What You Get
- Configured REACH workflows and usable templates
- Centralized, auditable evidence trail
- Clear ownership (RACI) across teams
- Fewer last-minute escalations
What We Need
- Export of articles/BOMs and part masters
- Supplier list + contacts (if available)
- Existing declarations/test reports
- One internal owner for decisions

REACH Roles & Typical Obligations (High-Level)
Manufacturer / Importer of Substances/Mixtures
Typical Actions (examples)
Registration obligations for substances; communicate safe-use information via SDS/exposure scenarios.
Manufacturer / Importer of Articles
Typical Actions (examples)
Article 33 communication to customers when SVHCs are present in articles above relevant thresholds; potential notifications to authorities where applicable.
Downstream User
Typical Actions (examples)

FAQs for REACH
What is EU REACH?
EU REACH (Regulation EC No 1907/2006) is the European Union's harmonized framework governing the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. It enforces the mandatory identification and management of chemical risks throughout global manufacturing supply chains.
Who needs to comply with EU REACH?
Compliance is legally mandatory for EU-based manufacturers, chemical importers, and downstream users, as well as global brands exporting components, finished mixtures, or complex articles into the European Economic Area (EEA).
What are SVHCs?
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) are highly regulated chemical substances categorized by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) due to severe risks like carcinogenicity or environmental persistence. ECHA updates this list at least twice a year. Shifting concentration thresholds above 0.1% weight-by-weight (w/w) at the component level immediately trigger legally binding Article 33 disclosure mandates.
What is the difference between REACH Candidate List, Annex XIV, and Annex XVII?
The Candidate List contains SVHCs that require immediate supply chain declaration under Article 33. Annex XIV (Authorization List) features substances that are banned from the EU market unless a company receives a specific, time-limited use authorization. Annex XVII (Restriction List) places absolute limits or outright bans on the manufacture, import, or use of specific substances in articles (e.g., lead restrictions in consumer electronics).
What are a manufacturer's obligations under Article 33?
Under REACH Article 33, any supplier of an article containing an SVHC on the Candidate List in a concentration above 0.1% (w/w) must provide the recipient of the article (and consumers upon request within 45 days) with sufficient information to allow safe use of the article, including, at a minimum, the name of that substance.
What is a SCIP dossier and how does Regilient automate it?
A SCIP dossier is a mandatory submission to ECHA's database for Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products) under the Waste Framework Directive. Regilient automatically aggregates your multi-tiered Bill of Materials (BOM) data, applies substance weight calculations, and packages this data into an ECHA-compliant XML file ready for direct bulk upload via the SCIP IT User Platform.
How can Regilient software help with EU REACH compliance?
Regilient software replaces manual spreadsheet triage with live automation. The platform imports engineering BOMs, runs automated substance mass-screening against active ECHA lists, deploys touchless supplier outreach data campaigns, runs real-time declaration error checks, and maintains a centralized, unalterable audit trail for seamless regulatory defense.
