ECHA's Stakeholders' Day - specific support and guidance for SMEs and member registrants The Eighth Stakeholders' Day conference takes place in Helsinki on 26 March. It focuses specifically on SMEs, in particular member registrants, who are preparing for the 2013 REACH registration deadline. Guest speakers will present chemical safety assessment and Chesar for member registrants; practical tips for substance evaluation; how industry can cooperate in making an application for authorisation as well as a view from NGOs on their role in applications for authorisation. In addition to being able to book one-to-one discussion slots with ECHA staff about REACH & CLP related topics, as a new feature, participants will also be able to bring their laptop to receive hands-on advice regarding their registration. Further information and booking slots for this service are available when registering for the event.
The Stakeholders' Day is open to all but it is particularly relevant for those involved in REACH and CLP, industry associations, companies, public bodies, NGOs, third country representatives and the media. In this eighth event, special focus will be given to downstream users and 2013 registrants. The deadline for registering is Tuesday 5 March. Participation is free of charge. Coming up next week: Evaluation report 2012 On 27 February ECHA will publish the annual evaluation progress report, required by Art. 54 of REACH. The report is important reading for companies that have to register by the end of May 2013 and for those that have already registered. It includes recommendations on how to ensure quality information in the registration dossiers. Companies are also encouraged to read the recommendations from the previous evaluation reports, which can be found here.
