Suppliers

In the long term downstream users of substances will have access to more information on the hazards of the substances they use.

Corus has been in contact with its suppliers to confirm their REACH compliance.  Our supplies teams have built up a large database of all REACH relevant substances supplied to us and have systematically confirmed REACH compliance with the respective suppliers.  Corus is also an importer of substances from outside the EU and our supplies teams have identified all imported substances and preparations in respect of which Corus is legally designated as the importer.  These substances have all been pre-registered where required by the relevant legal entities of Corus.

To aid the REACH process we will reply to our suppliers when requested to provide information both on the uses of specific substances and on potential exposures while in use.  We recognise that we have a requirement to respond with data when requested by our suppliers in order to ensure our uses are included as part of their registration.

Corus REACH Statements

Corus has issued a number of statements relevant for its suppliers.  These statements are available to download if you require a copy.  Please see our Corus Statements download page. 

The topics which are covered include:

• Corus Standard REACH statement (June 2008)

Communication

We ask that our suppliers direct any communications on REACH to their normal supplies team contact.  We have trained all our supplies teams to be able to handle REACH enquiries professionally and, for day-to-day enquiries this will be the most efficient way of communication.

For 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.
