谁可以指定唯一代表？

Who can appoint an only representative?

根据 REACH 法规第 8(1) 条，在欧盟境外生产物质、配制混合物或生产物品的自然人或法人，可以指定位于欧盟境内的唯一代表，负责其以物质本身、混合物和/或物品形式进口到欧盟的物质的注册。REACH 法规第 8(1) 条未提及分销商，因此分销商不能指定唯一代表。此处提及的欧盟涵盖欧盟国家以及加入欧洲经济区 (EEA) 协议的欧洲自由贸易联盟 (EFTA) 国家，即冰岛、列支敦士登和挪威。唯一代表必须履行进口商的注册义务（REACH 法规第二章），并遵守 REACH 法规规定的所有其他进口商义务。有关唯一代表角色及其对欧盟进口商的影响的更多信息，请参阅注册指南第 2.1.2.5 节“‘非欧盟制造商’的唯一代表”

According to Article 8(1) of REACH, a natural or legal person established outside of the EU who manufactures substances, formulates mixtures or produces articles, can nominate an only representative located within the EU to carry out the required registration of their substances that are imported as such, in mixtures and/or in articles into the EU. Distributors are not mentioned in Article 8(1) of REACH and thus cannot appoint an only representative.The reference to the EU covers both the EU countries and the EFTA countries that have adhered to the EEA (European Economic Area) Agreement, that is Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.The only representative will have to fulfil the registration obligations of importers (Title II of REACH) and comply with all other obligations of importers under the REACH Regulation. More information on the only representative role and the consequences for the EU importers is provided in the Guidance on registration, section 2.1.2.5- 'Only representative of a ‘non-EU manufacturer’'
