Updated advice for manual verification – take note and submit a complete dossier
We have updated the "Information on manual verification" document with further advice for registrants (in EN, translations coming). This update concerns areas where we have discovered recurring issues in dossiers during the manual verification step in the completeness check:
- Substance identification: Clarifications on how to report the manufacturing process description necessary to identify UVCB substances.
- Data waivers: Clarifications on how to fulfil the information requirements for the extended one-generation reproductive toxicity studies (EOGRTS) and the pre-natal developmental toxicity studies (PNDT).
- Testing proposals: Advice for updating your dossier if you have received a decision from the European Commission about the amended information requirements of REACH Annexes IX and X, 8.7.3 on reproductive toxicity.
When preparing your dossier, also remember to use the IUCLID Validation Assistant both on the substance dataset and on the final dossier, to minimise the risk for failure. However, passing the checks of the Validation Assistant does not automatically mean that your dossier is complete. If issues are found in your dossier during this manual check, you will receive a letter from ECHA with instructions on how to make your dossier complete. It is important that you follow the advice in the letters and contact ECHA if you have any questions.

Two new Q&As on UK’s withdrawal from the EU
We have published two new questions and answers concerning REACH registration. One covers what a UK-based company should consider when appointing an only representative in an EU Member State. The second one clarifies whether a UK-based firm can set up a company on paper only in an EU Member State and transfer its registrations there.
