当欧盟分销商以自己的商标销售纳米形式的物质时，他们可以让供应商进行注册吗？

When EU distributors sell a substance as a nanoform under their own trademark, can they have the registration done by their supplier?

答案取决于物质供应商的所在地。注册义务适用于欧盟境内物质的制造商和进口商。如果该物质由制造商或进口商供应，且其位于欧盟境内，则该制造商或进口商必须注册其纳米形态。如果该物质的供应商位于欧盟境外，且该物质由欧盟“分销商”进口，则该分销商实际上符合 REACH 规定的进口商资格。在这种情况下，欧盟分销商必须注册该物质，包括其纳米形态。

The answer depends on the location of the supplier of the substance. The registration obligation applies to manufacturers and importers of substances in the EU. If the substance is supplied by the manufacturer or importer and they are established in the EU, that manufacturer or importer must register the nanoform. If the supplier of the substance is based outside of the EU and the substance is imported by the EU ‘distributor’, this distributor actually qualifies as an importer under REACH. In this case, the EU distributor must register the substance, including its nanoforms.
