However, certain types of ingots such as \u2018as cast\u2019 ingots, rolling ingots and ingots produced for extrusion processes, are classed as \u2018preparations\u2019 and would, therefore, need to be registered.<\/p><p>For the reasons stated, we can confirm that products supplied to you from our standard range are classified as \u2018articles\u2019 and, therefore, do not need to be registered under REACH.<\/p><p>A copy of the production diagrams for aluminium and stainless steel is available on request, to help clarify the definitions of \u2018substances\u2019, \u2018preparations\u2019 and \u2018articles.\u2019<\/p><p>Due diligence has been carried out on our current supplier base to establish that \u2018substances\u2019 and \u2018preparations\u2019 which require registration under REACH have been registered or confirm the absence of such chemicals.
