representative” to handle registration.
Make sure every intended use is already covered in the registration dossier or by an Annex XIV authorization. If a new use exceeds the threshold, notify your supplier so they can update their dossier or submit a new-use registration to ECHA yourself.
Check Annex XVII to confirm there are no restriction limits or bans on your use case and apply any required exposure controls.
Maintain safety data sheets in the latest EU format and pass them downstream.

Confirm every use is covered by your supplier’s registration dossier or by an Annex XIV authorization; if not, apply for your own authorization or substitute the substance.
Verify that no Annex XVII restriction bans or puts conditions on your use; implement all required exposure controls.
Tell upstream suppliers about any uses not already covered and pass updated safety data sheets and exposure scenarios along the supply chain.
