Substances on the list that will not be registered may unexpectedly disappear from the market.If your substance is on the list, you should contact your supplier if you are a downstream user or your SIEF members if you are a manufacturer or importer. Our chemicals helpdesk, your industry trade associations or ECHA may provide further support on deciding on the course of action.Registrants preparing dossiers for the substances on the new list are strongly encouraged to inform ECHA about the lead registrant, using the dedicated <a href="https://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/Countdown/5ugys6yxehs" target="_blank">webform</a>, or email <a href="mailto:lead-registrant@echa.europa.eu">lead-registrant@echa.europa.eu </a> about their intention to register or to explain why the substance no longer needs to be registered chemicals_seminar chemicals_seminar http://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/files/1/4571/92695/3632725/9fcccd5f9b7fdf4a293ee0d0/chemicals_seminar.jpg http://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/files/1/4571/92695/3632725/9fcccd5f9b7fdf4a293ee0d0/chemicals_seminar.jpg 7 steps to a successful member registration https://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/Countdown/14243mh48zl?rss=true By now the Lead Registrant for your substance should have registered their dossier.

This declaration is the basis for the invoice issued by ECHA.

If you declare wrongly, an administrative fee will be charged. So, get it right first time!</li></ul> <ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>Monitor your REACH-IT account. All ECHA communications will be sent to your REACH-IT message box - keep a close eye on it! A good practice is to configure your account to automatically send you an email. Make sure that your dossier has been accepted for processing and you have received a submission number and a submission date before the deadline hits. If the dossier cannot be accepted you will receive a message giving the reasons for it and instructions on how to modify it. You will also receive the related invoice in your REACH-IT message box. Make the necessary arrangements with your financial department to meet the deadlines for payment. We will then inform you on the completeness of the dossier and whether you need to provide any missing information before the registration can be granted.</li></ul>  REACH IT REACH IT http://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/files/1/4571/92695/3632725/9fbff51eaf18792531ad37ea/REACH%20IT_4.jpg http://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/files/1/4571/92695/3632725/9fbff51eaf18792531ad37ea/REACH%20IT_3.jpg Guidance on Registration and Data Sharing https://hsa.newsweaver.co.uk/Countdown/1a0nkc432j5?rss=true ECHA provide an extensive amount of guidance documents, practical guides and FAQs.
