Update to the list of substances potentially subject to compliance checks

ECHA has updated the list of substances that might be chosen for compliance checks with 72 new substances. Registrants are advised to check this list and if needed, update their related registration dossiers by 11 April 2016.

Since January 2015, ECHA has published a list of substances for which a compliance check would in all probability be conducted. This gives the registrants the possibility for early dossier updates before the compliance check starts. However, the list is indicative and non-exhaustive: ECHA reserves the right to open further compliance checks on any dossier at any time and without prior notice to the registrants.
