In some markets, chemical submissions can only be made by companies based in those markets. If you are based outside the market, you need to set up a legal entity in the country or region to manage chemical registrations. The mechanism used is the OR registrant.
An OR is a natural person or legal entity, established physically within the country or region, appointed by a manufacturer, formulator or article producer, outside the country or region, to take on responsibility for complying with the legal requirements under the relevant chemical legislation.
