EU REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) for DPOs
What does EU REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) require of a DPO?
The EU chemicals regulation that makes companies responsible for the substances they make, import and use: registration with the European Chemicals Agency before manufacture or import at one tonne or more, safety data sheets and other information down and up the supply chain, downstream user checks of exposure scenarios, information on substances of very high concern in articles, authorisation for substances on the authorisation list, and compliance with the restrictions in Annex XVII. Under EU REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006), which defines 38 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
