As a responsible manufacturer and importer of chemicals in Europe, Jubilant is committed to meeting the legal obligations that arise due to REACH or any other regulation.

The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. The objective of this regulation is entirely consistent with the Jubilant’s corporate sustainability Report and EHS policy of “Complying with relevant standards on environment and Occupational health and safety”.


REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances.

REACH legislation became effective in EU member states on 1 June 2007. For substances covered by its registration requirements, deadlines for manufacturers and importers of these substances are as follows:

• 1 December 2010: Full registration of substances greater than 1,000 tonnes/annum/ legal entity and high-concern substances
• 1 June 2013: Full registration of substances greater than 100 tonnes/annum/legal entity
• 1 June 2018: Full registration of substances greater than 1 tonne/annum/legal entity

A Transported Isolated Intermediate(TII) is a substance manufactured for or used for chemical processing in order to be transformed into another substance. Many of our Products fall under this category.

CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) is the European Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of chemical substances and mixtures. The legislation introduces throughout the EU a new system for classifying and labelling chemicals, based on the United Nations’ Globally Harmonised System (UN GHS).


Jubilant has pre-registered all substances in its current portfolio for which it has responsibilities and obligations to do so under REACH. Having complied with pre-registration deadlines in 2008, we have now also completed registration of those substances that were required to be submitted by 1 December 2010. Complete compliance with REACH depends on the close co-operation of manufacturers, importers and their chemical suppliers and customers. As a manufacturer of chemicals, Jubilant will have those substances of its product portfolio registered as stipulated by the Customer and submit the dossier required for this to the European Chemicals Authority Agency (ECHA). For this purpose, it will cooperate closely with its customers and support them as far as possible.

With the vast amount of knowledge and expertise Jubilant has gained in the registration process, we are already looking ahead and working closely with our customers for the


Coordination of all REACH-related actions within Jubilant is guided by a corporate Steering Group. By having a dedicated REACH team, supported by global resources, including a database of REACH contacts and web information, the company is aiming to cater to all customer’s requirements.
