 Third Party and Only Representative Services

If you are a producer exporting products containing chemicals to the European Union, you face a big challenge in the coming years. REACH, the new EU Chemicals Regulation has major impact on your company and the timeline is tight.

 

On 30 November 2008, all chemicals used or produced must be pre-registered, either by your EU clients or by a legal entity of your company in the EU. If not, the EU may close its market to your products.

The best solution to avoid this from happening is to appoint or create this legal entity, termed an ‘Only Representative' (OR).

 

PricewaterhouseCoopers and Royal Haskoning have together set up the REACH Shared Service Desk, a ready-made and fully equipped Only Representative, over which you would have total control. With this facility, you can register or pre-register a substance in plenty of time and safeguard your products' access to the EU market. Explore this website to find out more about this service, or contact us for more information.

If REACH urges you to register substances like intermediates or unique specialty chemicals, you will be facing a big challenge to secure the way you comply with data-sharing obligations in the coming years. REACH, a new set of regulations governing the importing, production and sale of chemicals within the EU is set to have a major impact on your company - and the timeline is tight.

 

On November 30, 2008, all chemicals that you produce or import to put on the market in the EU must be pre-registered. The pre-registration data will be used to form a Substance Information Exchange Forum in which you have datasharing obligations. To avoid unnecessary sharing of market information with your competitors in a SIEF there are some issues:

  • You may appoint a Third Party Representative (TPR) to remain unknown to the members of the SIEF;
  • You may voluntarily prepare for SIEF data sharing in a consortium, this may allow you to have a more efficient registration process.
