4. Know the obligations related to the use of a substance in the manufacture of an article
As a downstream user, you are identified as an article supplier. You may be concerned by two legal obligations if an SVHC substance is one of the constituents of your article:
an obligation to provide information;
and an obligation to notify Echa.
Be careful with your article definition, you need to determine whether it's :
a single item. In this case, both of the above obligations apply directly to the item;
a complex item. In this case, the two obligations above apply to each single item making up your complex item.
For this, you can draw on the guide to requirements for substances in articles (June 2017, version 4.0).
