ECHA Weekly - 18 April 2018

To avoid some of the most common mistakes make sure that you indicate:

• the same substance identity in the IUCLID dossier as the one indicated in the joint submission;
• the correct inquiry number in section 1.3 of IUCLID, if you have submitted an inquiry;
• the correct reason for updating the dossier header and the correct last submission number, in case of an update.

Always remember to run the Validation assistant on your dossier before submitting it to avoid failing any other business rules.

Q&As on business rules | From submission to decision

Are you a downstream user? Check if your substance is being registered

If your supplier manufactures or imports a substance in amounts of more than one tonne per year, it is likely that it should be registered. Check if the substance you rely on for your operations in the EU has already been registered by checking the registered substance database. If your supplier has registered the chemical for your uses, you are covered.

If your chemical has not yet been registered, you can check in the lead registrant list if there is a company that is still planning to register it. We expect this list to grow in the coming weeks so keep an eye on it!

If no supplier intends to register your substance, consider importing it yourself and register.
