REACH Implementation Countdown &Nbsp; Textile Enterprises How To Deal With

REACH implementation schedule

REACH was formally implemented in June 1, 2007.

In June 2008, the EU chemicals management institution was established and started operation.

June 1, 2008 -12 1, pre registration of phased substances (Phase-inSubstances).

The material information exchange forum (SIEF) was established in January 2009.

Appendix 17 REACH June 2009 restrictive substances clause entered into force.

In December 2010, the annual output or import volume of more than 1000 tons of chemical substances, annual output or import volume of more than 1 tons were classified into 1 and 2 types of CMR substances according to directive 67/548/EEC. Annual output or import volume of 100 tons or more was classified according to the directive 67/548/EEC N:R50-53 into the high water biological toxicity substances that cause negative effects of aquatic environment for a long period.

Chemical products with annual output or import volume exceeding 100 tons in June 2013 have been registered.

Chemical products with annual output or import volume exceeding 1 tons in June 2018 have been registered.

November 30, 2010 is the deadline for the first registration of substances to be completed in the EU REACH regulations.

At that time, Chinese enterprises, as non EU manufacturers, will face the dilemma of refusal to enter customs, return or even abandon the EU market if substances and products which are not officially registered according to the relevant requirements of the European Chemicals authority.

The core of the EU REACH regulation is "NoData, Nomarket" (no data, no market), and the EU, as one of the most important chemical markets in the world, is important to enterprises and should make prudent decisions.

From the perspective of pre registration of REACH regulations, domestic enterprises do not fully grasp the correct solutions.

Although the upstream dyestuff industry of the textile industry has rapidly completed the pre registration of more than 1200 varieties, compared with pre registration, the number of products officially registered has been greatly reduced. It is understood that many domestic enterprises are still at a standstill for the official registration.

In the face of complicated REACH regulations and domestic opinions, most of the enterprises in the industry chain are at a loss. In recent days, some exaggerated propaganda claims that all enterprises exporting to the European Union must complete REACH registration in November, resulting in many domestic enterprises having no way to deal with it.

Answer

As enterprises in different links of the textile industry chain, how to deal with the challenges of REACH regulations and correctly fulfill the requirements of laws and regulations is neither blindly exaggerating nor undertaking unnecessary risks.

As the most upstream dye industry in the industry chain, we must directly face the registration requirements of the REACH regulations. How to promote the current official registration? The most urgent task for enterprises is to start from reality and decide whether to register formally and choose the right way to register.

In terms of registered dossier data, dyeing and finishing enterprises have data on basic physical components, physical and chemical characteristics, and lack of testing data related to toxicology of products, which need to be commissioned by internationally recognized GLP (toxicological safety assessment) laboratory.

Enterprises can also purchase data in this area, or related enterprises jointly detect to take the initiative to grasp the toxicological testing data.

At the same time, under the framework of REACH, every material can only have one leading registrant, and dye chemical enterprises should rationally negotiate the leading registrants, formulate the corresponding share price standards and reduce the registration costs. These will be one of the strategic choices for the dyeing and finishing enterprises to deal with the REACH registration examination.

In the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, the final products of the textile industry and its clothing enterprises usually do not release material in the process of using the final products. In the registration requirements, although they do not directly assume the leading role, they also need to respond positively to the requirements of REACH, especially the chemical requirements made by foreign brand buyers in the process of product procurement management, and establish clear and orderly chemical purchasing and utilization processes, and, when necessary, provide timely and accurate registration information for the chemicals used to sell the products.

At the same time, if the product contains the high concentration substances prescribed by REACH (SVHC), the REACH law requires notification to EU officials, and prohibits or restricts the use of REACH restricted substances (RestrictedSubstance) to ensure that the chemical content of such chemicals should not exceed the REACH limit.
