Any Indian manufacturer exporting chemical substances (dyes, pigments, APIs), mixtures (paints, inks, adhesives), or finished articles (apparel, electronics, automotive parts, plastic toys) to the European Union.
-
An Only Representative is a legal entity located in the European Union appointed by a non-EU manufacturer to fulfill all statutory REACH registration, reporting, and regulatory obligations, freeing EU buyers from being treated as importers.
-
If a finished article contains a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) from the ECHA Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight, the exporter must provide safe-use instructions to EU buyers and notify the ECHA SCIP database.
-
ECHA updates the SVHC Candidate List twice every year (typically in January and June). Manufacturers must continuously review their formulations to maintain active compliance.
-
Following Brexit, the UK established its own separate UK REACH regime administered by the HSE. Companies exporting to both the EU and the UK must ensure dual compliance under both jurisdictions.
