Your assumption is correct. The OEM has not determined whether the product contains any SVHC's. The Reseller has imported it into Europe. Christine

I am assuming that SVHC is present or the product is an SVHC. To my understanding, an entity that incorporates articles to create a product is responsible to track any REACH identified SVHCs that are present in the product. When sales of the product provide an exceeding of the substance(s) aggregate limit(s) for reporting, then reporting is to be made. Christine would request from the OEM a statement indicating if any of the identified SVHCs are present in the product that is being incorporated into product. If the OEM product is an identified substance then reporting is required.

That is to say, it doesn't matter what anyone else is doing for a specific product, whether they be the OEM or a distributor, or a gray-market re-seller, an EU importer is directly and totally responsible for the REACH conformance of the products they import. An importer could have contractual arrangements with their suppliers and push conformance obligations to the supplier, but the importer is still on the hook. One (external to the EU) can sell non-conforming products to unsuspecting importers (in the EU) all day long without being in danger of REACH violations. It might violate the fine print terms and conditions in the contracts one has established with their in-EU clients. A more detailed response depends on who is internal and external to the EU in the supply chain you describe, and who is a client of who (whom?)

Since the OEM introduced the product into Europe via their reseller are there any ramifications to us for selling this product without it being compliant to the REACH Directive? The product is a network Intrusion Protection /Monitoring Device which could be used with a Server. Any input on REACH enforcement in general is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
