Do you produce articles?

An article is an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design which determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical composition. This would include jewellery, clothing and furniture for example. The producer of an article makes or assembles the article in the EU including Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Northern Ireland but excluding Great Britain.

Have you determined whether you need to Register any substance(s) in any article you produce?

Producers must register substances in articles with the European Chemicals Agency if the substance is present in all produced articles in quantities of one tonne or more per year and the substance is intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.

Do you need to notify any substances of very high concern contained in any article you produce?

Article producers must notify substances listed on the candidate list to ECHA if they are present in all produced articles in quantities of one tonne or more per year and the substance is present in each article at 0.1% w/w or more.

If articles containing 0.1% w/w or more of a substance on the candidate list are placed on the market, sufficient information must be provided to enable safe use of the article, including as a minimum the name of the substance.

Have you determined whether any of the substance(s) in any article you produce is Restricted?

Articles containing substances listed on Annex XVII (Restriction List) may only be placed on the market if they comply with the specific conditions of the restriction.
