| ECHA released news on 23 November 2012, announced that EU Producers and importers of articles can submit notifications for substances in articles using an online web form available on the ECHA website. The new notification tool is easy and intuitive to use. To complete the web form, notifiers need to provide a REACH-IT account number, which can be obtained by signing up with REACH-IT.
Producers and importers have to notify to ECHA the substances listed on the Candidate list which are present in their articles, if both the following conditions are met: The substance is present in their relevant articles above a concentration of 0.1% weight by weight.The substance is present in these relevant articles in quantities totalling over one tonne per year. Companies have to notify no later than six months after the inclusion of the substance in the Candidate List. The 13 substances that were added to the Candidate List on 18 June 2012 thus have to be notified to ECHA by 18 December 2012.
There are two possibilities to submit your notification: via the webform or via REACH-IT.
This new method is recommended for all notifiers, especially those who are not familiar with IUCLID. A report submitted via the webform cannot be updated and searched in REACH-IT. If you need to update your notification you need to re-submit all your substance information. |
