GB company relying on EU authorisation

Maintaining access to GB market

If you were relying on an authorisation that is held by an EU company, you should have notified the HSE via email the following information within 60 days of the UK leaving EU REACH:

• the existing EU authorisation
• any conditions set out in the existing EU authorisation
• the identity of the supplier of the substance 

 However, if ECHA did not provide its final opinion on the authorisation application submitted by an EU applicant or the Commission did not make a final decision, the GB downstream user can’t benefit from the authorisation application and needs to apply for a UK REACH authorisation.  Further information is available here
