Guidance on SVHC Documentation
From Article 36(1)12 of the REACH Regulation it follows that downstream us-ers (article producers are considered also as downstream users under REACH, if they use a substance or mixture in the production of their articles) have to keep available all the information they require to carry out their REACH obligations.
But even if it has been identified that no obligations under REACH apply, these companies should consider documenting the results of their compliance checking. This includes documenting the decision-making on whether certain products are articles, substances or mixtures as well as the checking if specific requirements apply for these. Documenting this is recommended to producers and importers of articles in general, as it facilitates demonstrating REACH compliance towards customers and (inspecting/enforcing) authorities.
*Note:TheboldedportionaboveisactuallyboldedintheGuidanceitselftoemphasizetheimportanceofDocumentation.
