The main content of REACH
The Impact of REACH System on China's Export Trade
1. Wide range of industries affected: In addition to having a direct impact on chemical enterprises, REACH will have an impact on all enterprises producing downstream chemical products, including textiles, electromechanical, toys, furniture, etc., involving over 1 million types of products.
2. The export cost of enterprises has greatly increased: according to EU estimates, the basic testing cost for each chemical substance is about 85000 euros, and the testing cost for each new substance is about 570000 euros.
3. The required amount of data is large: REACH requires a series of registration archive technical documents such as chemical safety data sheets, safety assessment reports, and risk assessments, which involve a complex and massive amount of data.
Introduction to the REACH instruction
What is REACH - 'Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals' is a regulation of the European Union for the preventive management of all chemicals entering its market. It was officially implemented on June 1, 2007.
The purpose of REACH
Protecting human health and the environment; Maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry; Increase the transparency of chemical information; Reduce vertebrate testing; Consistent with the international obligations of the European Union under the WTO framework.
In essence, REACH regulations will promote innovation in the chemical industry, enabling it to produce safer products, stimulating competition and growth. Unlike the current complex regulatory system, REACH will create a unified chemical management system within the EU, enabling enterprises to produce new chemicals and their products following the same principles.
Implementation Timetable
REACH officially implemented on June 1, 2007
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) was established and put into operation in June 2008
Pre registration of Phase in Substances from June 1 to December 1, 2008

Registration
All existing and new chemicals with an annual production capacity exceeding 1 ton, as well as chemical substances used in various products, are required to register their basic information. Only registered substances can be produced or imported within the EU.
Each manufacturer and importer of a substance must submit a registration file for that substance to the Chemical Administration and pay the corresponding fee. However, it is required to jointly submit registration information for the same substance, following the principle of 'one substance, one registration'. As a member of joint registration, the registration fee can be shared with other members.
In order to facilitate management and accept the submission of a large number of registration records, the registration records submitted to the Chemical Department need to be processed electronically. The Chemical Administration will give each received registration file a registration number and date, and immediately transmit this information to the registrant.
Within three weeks after submitting the registration documents, the Chemical Department will conduct a completeness confirmation of the submitted registration documents to confirm that the file meets the requirements for REACH registration. If the registration dossier is incomplete, the Chemical Administration will notify the registrant to submit further information within the prescribed time limit within three weeks from the date of registration submission, in order to complete the registration dossier.
For phased substances, a pre registration procedure is provided. By pre registering the substance, it can continue to be produced and sold within the EU, as long as it is officially registered before the specified deadline.
For phased substances, there are a large number of registrations that need to be completed within the deadline. Therefore, for each registration submitted, the Chemical Department needs to check the completeness of the registration information within 3 weeks; However, for each registration submitted within 2 months before the deadline, the EU will check the completeness of the registration within 3 months.
The registrant is required to submit updated files to the Chemical Department within the set deadline and request the submission of missing information. Then the Chemical Department determines the submission date for these information and further checks the integrity of the updated files within 3 weeks.
If the registrant fails to complete the registration within the deadline, the registration will be rejected by the Chemical Administration, and the manufacturer or importer will not be able to start or continue the manufacture or import of the substance.
If necessary, the Chemical Administration will forward the registration records, registration number and date, and results of integrity checks to the authorities of member countries, manufacturers, and importers to establish that they can take action. Supplementary information submitted for incomplete archives, along with the results of the second integrity check, shall be submitted to the competent authority.
Evaluation
The first purpose is to evaluate the testing methods used by the industry to ensure product safety and to ensure that animal testing is minimized or avoided as much as possible.
The second purpose is to check whether it meets the registration requirements.
The third purpose is to examine the potential hazards of this substance to human health and the environment.
The evaluation provides a series of methods for regulatory authorities to require registrants, as well as a small number of downstream users, to provide further information.
There are two types of assessments: archival assessment and material assessment
File evaluation: The purpose of the management authority's inspection and testing is to avoid unnecessary animal testing and expenses, while also checking whether the registration file meets the registration requirements.
Material assessment: When a substance is suspected to pose a risk to human health and the environment (such as having a similar structure to another substance), the regulatory authority conducts a material assessment. Therefore, all technical archives of the same substance will be evaluated together, and any useful information will be taken into account.
Authorization
REACH recommends establishing a system to manage the use of substances of high concern, so that they can meet the requirements of the regulatory agency after being put on the market.
The management authorities require that effective information on substances and their use processes be taken into account to confirm that the risks arising from their use can be fully controlled or that their economic benefits outweigh the risks.
The first and second types of CMR substances that have irreversible effects on human health, as well as PBT and vPvB substances that can accumulate in biological organisms, are of high concern. Establish a security network for the evaluation system, and identify and identify other substances that have the same hazardous and irreversible effects as CMR, PBT, and vPvB substances one by one.
The regulatory authorities require that high concern substances under the REACH framework must apply for licenses for each use before the deadline, regardless of the amount used each time.
Applicants are obligated to demonstrate that the risks of the substances used can be fully controlled or that their economic benefits outweigh their harmfulness. In addition, applicants must also submit alternative development plans for this substance and a socio-economic analysis report for this substance.
The application will be reviewed by the Risk and Socioeconomic Analysis Committee of the Chemical Administration and a final decision will be made on whether to approve the use of this substance.
The Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF), due to the ease of obtaining experimental data on phased substances, can result in many potential registrants preparing to register the same substance at the same time. In order to facilitate the sharing of information among potential registrants of the same substance, the EU requires phased substance pre registration, taking this opportunity to understand how many potential registrants of the same substance are preparing to register, And potential registrants of the same substance will form the Substance Information Exchange Forum, abbreviated as SIEF. All potential registrants, downstream users, and third parties who pre register the same phased substance, or non registrants who possess the same phased substance, are participants in a substance information exchange forum (SIEF).
The purpose of each substance information exchange forum should be:
(a) Facilitate the exchange of information between potential registrants for registration purposes to avoid duplicate research.
(b) Agree on the classification and labeling of substances that may differ among potential registrants. On the Information Exchange Forum (SIEF), it is possible to:
1. 20 months after the regulations come into effect, check whether there have been any experimental studies;
2. Within 2 weeks, the holder of the test results shall issue a certificate to the searcher;
3. Negotiate cost sharing;
4. The holder of the test results shall provide the test results within 2 weeks after receiving the fees;
5. If there is no experiment, the participants will negotiate the trial bearer and cost sharing;
6. If the holder of the experimental results refuses to provide it, the management bureau shall provide the research abstract in a timely manner, and the holder of the results has the right to request that the expenses be shared equally.
Before conducting vertebrate experiments, participants in SIEF should query the database through SIEF to determine whether relevant studies have been conducted. If a relevant research result can be obtained within the SIEF, participants in the SIEF who need to conduct vertebrate experiments request to obtain the research result within a specified period of 2 months.
Within 2 weeks of making this request, the owner of the research result should provide proof of its cost to the requesting participant. Participants and everyone should take appropriate steps to reach an agreement on how to share costs. If an agreement cannot be reached on this, the cost should be evenly shared. Everyone should provide the research results within 2 weeks of receiving payment.
If a study involving vertebrate experiments cannot be obtained within SIEF, participants should contact other participants in SIEF who have submitted information on the use of the same or similar substances, as well as participants who may need to conduct the study; They should take all reasonable steps to agree who will represent the other participants in the experiment.
If the owner of a research result refuses to provide proof of the cost of the research or the research result itself to other participants, then other participants should assume that they cannot obtain any relevant research results within the SIEF and continue to act, unless other registrants submit a registration containing the research summary or main research summary. In these circumstances, the Chemical Department should make a timely decision to provide the research summary to other participants. Other registrants should have the right to demand that participants share the expenses equally, which can be enforced through national courts.
REACH Substances of High Concern (SVHC)
Substances that meet the requirements of Article 57 of REACH are usually considered a highly concerned substance (SVHC). For substances of high concern (SVHC) that meet the following conditions, notification is required in accordance with Article 7 (2) of REACH:
