h) Changes of legal entity
Does a change of an Only Representative (OR) concerning an application for authorisation or a granted authorisation need to be notified to ECHA and how?
Yes.
Please proceed as follows:
- Create a new REACH-IT account for the new Only Representative.
- Log into the REACH-IT account of the original Only Representative and from the Menu select Manage company | Legal entity change | Initiate a legal entity change. Then follow the online instructions.
ECHA will verify the evidence of the change and inform you as soon as it has updated its databases. In case of a granted authorisation, ECHA will also forward your notification to the European Commission.
