Today is the first deadline for notifying substances in articles to ECHA
Under certain conditions producers and importers of articles have to notify ECHA of the presence of Candidate List substances (Substances of Very High Concern) in their articles. The notifications should be submitted not later than six months after the inclusion of such a substance in the Candidate List. For the 38 substances that were included in the Candidate List by 1 December 2010, the notifications have to be submitted by the end of today, i.e. 1 June 2011.
Another eight substances were added to the Candidate List on 15 December 2010. For these substances the notifications have to be submitted by 15 June 2011.
The necessary submission tools as well as a manual with instructions on how to create a notification dossier, fill in the necessary information and submit the dossier are available from the ECHA website.
A webinar providing practical information on how to prepare and submit substances in articles notifications was organised by ECHA 19 May. As a help for notifiers, a recording of this webinar is available on the ECHA website.
