The EU REACH Regulation was brought into UK law on 1 January 2021 and known as UK REACH. The key principles of the EU REACH Regulation have been retained but UK REACH and the EU REACH regulations operate independently from each other.

 

Companies that supply and purchase substances, mixtures or articles to and from the EU/EEA/Northern Ireland and Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) will need to ensure that the relevant duties are met under both pieces of legislation.

 

Under the Northern Ireland Protocol the EU REACH Regulation continues to apply to Northern Ireland, while UK REACH will regulate the access of substances to the GB market.

 

HSE, as the Agency for UK REACH, has responsibility for most of its regulatory functions.

 

Any GB-based legal entity continuing to import a substance into Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) at or above 1 tonne per year must submit a registration to HSE for that substance (unless an exemption applies). This obligation to register includes the import of substances from the EU.
