Articles and SVHC Compliance Support for Australian Exporters
We help Australian manufacturers, brand owners and exporters prepare for EU requirements affecting articles. This includes identifying relevant Candidate List substances, organising product and supplier information, supporting communication duties and coordinating the data that EU importers, distributors and customers may require.
Articles and SVHC Compliance Support
The applicable requirements depend on the product, the substances and concentrations involved, the company’s role in the supply chain and how the article is placed on the EU market. We focus on the practical steps needed to assess the situation and prepare reliable compliance information.
Article status and scope
Support with determining whether a product, component or complex object is treated as an article under REACH and identifying the roles and requirements that may apply.
Candidate List and SVHC screening
Guidance on checking product and material information against the current Candidate List, identifying data gaps and organising supplier declarations and supporting documentation.
Article 33 communication
Support with recipient information, safe-use communication and consumer-response processes where a Candidate List substance is present above the relevant threshold and the communication duty applies.
REACH notification and SCIP support
Practical assistance with assessing whether REACH article notification or SCIP-related requirements may apply and preparing the information needed by the responsible EU actor.
How the Work Connects Across the Supply Chain
Article and SVHC compliance often requires coordination between manufacturers, exporters, EU importers, distributors and other suppliers. The legal responsibility and the information needed can differ depending on each company’s position in the supply chain.
Australian manufacturers and exporters
Manufacturers and exporters commonly need to collect composition data, obtain reliable supplier information, monitor Candidate List changes and provide EU partners with sufficient product and safe-use information.
EU producers and importers
EU producers and importers may need to assess whether Article 33 communication, REACH article notification or SCIP-related requirements apply, including the relevant conditions and available exemptions.
Suppliers, distributors and consumer requests
Suppliers may need to pass relevant information to recipients and maintain a process for answering consumer requests concerning Candidate List substances and safe use within the legally required timeframe.

Supply-chain communication
These resources focus on supplier responsibilities, consumer requests and the movement of information through the supply chain.
SVHC Compliance Depends on Reliable Information Flow
Article-related compliance is not only about identifying substances in a product. Companies also need reliable supplier data, traceable documentation, a process for monitoring Candidate List updates and a practical way to communicate relevant information to customers and other supply-chain partners.
For exporters outside the EU, early coordination with the EU importer or distributor helps clarify who is responsible for each communication, notification or submission and which information must be supplied before the product is placed on the market.
