Separate judgment is required

Polymers generally enjoy an exemption from registration under reach, but this does not mean that they are exempt from CLP classification, labeling and C&L notification.If the polymer is placed on the market as a substance and classified as hazardous, the notification obligation shall be judged according to the CLP.

Also pay attention to monomers

Monomers or other substances in polymers may also trigger reach registration obligations.Enterprises should distinguish between the CLP obligations of the polymer itself and the reach obligations of the monomer.
