ECHA

1-2 October 2012 | ECHA, Helsinki 

This seminar aimed to improve the understanding of the authorisation application process, covering topics like the procedural steps, the content requirements for applications and the formats, manuals and tools for the application submission. The event focused on the needs of potential future applicants but was also open to other stakeholders.

The seminar had the following objectives:

• to make the authorisation application procedure under REACH known and understood
• to make potential applicants aware of the requirements on the contents of applications such as the chemical safety report, analysis of alternatives, substitution plan and the socio-economic analysis
• to help potential applicants generate adequate and timely applications for authorisation by introducing them to available guidance, formats, manuals and tools for applications

Over  50 industry and other experts took part in the seminar. ECHA is planning to hold similar events in 2013.
