Countdown to Registration Member Joint Submission

23rd September 2010

Overview

Introduction

Part I: Step-by-step approach to completing the member dossier and running plug-ins

Part II:Submission activities including joint submission, ECHA dossier checking and post-submission

Part III: Q & A and IUCLID demo

Recap on Registration

Responsibility for management of risks

with Manufacturer/Importer (M/I)

Registration requires M/I to:

Generate data on substances

Use data to assess risks

Develop risk management measures

Submit the Registration Dossier to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)

Information Exchange - SIEFs

Substance Information Exchange Forum

Formed by companies wishing to register the same substance

Facilitate data sharing and avoid duplication of studies

Agree Classification and Labelling

Share and collate information for registration

Leads to a single joint submission for each substance

No option to opt out but can decide how active to be

Roles in the SIEF – Lead Registrant

Appointed by consent of all members

ECHA must be informed of appointment

Acts with agreement of other registrants and submits the joint dossier

Most likely to submit their registration before the 30 Nov 2010 deadline

5

Roles in the SIEF – Member Registrant

Will register by deadline, but not the LR

Will submit own member dossier, after the joint submission

Request missing information from other SIEF members

Identify needs for further studies

Arrange to perform identified studies (where TP not required)

Agree on classification and labelling

SIEF Participation and Data Sharing

Joint submission dossier must contain:

Robust study summaries

Testing proposal (if required)

Classification and labelling

If information has been reviewed by assessor

Joint submission dossier may contain:

Guidance on safe use

Chemical safety report

SIEF Participation and Data Sharing

Member registrant must submit separately:

His identity

Identity of the substance

Information on manufacture and use(s)

Request as to which information should not be made publicly available

The lead registrant must submit the joint submission dossier first, followed by the dossiers of the other members

Opt-Out

Opt-out of JS under certain circumstances:

If disproportionately costly

If would lead to disclosure of confidential business information

If disagreement with LR on selection of information

Must be justified and documented

Higher fee (individual rather than joint)

Priority for compliance check by ECHA

Data Sharing and Joint Submission

One Substance

One SIEF

One Lead Registrant

One Joint Submission

IT Tools

IUCLID 5 IUCLID 5 is an IT application built to enter, store and report information on hazardous properties of chemicals

REACH ITOnline system used by industry for the secure submission of data and dossiers on chemicals to ECHA

Step-by-Step

Steps to complete the member dossier:1. Gather required information

2. Create the substance dataset

3. Create the dossier

4. Join the Joint submission

5. Submit the Dossier to ECHA

Gathering Data I

1. Identity of the registrant• Name, address, email, phone & fax

• Role in the supply chain (may be multiple)

• Pre-registration number

• LEO from REACH-IT must be synchronised with IUCLID

• SME status

Gathering Data II

2. Identity of the substance/composition • IUPAC name

• EC and/or CAS number

• Source and process (UVCB)

• Impurity and/or additive information

3. Manufacture and Uses• ‘Technological process’ for manufacturers only

• ‘Estimated quantities’ for all actors

• ‘Sites’ for manufacturer’s production sites only

Gathering Data III

• ‘Form in the supply chain’ must be completed (available as substance, substance in mixture, substance in article)

• At least one use must be filled in - your own use(s) and those intended by an actor in the supply chain or communicated to you

• Use Descriptors

4. Exposure information• Required for substances in the 1-10 T/Y band

• Substances ≥ 10 T/Y: exposure information is submitted in the CSR (own or joint)

Due to compatibility issues with other programmes, you must download IUCLID 5.2 available at http://iuclid.echa.europa.eu/

Not an online tool

http://iuclid.echa.europa.eu/

IUCLID Account Set-up

Create an account (internal administrator)

Import your legal entity object (LEO) from REACH-IT into IUCLID

Import the EC inventory and reference substance inventory (will download at step 7)

Create user accounts (administrator login does not support working in IUCLID)

Execute downloads and finish

Icons Explained

Legal Entity: Imported from REACH-IT LEO Legal Entity Site

Substance Dataset Reference Substance

Repeatable Block (hide; move block down; up; create; delete)

Golden Link: links information from local and downloaded inventories

Magic wand: allows you change information in automatically filled boxes

Mixture Dataset

Paper clip: allows you to attach files (word processing or pdf)

Confidentiality flag: fields that you can hide from public dissemination (cost)

Terminology Explained

Substance dataset: central core of information stored in IUCLID linking all entered data related to the substance

Reference substance: obtained from the inventory, links all known identifiers with the substance

Dossier: final information file, contains the substance dataset, legal entity, reference substance and dossier header

commence submissions

submission complete only when Lead dossier is complete

Business rule verification

Business rules Verification

Set of prerequisites that must be fulfilled before REACH IT can establish that the dossier can be handled

Checked in REACH IT

For example: Incorrect IUCLID format ( Must be 5.2), no valid identifier eg pre-registration, inquiry number etc

Once passed, Dossier progresses to processing


Majority automatic (Enforce rules) and results found in submission report

Other (Mandatory rules) checked by ECHA and failures communicated via PDF file under ‘Annotations section’

Examples: Top Ten

Run the TCC tool also for BR checking






Fees and invoicing

Post submission

Technical Completeness (ECHA)

Activity performed by ECHA on all dossiers

Same as TCC Tool Check

Check on all required elements of the dossier type and receipt of fees

Consequence: 2 failures = repayment of fee

Completeness Check (ECHA)

Within 3 weeks or 3 months (from 30th Sept 2010)

If dossier is incomplete or invoice not paid ECHA will communicate extended deadline

Failure to meet this deadline: a second deadline is set

Failure to meet second deadline, failure to pay and failure to submit missing information = 2nd Failure of TCC and second fee chargeable






Fees and invoicing

Post submission

Invoicing

An invoice is issued for a registrationIf the dossier is accepted for processing and

If a fee is required according to the Fee Regulation

Invoice is sent via the REACH IT internal messaging system

Main factors affecting the Fee amount ;Tonnage band

Dossier type

Company size

Confidentiality Claims

Joint versus individual submission

Invoice location

Arrangements with accounting department

Pay the invoice in time (currently max 44 days from date of opening the invoice; for 2010 dossiers submitted after 1 Oct, will become max 60 days)

One invoice, one payment

Fees & Invoicing

A new Fee calculator tool to be released in October
