1 EUROPEAN UNION “REACH” LEGISLATION PRE-REGISTRATION

FOR CHEMICALS BY 1 DECEMBER 2008

This notice is provided for the benefit of Australian companies doing business with or intending to do business with the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway. Failure to pre-register chemical substances during the pre-registration period 1 June 2008 to 1

December 2008 may affect a company’s ability to do business with the EU. This notice is for information only and is not intended to be an authoritative interpretation of EU legislation. The information contained in this notice has been drawn from publicly available sources and not been verified. Independent advice should be sought by all companies intending to pre-register under REACH.

Further information and assistance may be provided by the European Chemicals

Agency ( www.echa.eu

), the EC Delegation in Australia, your European importer, your industry body or national REACH helpdesks in each EU member state.

REACH

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is the

European Union’s (EU) new chemical regulatory regime on chemicals and their safe use

(Regulation EC 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and the European Council, 18

December 2006) .

The REACH Regulation places greater responsibility on industry to manage the risks from chemicals and to provide safety information on chemical substances.

Manufacturers and importers in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway are required to gather information on the properties of their chemical substances, which will allow their safe handling, and to register this information in a central database run by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki. The European Chemicals

Agency will act as the central point in the REACH system: it will “manage the databases necessary to operate the system, co-ordinate the in-depth evaluation of suspicious chemicals” and run a public database in which consumers and professionals can find hazard information.

Compliance with REACH is mandatory for continued sales of chemicals to and within the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway.

For chemicals imported into the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, REACH obligations must be fulfilled by the importers. European importers will have to rely on their suppliers in source countries outside the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway for hazard data and safe use information that are required for a registration. Australia is a source country.

Your exports may be affected if you (or your customers) export

:

• chemical substances (e.g. base chemicals, specialty chemicals, metals, natural substances if they are chemically modified)

• or mixtures (“preparations”) of chemical substances (e.g. cleaning products, formulated process chemicals, paints, motor oils)

• or substances or preparations in containers (e.g. printer cartridges).

• or articles which contain substances which are intentionally released during their use (e.g. fragrance in a scented candle)

• or contain “substances of very high concern” (carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic substances; persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances; very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances as well as substances such as those having endocrine disrupting properties, which give rise to an equivalent level of concerns as the preceding categories) to any of the following 27 European Union (EU) Member States (Austria, Belgium,

Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,

Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Malta,

Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United

Kingdom) or to Iceland, Lichtenstein or Norway.

Chemical substances covered by REACH

** REACH legislation is available via the European Chemicals Agency website **

(Regulation EC 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and the European Council,

18 December 2006) www.echa.eu

REACH covers all chemical substances manufactured in or imported into the EU in quantities above one tonne per year, unless an exemption applies to them.

REACH also applies to chemical substances in preparations (mixtures or solutions of two or more substances) and to chemical substances contained in articles if a substance is likely to be released from the article during the lifetime of the product.

Some specific chemical substances are exempt from registration because they are considered to be of minimum risk. These are listed in Annex IV of the REACH

Regulation (Regulation EC 1907/2006, available via www.echa.eu). Exemptions from registration for certain categories of substances are listed in Annex V of the

REACH Regulation. For example, minerals and ores are exempt. The European

Commission is currently reviewing Annexes IV and V and will publish the outcomes by the end of 2008.


Australia Gazette

No. C 07, 1 July 2008

Registration

Companies that manufacture in or import into the EU one tonne or more of a chemical substance annually are required under REACH to register it in a central database at the European Chemicals Agency.

The registration procedure involves submitting a technical dossier containing information on the substance and guidance on how to handle it safely. For quantities of ten tonnes and more companies need to also submit a Chemical Safety report to document a safety assessment of the substance demonstrating safe handling for identified uses and manufacturing.

Why pre-register phase-in substances?

Substances fulfilling at least one of the following criteria are phase-in substances:

• substances listed in the European Inventory of Existing Commercial

Chemical Substances (EINECS)

• substances that have been manufactured in the EU but have not been placed on the EU market after 1 June 1992

• substances that qualify as a so-called “no-longer polymer”.

Pre-registration is required for phase-in substances so that manufacturers and importers can benefit from the transitional regime and continue with their manufacture or import while they are preparing their registration. Pre-registration requires limited information on each substance to be submitted electronically via the

European Chemicals Agency website.

Chemicals currently in EU (or in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway) markets which meet the definition of phase-in substances should be pre-registered between

1 June and 1 December 2008 : up to 30,000 existing chemicals are expected to be preregistered. Companies which pre-register their substances can benefit from extended registration deadlines.

Who can pre-register?

Only EU-based entities (generally importers and manufacturers) can pre-register.

Companies outside the EU that export to the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway cannot pre-register substances in their own capacity and so must either rely on their EU importer to pre-register or nominate an

Only Representative to pre-register on their behalf.

An Only Representative is a legal entity established in the EU which has sufficient background in the practical handling of substances and the information related to them to be able to fulfil the obligations of importers. (For the full definition and


Australia Gazette

No. C 07, 1 July 2008

8 powers of an Only Representative , see ECHA guidance documents and glossary available on www.echa.eu

).

Once chemical substances are pre-registered, what happens next?

If a substance has been pre-registered by 1 December 2008 the following extended deadlines apply for registration:

• until

30 November 2010

for substances produced or imported in quantities equal to or greater than 1000 tonnes/year; carcinogens, mutagens and substances toxic to reproduction equal to or greater than one tonne/year and substances classified as very toxic to aquatic organisms (R50/53) at and above 100 tonnes/year;

• until

31 May 2013

for substances produced or imported in quantities equal to or greater than 100 tonnes/year; and

• until

31 May 2018 for substances produced or imported in quantities equal to or greater than one tonne/year.

3 HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENTS FOR 25 PHTHALATES AND

PHTHALATES HAZARD COMPENDIUM - FINAL REPORTS

NOW AVAILABLE

Following a public comment phase in 2007, the National Industrial Chemicals

Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) has now finalised Human Health

Hazard Assessments for the following 25 phthalate chemicals.

Common Abbreviation Common Name CAS #

DMP* Dimethyl

68515-49-1

71850-09-4

27554-26-3

* additionally declared as Priority Existing Chemicals for public health risk assessments


No. C 07, 1 July 2008

In addition to these individual hazard assessments, NICNAS has also finalised a Phthalate

Hazard Compendium, providing a comparative hazard analysis of 24 ortho -phthalates. As a result of comments received, discussion on dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) was removed from the

Compendium. DMT is a teraphthalate, structurally distinct from the other phthalates and is not used as a solvent or plasticiser. The coverage of the Compendium, therefore, has been refined as a comparative hazard analysis of 24 ortho

-phthalates.

The Health Hazard Assessments for all 25 phthalates and the Phthalates Hazard Compendium are available as separate documents downloadable from the NICNAS website at www.nicnas.gov.au. In addition, on request, these documents are available free of charge in printed forms or pdf format on a CD-ROM.

Requests for copies (printed or CD-ROMs) of any of these reports should be sent to:

4 NICNAS REGISTRATION RENEWAL 2008-09

All importers and manufacturers of relevant industrial chemicals for commercial purposes must be registered with NICNAS prior to introducing these chemicals regardless of the amount of industrial chemicals imported and / or manufactured.

The NICNAS registration year runs from 1 September to 31 August annually. The following information relates to NICNAS registration renewals for 2008-09.

REMINDER OF RENEWAL DEADLINE

The renewal deadline is 31 August 2008 , the date on which your old registration runs out.

You must renew your registration before it expires.

In July 2008, NICNAS will mail your

Renewal Tax Invoice

and Application form for renewal of registration/ non-renewal. If you are currently registered and do not receive an Invoice by

31 July 2008, please contact NICNAS on 1800 638 528.

Registrants are required to advise NICNAS of any changes to contact details contained in this invoice, where applicable.

A copy of this form is available on the NICNAS website at: www.nicnas.gov.au/Forms/Registration.asp

PENALTIES APPLY TO LATE RENEWALS

The NICNAS registration for a company lapses if it is not renewed by the 31 August 2008 deadline. Applications received after this date will be considered late renewal applications, and subject to a late renewal penalty. The late renewal penalty is calculated at 15% of the total registration cost.

This penalty is mandatory, and payment is required in addition to the registration renewal fee before NICNAS can re-instate your registration.

A late renewal application can only be processed when both the appropriate registration fee

(Tiers 1,2 & 3) and charge (Tiers 2 &3 only), and the appropriate late renewal penalty, have been paid.

The following table shows the costs for late renewals for 2008-09 registration year.

Registration Level Late renewal penalty (rounded to nearest whole $)

Tier 1 Level $57

Tier 2 Level

Tier 3 Level

$228

$1,332
