REACH Only Representative

ONLY REPRESENTATIVE

REACH requires that all companies that place a substance in quantities of one tonne or more per year on the EU market, register it with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). However, registration can only be performed by EU-based companies.

Non-EU-based companies can assign an only representative, who registers the substances they manufacture on their behalf. In this case, their customers will be considered downstream users and will not have to perform the registration.

Advantages of appointing an only representative:

  • Obtaining EU market access
  • Releasing your customers from registration obligation
  • Avoiding dependency on a single importer
  • Acquiring a competitive edge over other non-EU suppliers who do not have their own registration
