European Product Registration

You are here

A number of European countries have national legislations requiring registration of certain substances and preparations/mixtures. This legislation is not harmonized at the EU level and is not being changed or impacted by REACH obligations.

The provisions regarding product registration in each of the countries are very different when it comes to which products must be registered and which information is required to be submitted with the registration. In some countries, registered substances and products are assigned a registration number. If these national provisions on product registration are not complied with, the importer or producer may be subject to penalties such as a fine or the authorities may stop the import/production and sale of the product.
