The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) has reminded companies to ensure that they have pre-registered any relevant substances under the new the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) regime. In a statement, the BOHS noted that the pre-registration period for REACH began on 1 June 2008 and runs to 1 December 2008. For all non-exempt substances that are not pre-registered or fully registered by 1 December 2008, the suppliers and downstream customers are technically liable for penalties backdated to 1 June 2008.
