Normally, users can refer to the registration duty of their suppliers (manufacturers, importers). However, they are subject to the following obligations:

• Downstream users are responsible for the safe handling with chemicals at work and have to take care of safety measures according to the extended safety data sheet issued by REACH.
  
• Is their own intended use conform with the identified use? If not, the user might have to prepare a chemical safety report by himself.
• Users must communicate with their suppliers and customers. The safety data sheet must be passed on within the delivery chain. Information about hazardous chemicals and/or substances of very high concern must also be passed on within the delivery chain.
  
• You must check the registration or report obligations for direct imports of preparations and articles from non-EU countries. If you import chemicals from non-EU countries, you are the importer.
  
• Even users must report exceedance of the quantity limit 1t/a of hazardous chemicals to the Chemicals’ Agency.
  
• If new dangerous characteristics are discovered, these must be reported to the supplier.

We help you meet the REACH obligations and communicate with suppliers of the delivery chain.
