The EU and UK REACH regulations govern over 20,000 chemical substances placed in the UK and EU marketplaces. These are multifaceted pieces of legislation, and navigating them can seem like an obstacle to registration success. Enviresearch is here help overcome these challenges by offering one hour of our time as free consultancy.
The UK has left the European Union, and from 1 January 2021 separate registrations are needed concerning chemical substances governed by the REACH legislation placed on the market in the EU and in the UK.
Some of our team here at Enviresearch recently attended the Chemical Watch’s annual Biocides Europe conference, which was held virtually on Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd December 2020. It brought together leading figures from industry, member state competent and regulatory authorities, as well as the European Commission and Echa.
An important new requirement set in article 7 of this Regulation is “The application for renewal shall be submitted via the central submission system using IUCLID software package”
At Enviresearch, we will be glad to support you in using the IUCLID software. Please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.

The UK has left the EU, and is currently in a transition period which will come to an end on 31 December 2020. After this period the United Kingdom will implement its own independent chemicals regulatory framework ‘UK REACH’. This will mean that for market access in the EU and UK, separate registrations will be needed for substances under both (EU) REACH and UK REACH. The UK government has provided updated guidance on the measures needed for registrations under the new UK REACH system.
As the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement transition period nears its end, the UK government has published updated guidance on complying with the new UK REACH regulation Under UK REACH, manufactures and importers will have a duty to register chemicals that are produced, distributed or sold in the UK. This change means companies should review their substance registrations and roles in chemical supply chains to ensure continued compliance in the UK and/or the EU where separate registrations will be needed.
