EU Reminds Industry To Register Chemicals

　 Europe Chemicals authority (ECHA) and Europe Chemistry Cefic recently reminded companies that the deadline for registration of REACH was November 30th. As of last Friday (September 10th), ECHA received about 4000 registered dossiers.

Antonio Tajani, vice chairman of the European Commission, said that although the external environment is not optimistic But the number of proposals received is increasing. However, the deadline for the first batch of REACH registration will not change. Enterprises that fail to complete the registration in time will no longer be able to export to Europe. It is reported that countries with large chemical enterprises, such as Germany, Britain, France, Belgium and Holland, are more active in the registration dossiers.

The relevant departments of ECHA registration and dossier submission indicated that the number of registered registries increased from 168 in June to 458 in July, and 846 in August. It is expected that 4500 to 5000 substances will be registered before November 30th.

The REACH-IT system can continue to accept the registration dossier after November 30th, but the enterprise that fails to catch the deadline must be accountable to the executing agency.

ECHA hopes that registrants will submit their registration before September 30th, so that there is more room for registration. In addition, it should be noted that the time limit for registration will not only directly affect the manufacturers of chemicals, but may also affect other chemical users, such as textile manufacturers.
