ECHA plans to inspect formulators in 2011

During its eighth meeting from 12 – 13 October 2010 in Helsinki, the REACH Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) approved a new enforcement project focused on downstream users who formulate mixtures.

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.
