ECHA offers pre-registration under REACH-IT
ERJ staff report (DS)
Helsinki, Finland -- The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has said its REACH-IT system is live since 1 June but will initially be used only for company sign-up and pre-registrations.
ECHA is an EU organisation which has responsibility for implementing the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals) legislation. ECHA has developed some software tools which can be used on-line by those who are affected by the REACH legislation.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has now published information specifying how companies can sign up to REACH-IT and how to submit preregistrations of single substance via the REACH-IT portal to the Agency. Practical guidance is available in the updated REACH-IT section of the ECHA website.
ECHA said, "The “REACH-IT†web section on the ECHA website has been upgraded to include practical advice on how a company can sign up, and how it can submit preregistrations via the REACH-IT portal. The information leaflet Release 2 covers all relevant REACH processes and data submission steps. The leaflet can be downloaded from the ECHA website in PDF format." (see below).
Sign up/Account creation: The identification of the companies (legal entity name, contact detail and billing information) must be done online via the REACH-IT portal. Each company must sign-up and create an account in REACH-IT to receive a Universal Unique Identifier code (company UUID). This code is a pre-requisite for data submission to ECHA to ensure that all data submissions can be linked to the right company identity code in ECHA. It applies to pre-registration and the temporary procedures for PPORD notification, inquiry and registration.
Pre-registration: Data for a pre-registration of a single substance can be entered and submitted online via the REACH-IT portal. A pre-registration of several substances in one file (bulk pre-registration) will be available at a later stage.
