Repeated supplier follow ups whenever during a change in SVHC list
Lack of IT tools to assess the compliance gaps
Any manufacturer/importer whose substances are manufactured or imported into the EU > 1 tonne per year or more
If you make chemicals within EU, either to use yourself or to supply to other people (even if it is for export)
If you buy anything from outside the EU/EEA. It may be individual chemicals, mixtures for onwards sale or finished products, like clothes, furniture or plastic goods.

Companies established outside the EU: If you are a company established outside the EU, you are not bound by the obligations of REACH.
