Dear Valued Customer,
The new European REACH legislation entered into force on June 1,
2007. Substances in volumes over one ton per year must be
neither manufactured nor imported into the EU as neat products,
mixtures or articles, unless they are registered.
Transitional periods are granted under the REACH Regulation for
existing substances in order to perform comprehensive
registration tasks. These transitional periods range from 3.5 to
11 years depending on volumes and certain health and
environmental classifications. To benefit from these
transitional periods, manufacturers/importers must pre-register
a substance by the end of November 2008.
As the premier supplier of millable urethanes and additives to
the global market, TSE Industries is committed to meet its
obligations under REACH. We are happy to communicate our current
plan to our customers.
First, TSE’s European Distributor, plans to pre-register all
relevant products to support direct sale of these products on
the European market. This will support customers who purchase
products in Europe.
Simultaneously, TSE would like to protect all US customers who
export TSE product(s) to Europe as neat products or in
preparations / mixtures and articles. If you are a direct
exporter of TSE products to the European Union please complete
and return the form below indicating the TSE products and the
volume that you export. The information you provide will be used
by TSE solely for the purpose of pre-registering our products.
Whether or not you directly export product to the European
Union, please provide the contact information for your
Regulatory Compliance Manager for future communication on this
issue.
Please respond by October 20 and feel free to contact us at
Reach@tse-industries.com or by fax to 727-540-1349, if you have
any questions or concerns.
TSE Industries Inc.
