The report of the REACH-EN-FORCE-7 (REF-7) project is now available.

This project is the latest in a series of three Forum enforcement projects focusing on registration duties after a registration deadline. Inspections for REF-7 targeted manufacturers, importers and only representatives with an obligation to register at least one chemical. The scope included all sectors of industry and all company sizes.

The results show that 6.5 % of inspected substances miss the required registration and that 15 % of almost 1 200 chemicals needing registration did not comply with at least one registration-related duty.
