The new version of REACH-IT is now available. It includes new features such as the ‘parallel joint submission' that allows members of a joint submission to submit their dossiers as soon as the lead dossier has been accepted for processing. Additionally, this release introduces a new online functionality to allow companies to prepare their Classification and Labelling notifications directly in REACH-IT. After this update there will be no more new functionalities introduced before November and January deadlines.

Helsinki, 31 May 2010 - The main new feature in this REACH-IT release is the change in procedure when submitting dossiers that are part of a joint submission. To speed up the process it is now possible for the members of a joint submission to submit their dossiers as soon as the lead dossier has
been accepted for processing, i.e. when it passed the business rules. With this new feature members of a joint submission do not need to wait until the lead registrant has been informed that his dossier is complete and received the registration number before members can submit their dossiers.

With the new REACH-IT release preparing C&L notifications will also become easier with the help of the new on-line C&L notification functionality. The on-line tool allows companies to prepare their C&L notifications directly in REACH-IT and to search the inventory to see whether the same substance has already been notified by another company, or whether a Harmonised Classification already exists for this substance. If a match is found, the existing
classification and labelling entry can be reused by clicking the "I agree" button available in this functionality.

These new C&L notifications functionalities are available in REACH-IT from the "Classification and Labelling" menu:
- "Notify a C&L online"
- "View Submitted C&L"
