It is based on Article 9 of the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC; in Germany, Section 16f of the Chemicals Act (ChemG) governs the notification. Suppliers of articles submit the information required by Article 33(1) of the REACH Regulation there, including the substance name, the concentration range and the instructions for safe use.
