The on-going financial implications of a UK & EU REACH Registration

About this presentation

During the phase in period, up to 2018, REACH was considered by many to be a one-off cost of fees and data, potentially followed by some reimbursements as the total number of registrants became clear. It was expected that there may be some additional testing requested by ECHA but only a small percentage of dossiers would be checked. On the whole, the expectation was that after 2018, unless you were unlucky, there would be no further costs for holding a REACH registration.

The reality has been very different with an increase in the number of compliance checks, updated testing requirements, Brexit and now potentially additional fees. Mick Goodwin will explore some of these concepts, highlighting current areas of concern for registrants, as well as looking ahead to potential future considerations.
