REACH to start 6-month moratorium ahead of 31May deadline
ERJ staff report (DS)
Helsinki, Finland -- ECHA has placed a six-month moratorium on Guidance and IT-tool updates starting on 1 December 2012 and ending on 31 May 2013. The move comes ahead of the 31 May deadline for industry to register all substances manufactured in or imported into the EU at amounts of 100 - 1000 tonnes a year.
With a new version of REACH-IT being installed later this week, ECHA will have fulfilled its commitment to stabilise the guidance, IT tools, manuals and Q&As for registrants preparing for the upcoming deadline. These instructions and tools can all be found on ECHA's website. Industry should not expect further changes unless these would be agreed by the Directors' Contact Group.
