ECHA's new website Here in ECHA, we have reflected on how we work and what we can do better. Our new website is an example of that. It is much easier to use, simpler to search and more intuitive to navigate around. The website is also written in plainer English and we hope therefore, more informative, particularly for non-scientists. Also, most of the material is available in 22 languages. Welcome to echa.europa.eu. echa.europa.eu | Geert Dancet introduces ECHA's new corporate identity |

ON THE WEB Lead Registrant Workshop from 2 to 3 February 2012
The European Chemicals Agency has opened the registration to a workshop taking place in Helsinki from 2 to 3 February 2012 for lead registrants who are preparing for the 2013 registration deadline. The workshop is by invitation only for those lead registrants that have notified ECHA of their role using the lead registrant nomination web form. ECHA conducts a survey on the REACH 2013 registration intentions ECHA has launched a survey on the companies' intentions to register by the next REACH Registration deadline in 2013. The survey is targeted to all companies that have pre-registered a substance and indicated the intention to register by the 2013 deadline. The purpose of the survey is to gather information on the identity and number of substances intended to be registered and on the number of dossiers expected to be received. As a result of the survey, ECHA will publish a list of the substances intended to be registered by 31 May 2013. The first version of the list will be published in the first quarter of 2012, and downstream users, manufacturers and importers will have the opportunity to check whether registrations are being prepared for the substances that are important to them. |
