What it is

Under Article 8 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH), a natural or legal person established outside the EU who manufactures a substance, formulates a mixture or produces an article may appoint a natural or legal person established in the Union to fulfil, as Only Representative, the obligations on importers. The Only Representative works through ECHA's REACH-IT system (ECHA account login). Our fee covers the OR appointment and REACH-IT account maintenance; a full registration dossier, Letter of Access and ECHA official fees are quoted separately.
