REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 as it applies in Great Britain (UK REACH)
Assimilated Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, as amended (latest: SI 2026/849)
Anyone supplying an article in Great Britain that contains a UK Candidate List substance (SVHC) above 0.1 % by weight must pass on safe-use information, at least the substance name, and answer consumer requests within 45 days. Importers and producers of articles must also notify HSE above 1 tonne a year. Companies relying on EU registrations have until 2029–2031 to submit GB dossiers.
Who is covered
Producers, importers and suppliers (including distributors and retailers) of articles in Great Britain; GB manufacturers and importers of substances at 1 tonne a year or more. No size exemption: the article duty starts at 0.1 % w/w per article; the HSE notification at 0.1 % w/w and more than 1 tonne of the substance a year per producer or importer.
Your duties
