Customers
REACH sets out a number of requirements for manufacturers or importers of substances to pass information down the supply chain to their customers.
In the long term downstream users of substances will have access to more information on the hazards of the substance they use.
Corus has been in contact with its customers to confirm its REACH compliance and has issued a statement along with a REACH compliance letter to customers describing the overall REACH project. Please see our dedicated downloads page to obtain the Corus REACH statements on a number of particular subjects.
To aid the REACH process we will approach our customers to gather information on the uses of our substances and also potential exposures while in use. Our customers are key to establishing the correct data needed to produce our registrations and, more specifically, the chemical safety assessment and report that are required for a number of substances.

Communication
We would ask our customers to direct communications on REACH to their normal commercial contact. We have trained all our commercial teams to be able to handle REACH enquiries professionally and, for day-to-day enquiries this will be the most efficient means of communication.
For the more technical enquiries you can contact the Corus REACH team by emailing: reach@corusgroup.com.
Corus also has an FAQ page specifically looking at questions relating to the steel industry; please use the FAQs to answer your queries. Specific questions focus on exemptions under REACH for the steel industry and the type of products that are covered under REACH.
Candidate List for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
ECHA asks member states to put forward substances to be placed on the candidate list of SVHC's. These substances will be evaluated and placed in Annex XIV (subject to Authorisation) of REACH. This link can be used to access the official candidate list from the ECHA website. The list is updated regularly by ECHA so it will always be current.
The Corus REACH Team have produced a statement on SVHC detailing information in relation to the presence of substances in the steel articles we sell of any SVHC. This statement is current and we encourage our customers to use this as confirmation with regard to the presence of SVHC in our products. The SVHC statement is available to download either above or from our dedicated downloads page.
Please be aware that the candidate list is updated at least twice a year and the Corus REACH team will monitor this list and where appropriate will update this statement to include future additions.
