Genny, Good point. I just assumed that they would, but how would I know if I don't ask them? Hmmm.

You may not be their only company that uses this, and the total sales of the substance from all uses and all suppliers might actually need to be registered. If they decide they don't want to register it, you could still be in trouble. At least that is my impression. I feel like I have a very poor understanding of REACH. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bev Christian Sent: June 27, 2008 11:57 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] REACH Bill, I think this is important enough that I will answer you on-line. Perhaps we will both learn something from the other public answers. Perhaps my reading of REACH is wrong, but unless you are going to be importing into the EU a particular substance in excess of one metric ton you don't have any thing you have to do. TechNetters, Am I right or wrong? If I am, then RIM would have to import something like 40 million Blackberries into the EU before we would need to register the liquid crystal in the LCDs.
