On April 29, the Baltic Retailer Info Day was organized. Aim of this event was to present a brief overview on duty to communicate information on substances in articles and to demonstrate practical tools for convenience of communication. Overall aim of the project is to address retailers in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to help them to fulfil their obligations on communication about substances of very high concern (SVHCs).
If a retailer is working in the European market, he is obliged under Article 33 of the REACH Regulation to provide information on substances in articles in his traded goods. Are retailers sufficiently aware of these information requirements?
