Article 139B Notification by Northern Irish supplier where Article 139A appliesF1

This Article applies in relation to a protected NI import of a substance.

A person established in Northern Ireland who manufactures a substance on its own, in mixtures or in articles, formulates a mixture or produces an article that is imported into Great Britain may fulfil the obligations on the GB importer under Article 139A (the “NI notifier”).

Article 36 applies to the NI notifier.

The NI notifier must, without prejudice to Article 36, keep available and up-to-date information on quantities imported and customers sold to, as well as information on the supply of the latest update of the safety data sheet referred to in Article 31.

A person who intends to act in accordance with paragraph 2 must inform the GB importer that they intend to do so.

If the GB importer is informed of the intention in accordance with paragraph 5, then paragraphs 6 to 8 of Article 139A apply to the NI notifier instead of the GB importer as respects any protected NI import from the NI notifier.
