REACH Compliance: Data availability in REACH registrations Part 2: Evaluation of data waiving and adaptations for chemicals ≥ 1000 tpa

The standard information requirements necessary for the registration and their adaptation options for high tonnage substances are specified in the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The report presents findings and results from the examination of 1814 dossiers of lead and individual registrants covering phase-in substances with a production volume of ≥ 1000 tpa. Within this project, the availability of data to fulfil these requirements was evaluated using screening (UBA-Texte 43/2015), formal and refined approaches. Also the sameness of substance identity amongst joint submissions was assessed. Based on the outcome of the project, recommendations were created to support registrants’ efforts to improve the quality of their registration dossiers.
