UK REACH Transitional Registration Deadlines Legally Extended to 2029–2031
The transitional registration deadlines have been extended. They are now 27 October 2029, 27 October 2030 and 27 October 2031.
| New Deadline | Previous Deadline | Substance Scope |
|---|---|---|
| 27 October 2029 | 27 October 2026 | Substances manufactured or imported at 1,000 tonnes or more per year; CMR substances at 1 tonne or more per year; substances very toxic to aquatic organisms (acute or chronic) at 100 tonnes or more per year; and Candidate List SVHCs listed on or before 27 October 2027. |
| 27 October 2030 | 27 October 2028 | Substances manufactured or imported at 100 tonnes or more per year; and Candidate List SVHCs listed from 28 October 2027 to 27 October 2028. |
| 27 October 2031 | 27 October 2030 | All other substances manufactured or imported at 1 tonne or more per year. |
The transitional deadlines apply only to companies that secured their place in the transitional regime at the time of EU exit. Any new UK REACH registration must be submitted before you manufacture or import at one tonne a year or more.
In parallel, also the HSE compliance check timelines were realigned:
Article 41(5) requires HSE to conduct compliance checks on at least 20% of registration dossiers. To ensure these checks take place after the corresponding information has been submitted, the statutory completion dates have been moved to:
- 27 October 2030 for the first registration phase;
- 27 October 2032 for the second registration phase; and
- 27 October 2036 for the final registration phase.
