REACH-inspection will focus on Downstream Users!

For the coming inspection activities, national inspectors will be especially trained on supervising the REACH and CLP obligations for Downstream Users.

As the role of the downstream users is essential in providing information about hazardous substances and a safe use, it is necessary to raise awareness about their duties for REACH and CLP.

Inspectors e.g. will check if
– Downstream Users comply with their obligation to inform users about
  substances in preparations
– they have checked that the substances they buy have been
  registered or not and
– they have followed their CLP notification duties.

As those inspections will start in summer 2011, we recommend double-checking and analyzing your obligations as a Downstream User in order to fully comply with REACH and CLP.
