•     supplying a safety data sheet

•     communicating on safe use

•     responding to consumer requests within 45 days and

•     notifying ECHA if the article they produce contains an SVHC in quantities above one tonne per producer/importer per year and if the substance is present in those articles above a concentration of 0.1% (w/w).
