So far I've carefully avoided getting pulled into this quagmire but a
marketing type wander by with a question. I don't know his reference
point but basically he was under the impression that REACH had some
sort of tonnage requirement and that below that number it didn't
require REACH compliance.I.E he had 200 units to send to Bulgaria and
that this was below this annual tonnage value for the year.
It doesn't work quite like that, and the way it does work is very
complicated. As from June 2013, you have to apply REACH provisions for
any substance you cause to be imported in greater than 100 tons, and any
substance of very high concern (SVHC).
There is a comprehensive explanation at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registration,_Evaluation,_Authorisation_and
_Restriction_of_Chemicals
This has a link to download all 849 pages of Regulation (EC) No
1907/2006. I have to say that the wording is in general much more lucid
than in many Directives and Regulations.
