ECHA launches a survey to improve its dissemination portal - your feedback is needed!

ECHA is currently investigating ways of restructuring the presentation of the information displayed in the dissemination portal - including the registered substances database and the classification and labelling inventory - in order to reach an even broader audience and at the same time implement a more targeted approach to the needs of all its user groups. The portal's user groups vary from EU Member States and European authorities to industry specialists and from environmental NGOs to workers and members of the general public. Your input is crucial for making ECHA aware of your specific needs and determining the way forward for improving the readability and user friendliness of dissemination of information online. The survey will be available until 21 December and will take around 20 minutes of your time. If you have any questions, or would like to know more about the purpose of the survey, please contact ECHA at: dissemination[at]echa.europa.eu.

ECHA satisfaction surveys response time prolonged

ECHA's annual satisfaction surveys were launched on 11 November. The time to respond has been prolonged until 30 November. A total of 5 771 registrants, stakeholders, members of ECHA bodies and networks, and others received a survey link directly to their mailboxes, with each respondent able to reply only once using their personal survey link. Each year, ECHA assesses some of its work programme performance indicators with a satisfaction survey. This year, registration, data-sharing and dissemination as well as evaluation activities are also assessed by a survey for the first time, in addition to other areas. These surveys provide ECHA with valuable feedback on its activities and complement the quantitative data based on other work programme indicators.
