The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is urging companies to seriously prepare for a no-deal Brexit scenario, due to take place on 31 October 2019. The warning encourages downstream users especially, who may rely on supply chains originating from a UK-based REACH registration to prepare for the eventuality of a no deal, which would make the UK a ‘’third country’’ and registrations by UK manufacturers and importers in some cases become void. More information about the possible disruptions to supply chains and registered substances is available here.
