Substance & Substance inPreparation

REACH Regulation Art. 6(1)

Manufacturer or importer of a substance, either on its own or in

preparation, in quantities ≥ 1 t/a shall submit a registration


Polymer manufacturer or importer shall submit a registrationregarding their monomer or any other substances, if both thefollowing conditions are met:

a) The polymer consists of 2% (w/w) or more of such monomer

substances or other substances in the form of monomeric units &chemically bound substances

b) The totally quantities of such monomer substances or othersubstances ≥ 1 t/a

15

Substance in Article


Any producer or importer of articles shall submit a REGISTRATIONto the Agency for any substance contained in those articles, if boththe following conditions are met:

21

Registration

Registration requires manufacturers & importers of chemicals to obtain

relevant information on their substances & to use that data to manage themsafely

What is required for Registration?

Technical dossier (≥ 1 t/a)

Chemical safety report (≥ 10 t/a)

Procedures

Given the registration number

Simple electronic completeness check will be performed by the Agency

If registration is not rejected within a set deadline

• Non-phase-in substance (i.e. introduce after 1 June 2007) registrant maybegin to manufacture or import the substance

• Phase-in substance may continue to manufacture or import the substance

22

Technical Dossier Information

In Database format (IUCLIDdatabase)

ID of manufacturer / importer

Substance ID (e.g. name, tradename, molecular formula & weight,structure, purity, spectral data)

Manufacture & use of substance

Classification & Labeling

Guidance on safe use (storage,

disposal, first aid measures)

Study Summaries (e.g. physico-chemical, toxicological & eco-toxicological properties) – tonnagedependent

23

Chemical Safety Report Information

Hazard Assessment

• Human Health, Physicochemical, Environmental

Persistent, Bio-accumulative and Toxic (PTB) & veryPersistent & very Bio-accumulative (vPvB) assessment

If studies from above found substance to be dangerous,PBT or vPvB, also need

• Exposure assessment, addressing identified uses

• Risk characterization, identify risk control measures

Exempted if they fall within certain restriction limitrequirements (e.g. Directive 1999/45/EC)

24

European Chemical Agency (ECHA)

Mission

Manage & coordinate the registration, evaluation,authorisation & restriction process under REACH toensure consistency in chemicals management acrossthe EU

Provide the Member States & the Institutions of theCommunity with scientific & technical advice onchemicals covered by the Regulation

Manage IT based guidance documents, tools &databases

Calculation of Registration Volume

A UK company imports two intentional dye release textileproducts A & B from different Pakistan manufacturers, with100g of dye X in each

• In product A, 80% dye are released under normal conditions• In product B, 10% dye are released under normal conditions

Question: Does the UK Company need to register substance Xif it imports 2,000,000 product A & 1,000,000 product B?

Assume articles

Product AWeight: 1.2kg

Product BWeight: 1kg

27

Calculation of Registration Volume (Cont’d)

Answer

• Whenever a substance is intended to be released from an article

– The TOTAL QUANTITY of substance X present in that article needs tobe counted

– NOT the quantity intended to be released

• The UK importer should make sure the dye X in the two textileproducts is same

• Total volume of dye X = 100g (2,000,000) + 100g (1,000,000) = 3tonnes

• Registration is in the 1 – 10 tonnage band

– Need Technical Dossier only

28

33

Pre-registration

To continually market phase-in substances before fullregistration

Purpose

• To facilitate data sharing

• To reduce testing on vertebrate animals

• To reduce costs to industry

For phase-in substances only, data gained by vertebrateanimal testing are to be shared, in exchange for payment

Information not involving tests on vertebrate animals (e.g. invitro studies & quantitative structure-activity relationship) must

be shared in the request of a potential registrant

Between 1 June 2008 & 30 Nov 2008 (6 months only)

34

Information Required for Pre-Registration

Information required by Art. 28(1)

• Registrant’s name

• Contact details

• Substance identity (name, CAS No. & EC No.)

• Envisaged registration deadline

• Tonnage band

Optional Data / information

• Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR)

• Substance grouping (e.g. DEHP belongs to the group Phthalate)

CAS = Chemical Abstract Services

35

Pre-Registered Substances

List available on European Chemical Agency website by 1 Jan2009. It gives

• Name of substance

• EINECS number

• CAS number

36

Substance Information Exchange Forum(SIEF)

Registrants who pre-registered same substance

• SIEF formed by pre-registrant themselves

• Dedicated website for same pre-registered substance granted

– To exchange information (e.g. animal & non-animal testing data)

• To agree to generate new test data required for registration – Vertebrate animal testing, if required, must be shared








38

Evaluation

Dossier Evaluation

Compliance check against requirements laid down forregistration in the Regulation. At least 5% of dossiers

should be checked

Checking of test proposals: the aim is to prevent

unnecessary animal testing

Substance Evaluation

The Agency in co-ordination with the CompetentAuthorities of Member States may clarify suspicions of

risks to human health or the environment by requestingfurther information from industry
