Industry trends and advanced topics related to REACH Only Representative

Intertek (www.intertek.com) is pleased to host a free online webinar on the “Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals” (REACH) Only Representative option for non-EU producers of regulated chemicals, substances, preparations and finished articles. Before December 1, 2008, non-EU producers will have to decide between four choices for REACH pre-registration which will have a vast impact on their future position and ability to sell products in the European marketplace:

  • Pre-register their products through an importer
  • Pre-register their products through an Only Representative
  • Request that pre-registration be performed by upstream suppliers
  • Terminate sales of their products to the EU.

Join us on March 18th at 2:00 pm Eastern Time for a free 1-hour online webinar to review the principal mechanisms allowing non-EU companies to participate in the pre-registration and registration processes, and achieve REACH compliance.

Topics to be addressed:

  • Why non-EU companies cannot directly register their products under REACH
  • Evolving trends in REACH
  • Pros and cons of REACH pre-registration and registration by importers
  • Pros and cons of REACH pre-registration and registration by an Only Representative
  • Expanding role of the registrant
  • What your representative needs to do
  • What your representative needs to know
  • Auditing your representative
  • Overcoming disclosure issues
  • An update on REACH registration and REACH-IT
