ECHA plans to inspect formulators in 2011

This project is called “REACH-En-Force 2” and will aim to ensure compliance with duties placed on formulators of mixtures because they are seen as having important responsibilities further down the supply chain for many essential requirements imposed by the REACH and CLP Regulations. Specifically, the inspectors will control the supply-chain related obligations for substances in the mixtures prepared by formulators as well as the CLP (classification, labelling and packaging) notification requirements. In addition, they will check if the substances placed on the market in mixtures are registered or pre-registered. The inspectors will also raise awareness of the future obligations for downstream users with relation to the extended safety data sheet.
