Expert Only Representative support to protect and expand your market.
EU & UK Only Representative
Simplify your REACH compliance across borders
What We Do
Trusted partners for comprehensive REACH coverage.
Companies based outside the relevant legal jurisdiction (e.g., outside the EEA for EU REACH or outside the UK for UK REACH) are required to appoint an Only Representative (OR) within the region to manage REACH compliance on their behalf.
With extensive experience across both EU and UK REACH, Penman Consulting simplifies the registration process and provides comprehensive REACH coverage across even the most complex supply chains.
We are proud to be an approved member of the Only Representative Organisation (ORO), promoting best practice and high standards across the OR community.
The Challenge
Overcoming the complexities of REACH compliance.
Navigating REACH compliance can be complex, particularly for companies aiming to access the EU or UK markets while managing multiple suppliers and customers.
A REACH registration is required for import, and ensuring adequate coverage throughout your supply chain is essential for market access. Our proven mechanisms allow you to extend coverage to your customers, supporting smoother trade and maintaining confidentiality along the supply chain.
The Solution
Expert solutions for registration, reporting, and compliance.
Comprehensive REACH & CLP Submissions
We prepare and submit all required regulatory filings, including Inquiries, Registrations, CLP Notifications, PPORD Notifications, and DUINs, ensuring full compliance with EU requirements.
Registration Lifecycle Management
Our team maintains and updates existing registrations in accordance with REACH Article 22, managing changes to volumes, uses, or classification to keep dossiers current.
Annual Tonnage Monitoring & Threshold Management
Through our proprietary Active Steward™ platform, we track annual tonnage levels to support proactive compliance planning and prevent unexpected regulatory obligations.
Supply Chain & Importer Compliance Support
We provide regulatory support across complex supply chains, including Only Representative (OR) coverage for both direct and indirect importers entering the EU market.
Product Formulation & Use Assessment
Our experts review product formulations and uses to identify compliance gaps and ensure alignment with registration and notification requirements.
Cost-Effective Registration Strategy Development
We develop practical, cost-efficient registration strategies that reduce unnecessary testing and data costs while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
The Result
Efficient Local Management of REACH Obligations
Appointing an experienced Only Representative ensures your REACH obligations are managed efficiently by a local expert. This delivers tangible benefits, including expanded market access through regional compliance coverage, reduced duplicate registrations across your supply chain, lower overall compliance costs, and minimised internal resource demands.
With offices in both Brussels and the UK, and extensive industry expertise since the implementation of REACH , we’re well positioned to help companies address their compliance needs. We offer a complete service built on a clear understanding of our clients’ portfolios and supply chains, including close engagement with authorities when required.
