ECHA conducts survey of pre-registrants

03-17-2010: ECHA in collaboration with industry associations is running a survey on the number of dossier submissions to be expected before the first registration deadline on 30 November 2010. ECHA has sent an e-mail to all the companies that have indicated their intention to register at least one substance before the 2010 deadline.

The purpose of this survey is to help ECHA identify the substances of which industry can not confirm that a SIEF is in operation. Companies are being asked to provide information on registrations of such substances they still intend to make before the deadline. The survey covers approximately 8000 companies, 54 000 pre-registrations and 12 000 substances.

ECHA will use the information to improve the services it offers to registrants and to help plan its work in 2010. All data provided by companies will be confidential. The deadline for companies to provide information is 31 March 2010.
