Firm dealing in chemicals is considered as dangerous and harmful for human beings and environment. It seems that it might be creating lots of changes to the nature, thus giving rise to many threats to the environment.
This means that in the United Kingdom regulations that are set by Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and registration of Chemicals (REACH) are framed so that this problem could be overcome. However, to any firm, getting REACH compliance is a difficult exercise since it requires several specific needs. You will be able to meet these requirements by a professional body which is named as Caplinq services.
For non-European Union producers of substances and mixtures, Caplinq Services act as REACH Only Representative. The EU based customers receive a certificate of REACH compliance every year, if there is a case that Caplinq acts as your REACH Only Representative. This is the claim of the certificate that your clients are only downstream users. Not only this, but it also claims that they are not importers any more. Downstream users (DU) have obligations under the REACH regulation. Typically, a DU is a company that purchases a chemical from an EU manufacturer or from a distributor that has already imported the goods into the EU. The downstream users need to take care of how much product they buy and use every year, and they must ensure that their supplier is REACH compliant. This suggests that all the registrations and pre-registrations are taken care and your Only Representatives are Caplinq services. Therefore, it will cover all your products. It implies as well that Caplinq services will take over all the REACH obligations and requirements from the European customers. Thus, your substances will be pre-registered and registered and it will help you in keeping all the necessary records and your full REACH compliance will be ensured and guaranteed. However, it will be equivalent to purchasing the products from EU-based supplier for your clients.
The provision of complete freedom to sell to every person in Europe is the most important advantage provided by the Caplinq services when it acts as your Only Representative. It avoids limitations to the importers who have pre-registered or registered your substances. This means that importers are not bound to follow these limitations. It also protects your confidential business information being shared with your customers. Hence, you privacy is also ensured. Another advantage is cost saving that is sole central registration and pre-registration by Caplinq and not separate pre-registration and registration for each importer. It also allows permanent monitoring of the changing REACH obligations. Thus, Reach duties are constantly observed.
It should be taken into consideration that REACH affects articles as well not only substances. Articles under this regulation are special designed objects which are more importance than their chemical composition. It is important to note that in case of Non-European producers there are two options, either to leave REACH compliance altogether to their European customers or to engage an Only Representative in order to take away customer’s obligations.
