IMPORTANT NOTICE

The attached document, whilst containing a host of relevant information, should
best be read conjunction with ECHA’s dedicated and extensive webpages helping
companies prepare for “REACH 2018” (https://echa.europa.eu/reach-2018 ) as
some advice it contains has been overcome by events. In particular, please note
that a Commission Implementing Regulation of 5 January 2017, (EU) 2016/9, has
since established more detailed rules on data and cost sharing (to be found under
“going deeper” here: https://echa.europa.eu/reach-2018/get-organised-with-
your-co-registrants ) and that ECHA’s IT-tools available to companies were
upgraded in 2016, such as through the release of IUCLID 6 and the IUCLID Cloud
(see here: https://echa.europa.eu/reach-2018/prepare-your-registration-as-a-
iuclid-dossier ) specifically for use by SMEs. The submission and management of
dossiers has also been made easier with a new version of REACH-IT. A quick way
to get to know the new REACH-IT is the short guide ‘discover REACH-IT’:

Finally, the completeness check process that is applied by ECHA to the registration
dossiers upon their submission has been enhanced and it now includes a manual
verification step. The use of the validation assistant in IUCLID is a must before
submission. All the details on how to prepare a complete registration dossier are
available in the manual: ‘how to prepare registration and PPORD dossiers’:

https://echa.europa.eu/manuals. Next to the manual there is a document with
information on the manual verification of completeness.

All the details on the changes in the registration process were explained to
industry in an information session held in 2016. All the materials are available
