Change in rules will be introduced in the summer


The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is changing its rules to allow third party agents to make internet classification and labelling notifications for groups of chemical manufacturers and (or) importers. This will be allowed through changes to the REACH-IT electronic communications system.

Agents will have to also file documents showing that they have the authorisation for making the filings and that the companies they represent remain responsible for any actions or fees demanded by ECHA.

It said in a communiqué: ‘Third parties who are not themselves manufacturers or importers can .... take over the submission of group notifications.’ The changes in rules will be made this summer.
