What if a phase-in substance is not pre-registered by 1 December 2008?
(a) First-time Manufacturer or Importer: Only if the company is a so called first-time manufacturer or importer of that substance in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year after the pre-registration deadline has passed. Manufacture or import for the first time, refers to the first time after the entry into force of REACH (1 June 2007). First-time manufacturers or importers must pre-register within six months after the first manufacture or import reaches the 1 tonne threshold, and not later than 12 months before the relevant deadline for registration. The same applies for imported articles that contain a phase-in substance for which registration is required.
