Keep your REACH registrations up to date: one-stop shop available for registrants
REACH registrations need to reflect the latest available safe use information and companies are responsible for providing this data. Both lead and member registrants need to keep the joint part of the registration up to date. We have now updated our web pages to help you with this task.
The web section ‘Keeping your dossier up to date’ illustrates in which situations you need to update your registration and how to determine the deadline. It also helps you to prepare for the update, gives instructions on how to update previously notified substances (NONS) and links to useful guidance documents and manuals.

New Q&As on assessing groups of chemicals
Check our new Q&As on assessing regulatory needs of substances. They cover what information will be available and where, what kind of assessment is done and what registrants can do.
If you missed our webinar on assessing groups, the recording and presentations are now available. The webinar explains how ECHA assesses the regulatory needs of groups of substances and how this approach helps to speed up the control of chemical risks.

European Commission adds endocrine disrupting properties to four phthalates on Authorisation List
The Authorisation List update introduces properties signalling negative effects to the hormonal system for:
-
bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) – for human health and the environment;
-
benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) – for human health;
-
dibutyl phthalate (DBP) – for human health; and
-
diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) – for human health.
The update follows ECHA’s recommendation from 2019. The four phthalates were originally added to the list in 2011 and 2012 as they are toxic to reproduction.
Following the Authorisation List amendments, some previously exempted uses will now require authorisation.
