All sorts of problems now come to light. It still unclear what an ‘article’ is (the whole imported Korean car, or every single nut and bolt). This issue will be surely addressed in the next revision of REACH. No doubt that it will become ‘every nut and bolt’, as recently proposed by the Nordic Council.

Another issue is old stock; spare parts for cars that have gone out of production and even spare parts coming from car wrecks are affected. The same sort of thing may go on in other industry sectors.
