ELASTOMERICS LIMITED

REACH POLICY STATEMENT

Elastomerics Limited is a distributor of polymeric products and associated additives.  We represent a number of major principals both worldwide and within the European Union.

Most of the products we currently supply have no registration requirements at this time.  However, should this situation change we are not expecting any rationalisation or removal of products from our range.  Our Principals are fully aware of their responsibilities and keep us regularly informed as to any changes that may take place.

We do not handle any material manufactured outside of the European Union that hasn’t or is not in the process of being registered.  Therefore Elastomerics Limited has no plans to carry out registration of any imported products.

Use communication

One of the new aspects that the REACH Regulation introduces is the sharing of Use information between Manufacturers/Importers and Downstream Users.   

To help facilitate the sharing of Use information, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has developed a range of REACH Use Descriptors which will be applicable for all Industries.  These Use Descriptors are designed to describe how products are used in the supply chain.  More information on Use Descriptors can be found on the website of the European Chemicals Agency.
