Declarations, to the best of our knowledge
- Registration (Articles 5–6): all substances subject to registration are registered with ECHA (by ChemTech as importer, by the Only Representative of the non-EU manufacturer, or upstream in the EU supply chain) or exempt; for the mixtures formulated by ChemTech (PG, Aqua and DS Powder, OSC Grade and SC Grade, CoaTech products) ChemTech acts as a downstream user
- SVHC Candidate List (update of 4 February 2026, 253 entries): no substance present above 0.1% w/w — no Article 33 or Article 7(2) obligations
- Authorisation List, Annex XIV (version applicable on the issue date): none used or present — no authorisation required
- Restrictions, Annex XVII: conditions met. Entry 78 on synthetic polymer microparticles (Reg. (EU) 2023/2055 as amended by Reg. (EU) 2026/1168), assessed in three groups: inorganic products — pearlescent pigments incl. all 25 CTA grades in all supplied forms, aluminium, bronze and luminous pigments, mica flakes — fall outside the definition (CTA Series: Statement CT-REG-001 v2.1; anti-dusting treatment of OSC Grade and SC Grade: Statements CT-REG-031/030 v1.1 on request); polymer-based products — PET glitters, plastic beads, PU powders, resin-based fluorescent pigments, microencapsulated thermochromic and photochromic pigments, DecoTech decorative granulates — are placed on the market exclusively for use at industrial sites under paragraph 4(a), with the paragraph 7 information in the SDS; ChemTech does not manufacture these microparticles and, for the products it repacks in Riga, reports under paragraph 11 to ECHA from 2027; CoaTech optical brighteners and dyes are aqueous solutions without synthetic polymer microparticles, CoaTech barrier coatings are formulated from aqueous polymer dispersions and supplied for industrial use under paragraph 4(a); from 22 June 2028 the paragraph 5(c) derogation for the final product requires an intended end use of one year or longer
- SCIP: no notification obligation — products are substances and mixtures, not articles, and contain no Candidate List substance above 0.1% w/w
