Unregistered chemicals will not be exported to Europe

According to the European Chemicals Agency, as of December 1 this year, the deadline for the first official registration of the REACH regulation will take effect. In other words, some chemical companies will no longer be able to export to Europe unless they are officially registered with the agency.
“Compared with the fiery situation during the pre-registration in 2008, dye enterprises responded very coldly to formal registration. The formal registration situation is also very unsatisfactory. Everyone is holding a wait-and-see attitude.” China Dye Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as “China Dyeing Association” ") Secretary-General Tian Liming introduced.
According to the REACH Regulation implementation schedule, from June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008, it is the pre-registration phase. “The so-called pre-registration, in layman's terms, is registration, and pre-registered chemical companies will respond to the There is a certain buffer period before the deadline for the registration of different tonnages,” said Wang Wei, China's technical director of Intertek Chemical Services.
Relevant personnel said that a product from the zero data status to complete the registration, about 10 million yuan. Of course, companies will have some data, so the actual cost will not reach this number, but it is also quite high. It is this high cost that “scared” many companies that are ready to officially register.
The Intertek Group suggests that many chemical companies in China should establish two views: "No data, no market", "The sooner the registration is, the cheaper".
"No data, no market" is not difficult to understand. After all, unregistered chemical companies will lose the European market after the exemption period ends, but why is the "earlier to register, the cheaper"?
Wang Hao said that there are two sources of data for a product: One is to purchase or obtain free data from the data owner, and the other is to test it on their own. Data owners of dye products are mainly concentrated in the hands of European giants, such as BASF, Klein, Destar, etc. These companies generally set up associations to set prices for member prices and data usage rights. For example, the organic pigment guild is such that the current right to use the price is not low, but it will also charge an average of 10% of the late fees each year. If a substance is purchased in 2018, the price will be twice as much as it is now! It's just a price increase."
For substances that have not yet been established or have not dominated the registrants, the Chinese Dyeing Association is currently taking the lead in joint registration by enterprises and “bundling” in order to become a data owner and substantially reduce the formal registration fee. After all, the joint submission price is based on the participation of the company. Quantity and amortized.
