Posted By Chris Packham Basically correct, except that there is provision within REACH for pre-registration for a substance that has not yet been introduced into the EU. Note that REACH is only concerned with single substances so if the chemical contains more than one substance, i.e. is a preparation, then each substance will have to be pre-registered separately.
