European Perspectives

Defining a System for the Notification of Polymers

A system for the notification of polymers should be defined in the event of a change in their treatment under REACH.

March 3, 2022

At present, polymers do not have to be registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). Nevertheless, a possible change in the treatment of polymers is envisioned in Article 138(2) of REACH, which may result in polymers being included in the registration requirements.
