If a TPR is appointed, 'the identity of a manufacturer or importer or downstream user who has appointed a representative shall not normally be disclosed by the Agency to other manufacturers, importers, or, where relevant, downstream users' (REACh, Article 4). However, the legal entity appointing a TPR still retains ' full responsibility for complying with his obligations under this Regulation' (REACh, Article 4). The TPR is not considered a potential registrant and therefore carries none of the legal responsibilities associated with that role. The TPR role is primarily associated with negotiation of data-sharing obligations which can be a time consuming and difficult process.
