The regulation (EC) N° 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), does not apply to gelatine/collagen and their hydrolysates as they are natural polymers and/or chemically modified natural polymers.
Gelita says the amino acids are regarded as non-isolated intermediates and therefore do not have to be registered.
The criteria and explanation for the exemption of natural polymers are explained in the ECHA guidance on polymers, more precisely FAQ 6.3.10 and 6.3.11.
The exemption for registration of gelatine/collagen, their hydrolysates and their monomeric units has been confirmed as well by ECHA and the German REACH helpdesk.
