Some Considerations on the Scope of REACH: Importance of the correct legal Classification of Substances
The REACH Regulation lays down a differentiated legal regime according to the legal classification of each substance. Thus, it is not applicable to specific products or substances such as waste, and it lays down a slacker system for other related categories such as by-products, second raw materials or intermediates.
The adoption of the REACH Regulation has toughened the administrative intervention regime with regard to manufacturers, importers and downstream users of substances included under the scope of the Regulation. However, the degree of intervention and hence the legal status of these persons differs on the basis of the legal classification of the substance. In this respect, wastes are excluded from the scope of REACH whereas recovered substances are generally included. In addition, a differentiated regime is laid down for other related categories such as by-products, second raw materials and intermediates. This differentiation of the legal regime applicable to the various categories leads to different obligations for manufacturers, importers and downstream users according to the legal classification of a substance. However, reaching a correct legal classification is no easy task, primarily for two reasons. One is the complexity of some of the definitions contained in REACH, such as the definition of the concept of intermediate and the different categories into which it is subclassified (on-site isolated, transported isolated, and nonisolated) and the way in which it is distinguished from other similar realities. The other is the absence of definitions of certain substances for which REACH lays down a concrete legal regime, thus making it necessary to turn to the judgements rendered by the Court of Justice of the European Communities (hereafter CJEC) on what could be termed alike materials such as by-products or second raw materials. In line with the above, this article attempts to establish certain criteria enabling distinctions to be made between the different substances by drawing on the above legislation and caselaw.

PFAS vor staatlichen Gerichten
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (5/2024)
PFAS sind organische Verbindungen, bei denen die Wasserstoffatome vollständig („perfluoriert“) oder teilweise („polyfluoriert“) durch Fluoratome ersetzt sind. Diese Verbindungen werden seit langem von der Industrie hergestellt und gezielt eingesetzt, denn sie sind nicht nur wasser-, schmutz und fettabweisend, sondern als „Ewigkeitschemikalien“ auch besonders stabil und langlebig.

Informationsverpflichtungen nach Art. 33 der REACH-Verordnung
und mögliche zivilrechtliche Folgen
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (3/2011)
Mit der seit Mitte 2007 nach langjährigen Diskussionen und zähen Verhandlungen in Kraft getretenen REACHVerordnung (EG) Nr. 1907/2006 wurde eine grundlegende Neuregelung der bisherigen Stoffpolitik in Europa eingeleitet. Nach dem Prinzip „no data, no market“ dürfen innerhalb des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums nur noch chemische Stoffe in Verkehr gebracht werden, die vorher dort registriert worden sind.
