REACH
United Company RUSAL has completed pre-registration under REACH regulations
for substances imported into the EU. UC RUSAL remains committed to
completing the registration process for the substances pre-registered and will
meet the deadlines set forth by REACH – between 2010 and 2018 depending on the
tonnage registered.
United Company Rusal Aluminium Limited, established in Nicosia, Cyprus, has
been appointed by UC RUSAL to act as ‘Only Representative’ and to pre-register
on behalf of all non-EU established entities of the Group. The European
entities Kubal, Eurallumina and Aughinish have pre-registered individually.
Pre-registration guarantees that all substances manufactured by UC RUSAL within
or outside the EU will still be available in future. All customers will be
considered as downstream users and therefore relieved of registration
obligations.

What is REACH?
REACH is the Regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and
Restriction of Chemicals. It entered into force on 1st June 2007 to streamline
and improve the former legislative framework on chemicals of the European Union
(EU).
REACH places greater responsibility on industry to manage the risks that
chemicals may pose to the health and the environment. All manufacturers and
importers of chemicals must identify and manage risks linked to the substances
they manufacture and market. For substances produced or imported in quantities
of 1 tonne or more per year per company, manufacturers and importers need to
demonstrate that they have appropriately done so by means of a registration
dossier, which shall be submitted to the Agency.
