JMB Pre-registration status of products
We have set up this page so that you can check the pre-registration status of
the products we supply. Please note that you need to have Java installed and
have given permission for java applets to run in order to access this
information!
The table below has entries for all our main products, giving the following
information:
Product group
Product name
EINECS number(s)
CAS Registry number(s)
Pre-registration information : date of pre-registration and submission number.
We can, of course, advise the 20+ character full reference number on request.
Comments
The table can be sorted (in either A..Z or Z..A order) on any field by clicking
on the relevant column header. The abbreviation "**OR**" indicates that the
material is question has also been pre-registered by the non-EU manufacturer
using an EU-based "only representative" for REACH purposes. Materials labelled
"PREP" are preparations (ie mixtures) and do not have a single CAS or EINECS
number.

NOTES
1. All commercial "stearates" are manufactured using long-chain fatty acids of
natural origin - in JMB's case, exclusively from the oil-palm - and are
therefore mixtures. In our case, the stearate and palmitate are present in
approximately equal proportions and, under REACH, each component would have to
be pre-registered (and, later, registered) separately.
In the case of calcium and magnesium "stearates", these are now exempt from
REACH registration obligations as annexes IV and V of REACH were updated in
October 2008 and annex V now contains an entry excluding "fatty acids from C6
to C24 and their potassium, sodium, calcium and
magnesium salts".
Zinc "stearate" is not excluded in the annex V exclusion and we have therefore
normal registration obligations for it. We have pre-registered it under the
single EINECS entry "fatty acids, C16-18, zinc salts".

2. Although the normal CAS Registry number for ultramarine blue (57455-37-5) was
included in the original ECOIN core inventory - and should therefore have been
automatically included in EINECS, this does not appear to have happened.
It appears that, as far as EINECS is concerned, the correct CAS number for this
material is 101357-30-6, which corresponds to EINECS number 309-928-3 with the
description "silicic acid, aluminum sodium salt, sulphurised" which does appear
correct for ultramarine blue. This is the entry which we have used for
ultramarine blue
pre-registration.
3. There are two entries in EINECS for cadmium carbonate (with different
associated CAS Registry Numbers) - one for "cadmium carbonate" and another for
"carbonic acid, cadmium salt" - we have pre-registered both for safety's sake.
Eventual full registration will follow but only under one EINECS / CAS number.
