INERIS (Under the auspices of the Ministry of Ecological and Solidary Transition), has made available on its website an educational material dedicated to enterprises with a view to next deadline for the registration of chemicals under REACH as of 1 June 2018 (cf. Atmopshere International of March 2017).

The document available for download that presents an overview of the recording process is entitled: « One successful recording in 7 phases« .

Many French-language materials are available on the website of INERIS, including educational videos on the REACH process:

RECALL

The European REACH Regulation requires all manufacturers and importers of substances (including substances imported in the form of mixtures) to register more than 1 tonne per year with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

The most dangerous substances (e.g. CMR) and manufactured or imported at more than 100 tonnes/year must already be registered in order to be placed on the market.

The REACH Regulation provides for three registration deadlines for pre-registered substances. The final deadline of 1 June 2018 is for substances manufactured or imported in very small quantities (between 1 and 100 tonnes/year).

If they were not registered before 1 June 2018, they will no longer be placed on the market. This deadline mainly concerns small businesses.
