REACH - Counting down towards the end of Pre-registration

Less than four weeks remain before the 1st December REACH pre-registration deadline for chemical substances manufactured or imported in Europe.

If you have obligations under REACH and miss the deadline, this could have major consequences for your business. If you are unsure about your obligations under REACH, contact the IOM for help using
reach@iom-world.org.

The IOM’s REACH webpage provides up-to-date links to the guidance available from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and HSE.

News from ECHA…

A new version of REACH-IT has been launched to improve the performance of online and bulk pre-registrations. With more than half-million pre-registrations already in the REACH-IT database, ECHA introduced this new version to improve processing speeds during the remaining weeks of the pre-registration period. The performance of pre-registration over the coming weeks will also be monitored by ECHA in order to guarantee that all companies intending to pre-register by the deadline of 1 December can do so.
