REACH Rule The First Official Registration Deadline Will Take Effect.

In December 1st of this year, REACH regulation The first official registration deadline will take effect, the registration requirements for new chemical substances will be stricter and will become an important condition for enterprises to pass the EIA. Foreign trade enterprises exporting to the EU will not be able to export to Europe if they fail to get official registration. For Zhejiang, the number of enterprises affected is up to 30 thousand -5, involving most of Zhejiang's bulk export products. However, from the understanding of Zhejiang provincial chamber of Commerce and other relevant departments, most enterprises still choose to wait and see, less than half of their actions.

　　 Official registration There are less than 20 enterprises in Zhejiang Province.

Ding Yong, chairman of Hangzhou Rui lotus Technology Co., Ltd., specializing in the work of technical barriers to trade, said that enterprises affected by the REACH regulations are mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. The industries involved include upstream enterprises such as organic materials, plastics, pesticides, and downstream manufacturing industries such as textile, clothing, electronics, light industry, household appliances, pharmaceuticals and toys. In Zhejiang, there are about 1500 upstream and downstream enterprises and 30 thousand -5 million. The products exported by these enterprises are exactly the main export commodities of Zhejiang's foreign trade.

According to Hangzhou customs statistics, 1-8 months of this year, Zhejiang Province The export of mechanical and electrical products, textile yarn fabrics and products, clothing and accessories separately amounted to 83 billion 180 million US dollars, accounting for 71.6% of the total export value of the province.

No registration will gradually lose the market, so that foreign customers will lose their right to speak and be controlled by others. In fact, since the promulgation and implementation of the EU REACH regulations in June 2007, the relevant departments in Zhejiang have attached great importance to it. The provincial commerce department and the provincial Commission for letters and commissions issued a policy of registration subsidy to encourage enterprises to respond positively. Currently, the export enterprises that have taken different measures to cope with the problem account for about 50% of the total. But the number of pre registration and formal registration companies is still small. According to the statistics of the Provincial Department of Commerce, there were only more than 400 registered enterprises in Zhejiang in 2008, and fewer than 20 enterprises have officially registered this year.

Wait-and-see enterprises should act as soon as possible.

Shangyu Chuang Feng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is an enterprise which mainly produces additives in building materials, food and medicine. Its annual export volume is around 250 million yuan, and 35% is exported to Europe. In July this year, Chuang Feng chemical industry has just completed three substances REACH regulations officially registered, the registration fee of each substance is around 150 thousand euros.

Xie Weifeng, general manager of Chuang Feng chemical industry, said that many enterprises were "scared away" by high registration fees. A product from zero data status to the completion of registration, there are two ways, one is self detection, this cost even up to tens of millions of yuan, and after the acquisition, whether the European chemical authority admits it is unknown; the other is data owner buying or getting free data, such as polymer cellulose and dyestuff products data owner, mainly concentrated in the hands of several European giants, such as BASF, Klein, Texas, etc., these enterprises will set up a general association to set the price of membership price and data usage right. Chuang Feng Chemical is purchased from them, and the cost is relatively low.

Ding Yong believes that chemical enterprises should set up two points: "no data, no market", "the sooner the registration is cheaper." He said that the EU Member States increased the amount of substance tested every year. In the first batch of 2009, only 15 substances were included in the "high attention substance". In July this year, only 38 substances had been added to the market, and the number of countries adopting similar REACH regulations will only increase. There will be no data and will not be able to get anywhere in the international market. In addition, the price of data holders for all kinds of data will also increase year by year, such as alumina. Before November 30th this year, the registration fee of less than 1000 tons will be 2000 dollars. By December 1, 2010, May 30th, the registration fee will increase by 50%, and the cost will be doubled after this period. In 2009, the price will rise only if wait-and-see wait.

Enclosure

The REACH regulation is the European Union's regulations for preventive management of all chemicals entering the market. All existing chemicals that require annual production of more than 1 tons and chemical substances used in various products are registered with their basic information. Only registered substances can be produced or imported in the European Union. The manufacturer and importer of each substance shall submit the registration document of the substance to the chemical administration department and pay the corresponding fee. In addition to having a direct impact on chemical enterprises, the REACH regulations affect the production of downstream chemical products, including textile, electromechanical, toys, furniture and so on. There are about 1000000 kinds of products involved. The REACH regulation was formally promulgated and implemented in June 2007. It is the biggest technical barrier to trade since China's accession to the WTO.
