New Version of REACH-IT Improves Processing of Pre-registrations in ECHA

29 Oct 2008 - ECHA released a new version of REACH-IT, which has improved the performance of on-line and bulk pre-registrations. ECHA will continue to monitor the performance of pre-registration over the coming weeks in order to guarantee that all companies intending to pre-register by the deadline of 1 December can do so.
 
With more than half a million pre-registrations already in the REACH-IT database and the growing size of pre-SIEFs, in the last few weeks the processing of pre-registrations and the addition of potential registrants into pre-SIEFs had slowed down. At the same time, the number of bulk pre-registrations waiting to be processed had been growing continuously.
 
To speed up the processing of pre-registrations, in this new version of REACH-IT the e-mail message alerting existing pre-SIEF members of a new pre-registration has been discontinued for the remaining weeks of the pre-registration period. Pre-registrants can still see other members of their pre-SIEF by checking their pre-SIEF page in REACH-IT.
 
Should the new release not deliver sufficient performance improvements, ECHA will explore additional measures to ensure that companies can successfully pre-register until the deadline of 1 December.
