Free Webinar: UK REACH what should organisations be doing now?

Save your spot on this free webinar – Thursday 11 March, 14:00 (GMT)

UK REACH came into effect on 1 January 2021. UK REACH is a replication of EU REACH, applicable only to Great Britain (GB), with some changes to make it suitable for its market. Organisations who place products on the market in England, Wales or Scotland have obligations under UK REACH but there is still a lot of confusion on what organisations need to do and by when.

In partnership with NCEC, we invite you to this webinar where you will find out what your organisation needs to do to comply with UK REACH and continue to have access to the GB market. NCEC REACH regulation experts will talk you through:

  • Who has an obligation to register under UK REACH.
  • How to benefit from transitional measures and deferred registration deadlines under UK REACH – grandfathering and downstream user import notifications (DUINs).
  • The benefits to non-GB organisations of employing an Only Representative (OR) to address UK REACH obligations on behalf of their customers.
  • Outlook and next steps for UK REACH.
