ECHA and the Member States evaluate the information submitted by companies to examine the quality of the registration dossiers and the testing proposals and to clarify if a given substance constitutes a risk to human health or the environment.

Evaluation under REACH focuses on three different areas:

• Examination of testing proposals submitted by registrants
• Compliance check of the dossiers submitted by registrants
• Substance evaluation

Once the evaluation is done, registrants may be required to submit further information on the substance.
