This webinar focuses on identifying and sharing best practice on how to provide information on alternatives. The webinar will also inform how the consultations in applications for authorisation work in general. The webinar is based on lessons learned from over 50 consultations carried out so far. It also gives an opportunity for ECHA to get feedback to further develop the consultation process.
The webinar will consist of a presentation from ECHA followed by a panel discussion with Frida Hök from the International Chemical Secretariat (Chemsec), Hugo Waeterschoot from the European Association of the Metals Industry (Eurometaux), Jan Ahlskog from Finsbury International Policy & Regulatory Advisers (FIPRA) and Julius Waller from EPPA.

Germany has prepared a restriction proposal on Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) related substances. A 6 month consultation started on 25 March.
PFHxAs are very versatile and have been used in various sectors such as clothing, polymers and fire extinguishing agents. Their persistent and mobile properties make the control of emissions and exposure difficult, and they can cause adverse effects to our health and the environment.
This info session gives an update on the proposed restriction, clarifies its scope and how to prepare and submit comments in the consultation.

The Data Uploader can be used to convert chemical data into IUCLID format. It is especially useful for converting legacy toxicity data into harmonised templates that can be stored in a IUCLID database. It can be used for example by owners of chemical databases to share their data in an internationally recognised format.
It is developed as a KNIME Analytics Platform plug-in, using several workflow nodes:
- Connection to a IUCLID database
- Selection of relevant IUCLID documents and fields
- Mapping with an external data source
- Validation of the data against the IUCLID format
- Generation of IUCLID files (.i6z)
- Uploading to IUCLID
- Incremental update
In this webinar, we will help you get started with the Data Uploader and guide you through the different workflow steps.Watch the webinar

ECHA has investigated the environmental and health risks posed by using PFASs in firefighting foams at the request of the European Commission. The Agency concluded that an EU-wide restriction is justified as the risks posed by PFASs are currently not adequately controlled and releases should be minimised.
A six-month consultation starts on 23 March and will be open for anyone to give evidence-based comments on the restriction proposal.
This info session explains the restriction process and helps those interested to take part in the consultation.

This webinar is of interest for downstream users and downstream user sector organisations who want to optimise the communication of safe use information in the supply chain.
Participants will learn about the sector use map concept, its benefits, and its implementation.
Downstream users need to ensure they meet the conditions described in the exposure scenarios they receive. It is key that these exposure scenarios reflect the conditions of use in place, where those can be demonstrated to be safe. Exposure scenarios are generated by registrants. Therefore downstream users need to communicate to registrants how their substances are used. Sector use maps are an efficient way of communicating such information to registrants.
Sector use maps avoid the need for bilateral contacts between downstream users and registrants and ensure that downstream users receive realistic and harmonised exposure scenarios, making them easier to process.

Updated REACH Annexes for the nanoforms of substances begin to apply as of 1 January 2020. The updated Annexes introduce new concepts: nanoform and a set of similar nanoforms. The updated REACH Annex VI also defines specific characterisation parameters for the nanoforms of substances.
The first part of this webinar explains what a nanoform is and how to build a set of similar nanoforms. It also explains how to fulfil data requirements for the characterisation of nanoforms. The second part introduces new IUCLID fields for reporting the characterisation parameters of nanoforms and gives some practical examples on how to use the different fields. You will also have the chance to ask questions from our experts.

ECHA and Member State Competent Authorities are now in the fourth year of common screening. In late January every year, a number of substances are marked for manual screening by Member States. The selection is based on a set of algorithms to identify substances that may have hazardous properties and have the potential for exposure to humans or the environment.
This webinar explains the screening process, its timelines, and the criteria for short listing. It also explains how registrants can influence the manual screening process by updating their dossiers and how they can obtain more information on common screening.
The webinar also gives advice on how registrants should react to the informative letters sent by ECHA to all registrants of shortlisted substances.

ECHA and Member State Competent Authorities are now in the third year of common screening. In late January every year approximately 200-300 substances are earmarked for manual screening by Member State experts based on an extensive set of algorithms to identify substances that may pose risk to human health or the environment. The short listed substances are grouped in terms of both the suspected hazardous properties and also the REACH/CLP regulatory process that may be the optimal next step. ECHA has recently written to nearly 1 500 companies informing them that their registration dossiers may soon be manually examined by Member State experts to confirm the need for further regulatory action. This webinar will explain the screening process, its timelines, and the criteria for short listing. The webinar will also explain how registrants can influence the manual screening process by updating their dossiers and how they could obtain more information on common screening.
The questions and answers from the webinar are available here.

In January every year, a number of substances are marked for manual screening by Member States. The selection aims to identify substances that may have hazardous properties and the potential for exposure to us or the environment.
This webinar explains the screening process, its timelines, and the criteria for shortlisting. It also explains how registrants can influence the manual screening process by updating their dossiers and how they can get more information on common screening.
The webinar also gives advice on how registrants should react to informative letters sent by us to all registrants of shortlisted substances.

As of 1 January 2019, we will start checking the compliance of all relevant dossiers for a given substance and will address decisions to all registrants with non-compliant dossiers. This is a change from the current practice of addressing mainly lead registrants. Similarly, we will address our decisions on testing proposals to those registrants who plan to use a proposed test to fulfill their information requirement.
This information session presented the changes and gave participants the chance to ask questions.

The webinar provides an introduction to the OECD QSAR Toolbox and its functionalities. Two examples cover endpoints which will be relevant for the third REACH registration deadline in 2018 (e.g. skin sensitisation, aquatic toxicity). The Toolbox is the most comprehensive, widely recognised and freely available platform for data gap filling in regulatory hazard assessment, while avoiding tests. It is used for grouping chemicals into categories, identifying and filling (eco-)toxicological data gaps for the hazard assessment of chemicals. The Toolbox is also very useful for screening and prioritising inventories.
