在相关注册截止日期之前生产或进口的预注册物质是否可以在该截止日期之后未经注册投放市场？

May pre-registered substances that are manufactured or imported before the relevant registration deadline be placed on the market after this deadline without a registration?

REACH 仅对制造商或进口商（以及在特定情况下，物品生产商或进口商）规定注册义务。注册义务不适用于下游用户或分销商。因此，如果您符合以下情况，则注册义务不适用于您：在注册截止日期之前生产或进口预注册物质；并且完全停止此类活动，仅在注册截止日期之后使用和/或供应这些物质。例如，最迟于 2018 年 5 月 31 日进口最后一批物质的进口商，可以在截止日期之后继续使用和/或供应该物质，无需注册，且不受时间限制。由于预注册物质尚未注册，因此没有义务通知 ECHA 停止生产/进口。REACH 法规第 50(2) 和 (3) 条不适用于这种情况。如果您未在注册截止日期之前停止活动，则有义务根据 REACH 法规第 6 条注册该物质。如果您是下游用户（或供应链下游的任何其他参与者），且无需承担注册义务，则可以继续使用和/或供应在注册截止日期前生产或进口的相应物质，且不受时间限制。关于下游用户或分销商的义务，以及他们是否有义务检查相应物质本身或混合物的注册状态，请参阅问答155。

REACH imposes registration obligations only on manufacturers or importers (and, in specific cases, on producers or importers of articles). The registration obligation does not apply to downstream users or distributors. Therefore, the registration obligation does not apply to you if you have: manufactured or imported pre-registered substances before the registration deadline; and completely ceased such activities and only used the substances and/or supplied them after that. For example, importers for whom the last batch of the substance was imported on 31 May 2018, at the latest, may continue to use and/or supply that substance after the deadline without a registration, without time-limitation. Since the pre-registered substance has not been registered, there is no obligation to notify ECHA of the cessation of manufacture/import. Article 50(2) and (3) of the REACH Regulation does not apply to this situation. If you have not ceased your activities before the registration deadline, you have an obligation to register the substance according to Article 6 of REACH. If you are a downstream user (or any other actor down the supply chain) who is not subject to the registration obligation, you can continue to use, without time-limitation, and/or supply quantities of the substance that were manufactured or imported before the registration deadline. For the obligations of a downstream user or distributor and whether they are obliged to check the registration status of the substances on their own or in a mixture, please see Q&A 155
