1 April 2010 |
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) publishes Guidance for Annex V.
Annex V describes the exemption conditions from the obligation to register in accordance with Article 2(7)(b) of the REACH Regulation. REACH Article 2(7)(b) sets out general criteria for exempting substances covered by Annex V from the registration, downstream user and evaluation requirements. |
26 March 2010 |
ECHA publishes a new release of the Guidance on the Use Descriptor System (R12). The update introduces a descriptor element to cover the environment, better explains the practical use of the descriptor system and structures the relationship between the use descriptor system and Tier 1 exposure estimates for workers, consumers and the environment. These changes in guidance are not impacting manufacturers, importers and downstream users that have been using B-Lands use mapping template. In anticipation and with only a few months left before the first registration deadline on 1 Dec 2010, this template was not aligned with the previous official R12 guidance, but with the ongoing draft versions, resulting in no changes with regard to the new release. |
