European Chemicals Agency

European Chemicals Agency ( ECHA )

The Agency, located in Helsinki, Finland will manage the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction processes for chemical substances to ensure consistency across the European Union. These REACH processes are designed to provide additional information on chemicals, to ensure their safe use, and to ensure competitiveness of the European industry.

In its decision-making the Agency will take the best available scientific and technical data and socio-economic information into account. It will also provide information on chemicals and technical and scientific advice. By assessing and approving testing proposals, the Agency will minimize animal testing.


Weekly update of Active Lead Registrants

The role of the Lead Registrant is laid down by the REACH Regulation and is mandatory for each SIEF.

Please note that as of 17 February 2010, ECHA will publish on a weekly basis the list of EC numbers, substance names and whether the Lead Registrant has been appointed or retains candidate status. In addition the earliest expected registration deadline that has been communicated to ECHA by LRs will also be published.

Lead Registrants and Candidate Lead Registrants who are active in their SIEFs are advised to inform ECHA of their nominations by using the link below: Lead Registrant Nomination

As the situation evolves within each SIEF, ECHA recommends that entries be regularly updated (e.g. confirmation of registration deadlines, update of SIEF membership numbers etc).
