UK-based chemical companies – no evidence of preparedness

According to ECHA, there is no clear evidence for any significant increase in only representative appointments in the EU27 by UK-based chemical companies. Nevertheless, Brexit related inquiries are increasing, and ECHA is preparing further instructions for companies. According to ECHA’s registration statistics, the UK’s role in the supply chain of chemicals is significant, involving 5,508 importers and/or manufacturers of chemicals and 4,912 only representatives appointed by non-EEA countries in order to import substances to the single market.
