To better plan the Committees' workload, ECHA has established specific windows for submitting applications for authorisation. Uploading your application within these windows ensures the minimum processing time for your application by ECHA and its Committees.

The table below shows the substance names and their corresponding latest submission window (i.e. the last window before the latest application date). For certain substances, the latest application date does not fall into a submission window (for instance Pitch, coal tar, high-temp.: the latest application date is 04 April 2019 and its latest submission window is 7-21 February 2019).

You can benefit from the transitional arrangements of Art. 58(1)(c)(ii) of REACH if you submit your application to ECHA in the latest or in any of the earlier submission windows.

To ensure that the application is processed smoothly, ECHA recommends that you submit the application in one of the windows before the latest submission window. See Q&A 571 and 572 for more details.
