Regulatory & Safety Information

1. Supplier identity

The website seller is Agualab Prime S.A., trading as Agualab UK, a Spanish Sociedad Anónima with tax and VAT identification ES A75825695, registered in the Registro Mercantil de Málaga under sheet MA-188420, entry 1. Registered and operating address: Calle Archidona 48, Polígono Industrial La Vega, 29651 Mijas, Málaga, Spain. Contact: info@agualab.co.uk; +34 952 478 613.

2. Product-specific compliance

No single registration or company statement establishes the legal status of every product. Before a product is supplied, its applicable duties are assessed by reference to its identity, composition, hazard classification, intended use, claims, packaging, customer and destination. Website availability is not a substitute for any authorisation, notification, registration, licence or professional competence required by law.

The current product label and, where required, safety data sheet or other supplied instructions take precedence over general website information. Contact us before purchase if the product is intended for a regulated, safety-critical or professional process.

3. Spanish records and their limits

Agualab records the Spanish establishment references 1352-AND-700 and 1352-AND-701. The product reference 24-20/40/90-12176 is a separate product reference and should not automatically be described as a R.O.E.S.B.A. establishment registration number. Where these references are material to a transaction, the customer may request documentary evidence of their scope and current status.

Spanish records do not automatically confer permission to place a product on the market in Great Britain or Northern Ireland. In particular, they are not by themselves a UK REACH registration, GB CLP decision, Great Britain biocidal product authorisation, UK cosmetic notification or medicines authorisation.

4. Spanish and European Union framework

Activities carried out in Spain are assessed under the legislation applicable to the product and role, including Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 on biocidal products, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products and Royal Decree 85/2018 on cosmetic products. Workplace chemical controls may also engage Law 31/1995 on occupational risk prevention and Royal Decree 374/2001 on chemical agents.

Compliance in Spain or the European Union does not automatically establish compliance at the UK destination. Agualab and each supply-chain participant must meet the duties attached to their actual role and market.

5. Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Great Britain comprises England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland can be subject to different product rules under the Windsor Framework and associated legislation. Product acceptance, labelling, notification, authorisation and responsible-person arrangements must therefore be confirmed for the actual destination. An assessment made for Great Britain must not be assumed to cover Northern Ireland, or vice versa.

6. Chemical classification, labelling and packaging

Chemical products supplied in Great Britain are assessed under the GB Classification, Labelling and Packaging regime where applicable. The responsible dutyholder must determine classification, communicate hazards and provide compliant packaging and labelling before placing a hazardous mixture or substance on the market. Applicable labels may include signal words, hazard and precautionary statements, pictograms, supplier details, nominal quantity and product identifiers.

Customers must not remove, obscure, translate informally or replace mandatory labels. A downstream user, formulator, repackager, relabeller, importer or distributor may acquire additional duties and should obtain competent advice before changing the supplied product or its presentation.

7. UK REACH

UK REACH duties depend on the substance, tonnage, supply chain and the role of each party. Because Agualab is established outside Great Britain, a GB importer may have importer obligations unless a valid Great Britain-based Only Representative or another lawful arrangement covers the relevant supply. Customers acting as importers or professional downstream users must not assume that an EU or Spanish registration alone satisfies UK REACH.

Product-specific confirmation should be requested before ordering where registration, tonnage coverage, restricted substances, authorisation, exposure scenarios or supply-chain status are material.

8. Biocidal products and claims

A product marketed or supplied with a biocidal purpose in Great Britain must meet the applicable Great Britain biocides regime, including product authorisation where required. A Spanish product record or website listing is not a substitute for Great Britain authorisation. No customer or reseller may add disinfectant, antimicrobial, pesticidal or other biocidal claims to a product unless that product, use and claim are lawfully supported for the destination.

Products sold for a non-biocidal technical use must not be repurposed or promoted as biocides without the necessary assessment and approval. Availability may be restricted while regulatory status or intended use is verified.

9. Cosmetic products

A cosmetic product made available to consumers in Great Britain requires a UK-established Responsible Person, a compliant safety assessment and Product Information File, notification through the UK cosmetic notification service, appropriate good manufacturing practice, compliant labelling and substantiated claims. Northern Ireland arrangements may differ.

The identity and address of the Responsible Person, nominal content, durability or period-after-opening information, precautions, batch identification, product function and ingredient list must appear as required for the product. A cosmetic product must not be presented as treating or preventing disease.

10. Safety data sheets and technical documents

A safety data sheet is provided where legally required and may also be made available for professional safety management. It describes hazards, composition information, first-aid measures, firefighting, accidental release, handling, storage, exposure controls, transport and disposal considerations. It does not replace workplace risk assessment, training or the product label.

Request the current version using the exact product name, concentration and, if available, batch number. Documents for a different concentration, formulation or market must not be treated as interchangeable.

11. Storage and handling

• Read the complete label and supplied instructions before opening or use.
• Keep products in their original, correctly labelled containers with closures secured.
• Observe the stated temperature, ventilation, light, segregation and shelf-life conditions.
• Keep products away from children, animals, food, drink and incompatible materials.
• Use the personal protective equipment and engineering controls specified for the task.
• Do not mix products unless the supplied instructions expressly permit it.
• Do not transfer a product into a food, drink or unlabelled container.

12. Transport and delivery

Some goods are regulated for road, sea or air transport and can be accepted only by an appropriate carrier, in approved packaging and in permitted quantities. Delivery options may therefore be limited by product and postcode. After delivery, a professional customer arranging onward transport is responsible for identifying and meeting any carrier, dangerous-goods, documentation and training duties that apply to its activity.

13. Professional users, resale and onward supply

A professional buyer is responsible for workplace risk assessment, staff competence, exposure control, safe storage, waste management and compliance arising from its own use. A reseller, importer, formulator, repackager or private-label operator must independently meet the duties attached to that role. Agualab's label, trade mark, technical documents or regulatory references may not be altered or reused in a misleading way.

These customer responsibilities do not transfer or reduce duties that the law places on Agualab as seller, manufacturer or other economic operator.

14. Disposal and environmental protection

Do not pour a product into drains, watercourses or soil unless the label and local law expressly permit it. Product residues, contaminated absorbents and packaging must be classified and disposed of through an appropriate route. Business customers should retain waste-transfer or hazardous-waste records where required.

15. Adverse events, incidents and emergencies

In an emergency, call the relevant emergency service and follow the label and safety data sheet. For suspected poisoning or significant exposure, seek immediate advice from the appropriate poison information or healthcare service. Once urgent action has been taken, notify Agualab at info@agualab.co.uk with the product, batch, circumstances and contact details. Do not delay emergency assistance while awaiting our reply.

Stop use and isolate the product safely if it appears damaged, contaminated, incorrectly labelled or subject to a safety notice. Follow any withdrawal or recall instructions supplied by Agualab or a competent authority.

16. Authenticity and alterations

Safety and traceability cannot be assured for counterfeit, diluted, decanted, relabelled, repackaged or improperly stored goods. Purchase through authorised channels, retain the invoice and batch details, and report suspected tampering. Agualab is not responsible for unauthorised alterations made after supply, except to the extent that law provides otherwise.

17. Requesting regulatory information

Send requests to info@agualab.co.uk and identify the exact product, concentration, pack size, intended use, customer type and destination. We may request additional information reasonably necessary to confirm whether supply is lawful. Commercially confidential formulation information will be disclosed only where the law requires it and through an appropriate channel.
