ECHA system now allows bulk pre-registrations for REACH

ERJ staff report (DS)

Helsiki, Finland -- The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has said a bulk pre-registration functionality is now available in the online system known as REACH-IT. Companies now can submit pre-registration files for substances listed in EINECS. Companies may take preparatory steps outside the REACH-IT system and submit the files in an XML format specified by ECHA. Full compliance with the specified format is essential for all submitted bulk files to ensure their correct processing in the REACH-IT system.

The new functionality was launched today and it will allow companies pre-registering substances to submit a file covering up to 500 substances listed in EINECS (substances not in EINECS must be registered under the REACH-IT online pre-registration system). The upper limit of 500 is to allow efficient processing of the submitted files in the REACH-IT system. It will also keep the files easy to manage for the companies submitting them, said ECHA
