RAPID RESPONSE SERVICE - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION NO. 4

https://www.chemnet.com   Nov 25,2008

　　ECHA has noted an inaccuracy in the News Alert of 20 November (ECHA/PR/08/47) in the answer to the question 4. The correct answer is below and the original News Alert on the ECHA website has been corrected.

　　4. Do I have to pre-register a substance previously notified in accordance withDirective 67/548/EEC by other manufacturers?

　　A notification under Directive 67/548/EC is nominal so that only the notifier benefits from being considered registered. Any other parties manufacturing or importing the substance but who have not notified it, do have (pre)registration obligations unless they may benefit from one of the exemptions in the REACH Regulation.

　　Previously notified substances are non-phase in substance under REACH. You do not need to pre-register them but you have to inquire and then submit a registration dossier as soon as the quantity of the substance manufactured or imported reaches 1 tonne per year.

　　For more information on notified substances we would like to refer you to section 6.3.6 of the Frequently Asked Questions on REACH: http://echa.europa.eu/reach/faq_en.asp
