                                         of 18 December 2006
                   concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and
        Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency,
      amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95
thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee1,
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions2,

Whereas:
(1)      This Regulation should ensure a high level of protection of human health and the
         environment as well as the free movement of substances, on their own, in preparations and
         in articles, while enhancing competitiveness and innovation. This Regulation should also
         promote the development of alternative methods for the assessment of hazards of
         substances.
(2)      The efficient functioning of the internal market for substances can be achieved only
         if requirements for substances do not differ significantly from Member State to
         Member State.
(3)      A high level of human health and environmental protection should be ensured in the
         approximation of legislation on substances, with the goal of achieving sustainable
         development. That legislation should be applied in a non-discriminatory manner whether
         substances are traded on the internal market or internationally in accordance with the
         Community's international commitments.
(4)      Pursuant to the implementation plan adopted on 4 September 2002 at the Johannesburg
         World Summit on sustainable development, the European Union is aiming to achieve that,
         by 2020, chemicals are produced and used in ways that lead to the minimisation of
         significant adverse effects on human health and the environment.

        Opinion of the European Parliament of 17 November 2005 (not yet published in the
        Official Journal), Council Common Position of 27 June 2006 (OJ C 276E, 14.11.2006, p. 1)
        and Position of the European Parliament of 13 December 2006 (not yet published in the
        Official Journal). Council Decision of 18 December 2006.

(5)      This Regulation should apply without prejudice to Community workplace and environment
         legislation.
(6)      This Regulation should contribute to fulfilment of the Strategic Approach to International
         Chemical Management (SAICM) adopted on 6 February 2006 in Dubai.
(7)      To preserve the integrity of the internal market and to ensure a high level of protection for
         human health, especially the health of workers, and the environment, it is necessary to
         ensure that manufacturing of substances in the Community complies with Community law,
         even if those substances are exported.
(8)       Special account should be taken of the potential impact of this Regulation on small- and
         medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the need to avoid any discrimination against them.

(9)      The assessment of the operation of the four main legal instruments governing chemicals in
         the Community, i.e. Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation
         of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification,
         packaging and labelling of dangerous substances1, Council Directive 76/769/EEC of
         27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions
         of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous
         substances and preparations2, Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the
         Council of 31 May 1999 concerning the approximation of the laws, regulations and
         administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and
         labelling of dangerous preparations3 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of
         23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances4, identified
         a number of problems in the functioning of Community legislation on chemicals, resulting
         in disparities between the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in Member States
         directly affecting the functioning of the internal market in this field, and the need to do
         more to protect public health and the environment in accordance with the precautionary
         principle.

(10)      Substances under customs supervision which are in temporary storage, in free zones or free
         warehouses with a view to re-exportation or in transit are not used within the meaning of
         this Regulation and should therefore be excluded from its scope. The carriage of dangerous
         substances and of dangerous preparations by rail, road, inland waterways, sea or air should
         also be excluded from its scope as specific legislation already applies to such carriage.
(11)     To ensure workability and to maintain the incentives for waste recycling and recovery,
         wastes should not be regarded as substances, preparations or articles within the meaning of
         this Regulation.
(12)     An important objective of the new system to be established by this Regulation is to
         encourage and in certain cases to ensure that substances of high concern are eventually
         replaced by less dangerous substances or technologies where suitable economically and
         technically viable alternatives are available. This Regulation does not affect the application
         of Directives on worker protection and the environment, especially Directive 2004/37/EC
         of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the protection of
         workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work
         (Sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Council
         Directive 89/391/EEC)1 and Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection
         of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work
         (fourteenth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of
         Directive 89/391/EEC)2 under which employers are required to eliminate dangerous
         substances, wherever technically possible, or to substitute dangerous substances with less
         dangerous substances.

(13)     This Regulation should apply without prejudice to the prohibitions and restrictions laid
         down in Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws
         of the Member States relating to cosmetic products1 in so far as substances are used and
         marketed as cosmetic ingredients and are within the scope of this Regulation. A phase-out
         of testing on vertebrate animals for the purpose of protecting human health as specified in
         Directive 76/768/EEC should take place with regard to the uses of those substances in
         cosmetics.
(14)     This Regulation will generate information on substances and their uses. Available
         information, including that generated by this Regulation, should be used by the relevant
         actors in the application and implementation of appropriate Community legislation, for
         example that covering products, and Community voluntary instruments, such as the
         eco-labelling scheme. The Commission should consider in the review and development of
         relevant Community legislation and voluntary instruments how information generated by
         this Regulation should be used, and examine possibilities for establishing a European
         quality mark.
1
        OJ L 262, 27.9.1976, p. 169. Directive as last amended by Commission
        Directive 2005/80/EC (OJ L 303, 22.11.2005, p. 32).
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                         L 396/7
(15)      There is a need to ensure effective management of the technical, scientific and
         administrative aspects of this Regulation at Community level. A central entity should
         therefore be created to fulfil this role. A feasibility study on the resource requirements for
         this central entity concluded that an independent central entity offered a number of
         long-term advantages over other options. A European Chemicals Agency (hereinafter
         referred to as "the Agency") should therefore be established.
(16)      This Regulation lays down specific duties and obligations on manufacturers, importers and
         downstream users of substances on their own, in preparations and in articles. This
         Regulation is based on the principle that industry should manufacture, import or use
         substances or place them on the market with such responsibility and care as may be
         required to ensure that, under reasonably foreseeable conditions, human health and the
         environment are not adversely affected.
(17)      All available and relevant information on substances on their own, in preparations and in
         articles should be collected to assist in identifying hazardous properties, and
         recommendations about risk management measures should systematically be conveyed
         through supply chains, as reasonably necessary, to prevent adverse effects on human health
         and the environment. In addition, communication of technical advice to support risk
         management should be encouraged in the supply chain, where appropriate.
(18)      Responsibility for the management of the risks of substances should lie with the natural or
         legal persons that manufacture, import, place on the market or use these substances.
         Information on the implementation of this Regulation should be easily accessible, in
         particular for SMEs.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/8          EN               Official Journal of the European Union                      30.12.2006
(19)    Therefore, the registration provisions should require manufacturers and importers to
        generate data on the substances they manufacture or import, to use these data to assess the
        risks related to these substances and to develop and recommend appropriate risk
        management measures. To ensure that they actually meet these obligations, as well as for
        transparency reasons, registration should require them to submit a dossier containing all
        this information to the Agency. Registered substances should be allowed to circulate on the
        internal market.
(20)    The evaluation provisions should provide for follow-up to registration, by allowing for
        checks on whether registrations are in compliance with the requirements of this Regulation
        and if necessary by allowing for generation of more information on the properties of
        substances. If the Agency in cooperation with the Member States considers that there are
        grounds for considering that a substance constitutes a risk to human health or the
        environment, the Agency should, after having included the substance in the Community
        rolling action plan for substance evaluation, relying on the competent authorities of
        Member States, ensure that this substance is evaluated.
(21)    Although the information yielded on substances through evaluation should be used in the
        first place by manufacturers and importers to manage the risks related to their substances,
        it may also be used to initiate the authorisation or restrictions procedures under this
        Regulation or risk management procedures under other Community legislation. Therefore
        it should be ensured that this information is available to the competent authorities and may
        be used by them for the purpose of such procedures.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                       L 396/9
(22)     The authorisation provisions should ensure the good functioning of the internal market
         while assuring that the risks from substances of very high concern are properly controlled.
         Authorisations for the placing on the market and use should be granted by the Commission
         only if the risks arising from their use are adequately controlled, where this is possible, or
         the use can be justified for socio-economic reasons and no suitable alternatives are
         available, which are economically and technically viable.
(23)      The restriction provisions should allow the manufacturing, placing on the market and use
         of substances presenting risks that need to be addressed, to be made subject to total or
         partial bans or other restrictions, based on an assessment of those risks.
(24)      In preparation for this Regulation, the Commission has launched REACH Implementation
         Projects (RIPs), involving relevant experts from stakeholder groups. Some of those
         projects aim at developing draft guidelines and tools which should help the Commission,
         the Agency, Member States, manufacturers, importers and downstream users of substances
         to fulfil, in concrete terms, their obligations under this Regulation. This work should
         enable the Commission and the Agency to make available appropriate technical guidance,
         in due time, with regard to the deadlines introduced by this Regulation.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/10          EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
(25)     The responsibility to assess the risks and hazards of substances should be given, in the
         first place, to the natural or legal persons that manufacture or import substances, but only
         when they do so in quantities exceeding a certain volume, to enable them to carry the
         associated burden. Natural or legal persons handling chemicals should take the necessary
         risk management measures in accordance with the assessment of the risks of substances
         and pass on relevant recommendations along the supply chain. This should include
         describing, documenting and notifying in an appropriate and transparent fashion the risks
         stemming from the production, use and disposal of each substance.
(26)     In order to undertake chemical safety assessments of substances effectively, manufacturers
         and importers of substances should obtain information on these substances, if necessary by
         performing new tests.
(27)     For purposes of enforcement and evaluation and for reasons of transparency, the
         information on these substances, as well as related information, including on risk
         management measures, should normally be submitted to authorities.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                        L 396/11
(28)      Scientific research and development normally takes place in quantities below 1 tonne
         per year. There is no need to exempt such research and development because substances in
         those quantities do not have to be registered in any case. However, in order to encourage
         innovation, product and process oriented research and development should be exempted
         from the obligation to register for a certain time period where a substance is not yet
         intended to be placed on the market to an indefinite number of customers because its
         application in preparations or articles still requires further research and development
         performed by the potential registrant himself or in cooperation with a limited number of
         known customers. In addition, it is appropriate to provide for a similar exemption to
         downstream users using the substance for the purposes of product and process oriented
         research and development, provided that the risks to human health and the environment are
         adequately controlled in accordance with the requirements of legislation for the protection
         of workers and the environment.
(29)      Since producers and importers of articles should be responsible for their articles, it is
         appropriate to impose a registration requirement on substances which are intended to be
         released from articles and have not been registered for that use. In the case of substances of
         very high concern which are present in articles above tonnage and concentration
         thresholds, where exposure to the substance cannot be excluded and where the substance
         has not been registered by any person for this use, the Agency should be notified. The
         Agency should also be empowered to request that a registration be submitted if it has
         grounds for suspecting that the release of a substance from the article may present a risk to
         human health or the environment and the substance is present in those articles in quantities
         totalling over 1 tonne per producer or importer per year. The Agency should consider the
         need for a proposal for a restriction where it considers that the use of such substances in
         articles poses a risk to human health or the environment that is not adequately controlled.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/12          EN               Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
(30)     The requirements for undertaking chemical safety assessments by manufacturers and
         importers should be defined in detail in a technical annex to allow them to meet their
         obligations. To achieve fair burden sharing with their customers, manufacturers and
         importers should in their chemical safety assessment address not only their own uses and
         the uses for which they place their substances on the market, but also all uses which their
         customers ask them to address.
(31)     The Commission, in close cooperation with industry, Member States and other relevant
         stakeholders, should develop guidance to fulfil the requirements under this Regulation
         related to preparations (in particular with regard to safety data sheets incorporating
         exposure scenarios) including assessment of substances incorporated into special
         preparations – such as metals incorporated in alloys. In doing so, the Commission should
         take full account of the work that will have been carried out within the framework of the
         RIPs and should include the necessary guidance on this matter in the overall REACH
         guidance package. This guidance should be available before the application of this
         Regulation.
(32)     A chemical safety assessment should not need to be performed for substances in
         preparations in certain very small concentrations which are considered as not giving rise to
         concern. Substances in preparations in such low concentrations should also be exempt
         from authorisation. These provisions should apply equally to preparations that are solid
         mixtures of substances until a specific shape is given to such a preparation that transforms
         it into an article.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006         EN               Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/13
(33)      Joint submission and the sharing of information on substances should be provided for in
         order to increase the efficiency of the registration system, to reduce costs and to reduce
         testing on vertebrate animals. One of a group of multiple registrants should submit
         information on behalf of the others according to rules which ensure that all the required
         information is submitted, while allowing sharing of the costs burden. A registrant should
         be able to submit information directly to the Agency in certain specified cases.
(34)     Requirements for generation of information on substances should be tiered according to the
         volumes of manufacture or importation of a substance, because these provide an indication
         of the potential for exposure of man and the environment to the substances, and should be
         described in detail. To reduce the possible impact on low volume substances, new
         toxicological and ecotoxicological information should only be required for priority
         substances between 1 and 10 tonnes. For other substances in that quantity range there
         should be incentives to encourage manufacturers and importers to provide this information.
(35)      The Member States, the Agency and all interested parties should take full account of the
         results of the RIPs, in particular with regard to the registration of substances which occur
         in nature.
(36)      It is necessary to consider the application of Article 2(7)(a) and (b) and Annex XI to
         substances derived from mineralogical processes and the review of Annexes IV and V
         should fully take this into account.

(37)     If tests are performed, they should comply with the relevant requirements of protection of
         laboratory animals, set out in Council Directive 86/609/EEC of 24 November 1986 on the
         approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States
         regarding the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes1,
         and, in the case of ecotoxicological and toxicological tests, good laboratory practice,
         set out in Directive 2004/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
         11 February 2004 on the harmonisation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions
         relating to the application of the principles of good laboratory practice and the verification
         of their application for tests on chemical substances2.
(38)     The generation of information by alternative means offering equivalence to prescribed tests
         and test methods should also be allowed, for example when this information comes from
         valid qualitative or quantitative structure activity models or from structurally related
         substances. To this end the Agency, in cooperation with Member States and interested
         parties, should develop appropriate guidance. It should also be possible not to submit
         certain information if appropriate justification can be provided. Based on experience
         gained through RIPs, criteria should be developed defining what constitutes such
         justification.
(39)     In order to help companies, and in particular SMEs, to comply with the requirements of
         this Regulation, Member States, in addition to the operational guidance documents
         provided by the Agency, should establish national helpdesks.

(40)     The Commission, Member States, industry and other stakeholders should continue to
         contribute to the promotion of alternative test methods on an international and national
         level including computer supported methodologies, in vitro methodologies, such as
         appropriate, those based on toxicogenomics, and other relevant methodologies. The
         Community's strategy to promote alternative test methods is a priority and the Commission
         should ensure that within its future Research Framework Programmes and initiatives such
         as the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010 this
         remains a priority topic. Participation of stakeholders and initiatives involving all
         interested parties should be sought.
(41)      For reasons of workability and because of their special nature, specific registration
         requirements should be laid down for intermediates. Polymers should be exempted from
         registration and evaluation until those that need to be registered due to the risks posed to
         human health or the environment can be selected in a practicable and cost-efficient way on
         the basis of sound technical and valid scientific criteria.
(42)     To avoid overloading authorities and natural or legal persons with the work arising from
         the registration of phase-in substances already on the internal market, that registration
         should be spread over an appropriate period of time, without introducing undue delay.
         Deadlines for the registration of these substances should therefore be set.
(43)      Data for substances already notified in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC should be
         eased into the system and should be upgraded when the next tonnage quantity threshold is
         reached.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/16         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
(44)     In order to provide a harmonised, simple system, all registrations should be submitted to
         the Agency. To ensure a consistent approach and efficient use of resources, it should
         perform a completeness check on all registrations and take responsibility for any final
         rejections of registrations.
(45)     The European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) included
         certain complex substances in a single entry. UVCB substances (substances of unknown or
         variable composition, complex reaction products or biological materials) may be registered
         as a single substance under this Regulation, despite their variable composition, provided
         that the hazardous properties do not differ significantly and warrant the same classification.
(46)     To ensure that the information gathered through the registration is kept up-to-date, an
         obligation on registrants to inform the Agency of certain changes to the information should
         be introduced.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006         EN               Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/17
(47)      In accordance with Directive 86/609/EEC, it is necessary to replace, reduce or refine
          testing on vertebrate animals. Implementation of this Regulation should be based on the
          use of alternative test methods, suitable for the assessment of health and environmental
          hazards of chemicals, wherever possible. The use of animals should be avoided by
          recourse to alternative methods validated by the Commission or international bodies, or
          recognised by the Commission or the Agency as appropriate to meet the information
          requirements under this Regulation. To this end, the Commission, following consultation
          with relevant stakeholders, should propose to amend the future Commission Regulation on
          test methods or this Regulation, where appropriate, to replace, reduce or refine animal
          testing. The Commission and the Agency should ensure that reduction of animal testing is
          a key consideration in the development and maintenance of guidance for stakeholders and
          in the Agency's own procedures.
(48)      This Regulation should be without prejudice to the full and complete application of the
          Community competition rules.
(49)      In order to avoid duplication of work, and in particular to reduce testing involving
          vertebrate animals, the provisions concerning preparation and submission of registrations
          and updates should require sharing of information where this is requested by any registrant.
          If the information concerns vertebrate animals, the registrant should be obliged to request
          it.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/18           EN                Official Journal of the European Union                       30.12.2006
(50)     It is in the public interest to ensure the quickest possible circulation of test results on
         human health or environmental hazards of certain substances to those natural or legal
         persons which use them, in order to limit any risks associated with their use. Sharing of
         information should occur where this is requested by any registrant, in particular in the case
         of information involving tests on vertebrate animals, under conditions that ensure a fair
         compensation for the company that has undertaken the tests.
(51)     In order to strengthen the competitiveness of Community industry and to ensure that this
         Regulation is applied as efficiently as possible, it is appropriate to make provision for the
         sharing of data between registrants on the basis of fair compensation.
(52)     In order to respect the legitimate property rights of those generating testing data, the owner
         of such data should, for a period of 12 years, be able to claim compensation from those
         registrants who benefit from that data.
(53)     In order to allow a potential registrant of a phase-in substance to proceed with his
         registration, even if he cannot reach agreement with a previous registrant, the Agency, on
         request, should allow use of any summary or robust study summary of tests already
         submitted. The registrant who receives these data should be obliged to pay a contribution
         to the costs to the owner of the data. For non-phase-in substances, the Agency may ask for
         evidence that a potential registrant has paid the owner of a study before the Agency gives
         permission for the potential registrant to use that information in his registration.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                       L 396/19
(54)      In order to avoid duplication of work, and in particular to avoid duplication of testing,
         registrants of phase-in substances should pre-register as early as possible with a database
         managed by the Agency. A system should be established in order to provide for the
         establishment of Substance Information Exchange Fora (SIEF) to help exchange of
         information on the substances that have been registered. SIEF participants should include
         all relevant actors submitting information to the Agency on the same phase-in substance.
         They should include both potential registrants, who must provide and be supplied with any
         information relevant to the registration of their substances, and other participants, who may
         receive financial compensation for studies they hold but are not entitled to request
         information. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of that system they should fulfil
         certain obligations. If a member of a SIEF does not fulfil his obligations, he should be
         penalised accordingly but other members should be enabled to continue preparing their
         own registration. In cases where a substance has not been pre-registered, measures should
         be taken to help downstream users find alternative sources of supply.
(55)      Manufacturers and importers of a substance on its own or in a preparation should be
         encouraged to communicate with the downstream users of the substance with regard to
         whether they intend to register the substance. Such information should be provided to a
         downstream user sufficiently in advance of the relevant registration deadline if the
         manufacturer or importer does not intend to register the substance, in order to enable the
         downstream user to look for alternative sources of supply.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/20         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
(56)     Part of the responsibility of manufacturers or importers for the management of the risks of
         substances is the communication of information on these substances to other professionals
         such as downstream users or distributors. In addition, producers or importers of articles
         should supply information on the safe use of articles to industrial and professional users,
         and consumers on request. This important responsibility should also apply throughout the
         supply chain to enable all actors to meet their responsibility in relation to management of
         risks arising from the use of substances.
(57)     As the existing safety data sheet is already being used as a communication tool within the
         supply chain of substances and preparations, it is appropriate to develop it further and
         make it an integral part of the system established by this Regulation.
(58)     In order to have a chain of responsibilities, downstream users should be responsible for
         assessing the risks arising from their uses of substances if those uses are not covered by a
         safety data sheet received from their suppliers, unless the downstream user concerned takes
         more protective measures than those recommended by his supplier or unless his supplier
         was not required to assess those risks or provide him with information on those risks. For
         the same reason, downstream users should manage the risks arising from their uses of
         substances. In addition, it is appropriate that any producer or importer of an article
         containing a substance of very high concern should provide sufficient information to allow
         safe use of such an article.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                       L 396/21
(59)      The requirements for undertaking chemical safety assessments by downstream users
         should also be prescribed in detail to allow them to meet their obligations. These
         requirements should only apply above a total quantity of 1 tonne of substance or
         preparation. In any case, however, the downstream users should consider the use and
         identify and apply appropriate risk management measures. Downstream users should
         report certain basic information on use to the Agency.
(60)      For enforcement and evaluation purposes, downstream users of substances should be
         required to report to the Agency certain basic information if their use is outside the
         conditions of the exposure scenario detailed in the safety data sheet communicated by their
         original manufacturer or importer and to keep such reported information up-to-date.
(61)     For reasons of workability and proportionality, it is appropriate to exempt downstream
         users using low quantities of a substance from such reporting.
(62)      Communication up and down the supply chain should be facilitated. The Commission
         should develop a system categorising brief general descriptions of uses taking into account
         the outcomes of the RIPs.
(63)     It is also necessary to ensure that generation of information is tailored to real information
         needs. To this end evaluation should require the Agency to decide on the programmes of
         testing proposed by manufacturers and importers. In cooperation with Member States, the
         Agency should give priority to certain substances, for instance those which may be of very
         high concern.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/22         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                       30.12.2006
(64)     In order to prevent unnecessary animal testing, interested parties should have a period of
         45 days during which they may provide scientifically valid information and studies that
         address the relevant substance and hazard end-point, which is addressed by the testing
         proposal. The scientifically valid information and studies received by the Agency should
         be taken into account for decisions on testing proposals.
(65)     In addition, it is necessary to instil confidence in the general quality of registrations and to
         ensure that the public at large as well as all stakeholders in the chemicals industry have
         confidence that natural or legal persons are meeting the obligations placed upon them.
         Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for recording which information has been
         reviewed by an assessor possessing appropriate experience, and for a percentage of
         registrations to be checked for compliance by the Agency.
(66)     The Agency should also be empowered to require further information from manufacturers,
         importers or downstream users on substances suspected of posing a risk to human health or
         the environment, including by reason of their presence on the internal market in high
         volumes, on the basis of evaluations performed. Based on the criteria for prioritising
         substances developed by the Agency in cooperation with the Member States a Community
         rolling action plan for substance evaluation should be established, relying on Member State
         competent authorities to evaluate substances included therein. If a risk equivalent to the
         level of concern arising from the use of substances subject to authorisation arises from the
         use of isolated intermediates on site, the competent authorities of the Member States
         should also be allowed to require further information, when justified.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                       L 396/23
(67)     Collective agreement within the Agency's Member State Committee on its draft decisions
         should provide the basis for an efficient system that respects the principle of subsidiarity,
         while maintaining the internal market. If one or more Member States or the Agency do not
         agree to a draft decision, it should be adopted subject to a centralised procedure. If the
         Member State Committee fails to reach unanimous agreement, the Commission should
         adopt a decision in accordance with a Committee procedure.
(68)      Evaluation may lead to the conclusion that action should be taken under the restriction or
         authorisation procedures or that risk management action should be considered in the
         framework of other appropriate legislation. Information on the progress of evaluation
         proceedings should therefore be made public.
(69)      To ensure a sufficiently high level of protection for human health, including having regard
         to relevant human population groups and possibly to certain vulnerable sub-populations,
         and the environment, substances of very high concern should, in accordance with the
         precautionary principle, be subject to careful attention. Authorisation should be granted
         where natural or legal persons applying for an authorisation demonstrate to the granting
         authority that the risks to human health and the environment arising from the use of the
         substance are adequately controlled. Otherwise, uses may still be authorised if it can be
         shown that the socio-economic benefits from the use of the substance outweigh the risks
         connected with its use and there are no suitable alternative substances or technologies that
         are economically and technically viable. Taking into account the good functioning of the
         internal market it is appropriate that the Commission should be the granting authority.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/24         EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
(70)     Adverse effects on human health and the environment from substances of very high
         concern should be prevented through the application of appropriate risk management
         measures to ensure that any risks from the uses of a substance are adequately controlled,
         and with a view to progressively substituting these substances with a suitable safer
         substance. Risk management measures should be applied to ensure, when substances are
         manufactured, placed on the market and used, that exposure to these substances including
         discharges, emissions and losses, throughout the whole life-cycle is below the threshold
         level beyond which adverse effects may occur. For any substance for which authorisation
         has been granted, and for any other substance for which it is not possible to establish a safe
         level of exposure, measures should always be taken to minimise, as far as technically and
         practically possible, exposure and emissions with a view to minimising the likelihood of
         adverse effects. Measures to ensure adequate control should be identified in any Chemical
         Safety Report. These measures should be applied and, where appropriate, recommended to
         other actors down the supply chain.
(71)     Methodologies to establish thresholds for carcinogenic and mutagenic substances may be
         developed taking into account the outcomes of RIPs. The relevant Annex may be amended
         on the basis of these methodologies to allow thresholds where appropriate to be used while
         ensuring a high level of protection of human health and the environment.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                       L 396/25
(72)      To support the aim of eventual replacement of substances of very high concern by suitable
         alternative substances or technologies, all applicants for authorisation should provide an
         analysis of alternatives considering their risks and the technical and economic feasibility of
         substitution, including information on any research and development the applicant is
         undertaking or intends to undertake. Furthermore, authorisations should be subject to
         time-limited review whose periods would be determined on a case-by-case basis and
         normally be subject to conditions, including monitoring.
(73)     Substitution of a substance on its own, in a preparation or in an article should be required
         when manufacture, use or placing on the market of that substance causes an unacceptable
         risk to human health or to the environment, taking into account the availability of suitable
         safer alternative substances and technologies, and the socio-economic benefits from the
         uses of the substance posing an unacceptable risk.
(74)     Substitution of a substance of very high concern by suitable safer alternative substances or
         technologies should be considered by all those applying for authorisations of uses of such
         substances on their own, in preparations or for incorporation of substances into articles by
         making an analysis of alternatives, the risks involved in using any alternative and the
         technical and economic feasibility of substitution.
(75)     The possibility of introducing restrictions on the manufacturing, placing on the market and
         use of dangerous substances, preparations and articles applies to all substances falling
         within the scope of this Regulation, with minor exemptions. Restrictions on the placing on
         the market and the use of substances which are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to
         reproduction, category 1 or 2, for their use by consumers on their own or in preparations
         should continue to be introduced.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/26          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                    30.12.2006
(76)     Experience at international level shows that substances with characteristics rendering them
         persistent, liable to bioaccumulate and toxic, or very persistent and very liable to
         bioaccumulate, present a very high concern, while criteria have been developed allowing
         the identification of such substances. For certain other substances concerns are sufficiently
         high to address them in the same way on a case-by-case basis. The criteria in Annex XIII
         should be reviewed taking into account the current and any new experience in the
         identification of these substances and if appropriate, be amended with a view to ensuring a
         high level of protection for human health and the environment.
(77)     In view of workability and practicality considerations, both as regards natural or legal
         persons, who have to prepare application files and take appropriate risk management
         measures, and as regards the authorities, who have to process authorisation applications,
         only a limited number of substances should be subjected to the authorisation procedure at
         the same time and realistic deadlines should be set for applications, while allowing certain
         uses to be exempted. Substances identified as meeting the criteria for authorisation should
         be included in a candidate list for eventual inclusion in the authorisation procedure. Within
         this list, substances on the Agency's work programme should be clearly identified.
(78)     The Agency should provide advice on the prioritisation of substances to be made subject to
         the authorisation procedure, to ensure that decisions reflect the needs of society as well as
         scientific knowledge and developments.
(79)     A total ban on a substance would mean that none of its uses could be authorised. It would
         therefore be pointless to allow the submission of applications for authorisation. In such
         cases the substance should be removed from the list of substances for which applications
         can be submitted and added to the list of restricted substances.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                         L 396/27
(80)      The proper interaction between the provisions on authorisation and restriction should be
         ensured in order to preserve the efficient functioning of the internal market and the
         protection of human health, safety and the environment. Restrictions that exist when the
         substance in question is added to the list of substances for which applications for
         authorisation can be submitted, should be maintained for that substance. The Agency
         should consider whether the risk from substances in articles is adequately controlled and, if
         it is not, prepare a dossier in relation to introduction of further restrictions for substances
         for which the use requires authorisation.
(81)      In order to provide a harmonised approach to the authorisation of the uses of particular
         substances, the Agency should issue opinions on the risks arising from those uses,
         including whether or not the substance is adequately controlled and on any socio-economic
         analysis submitted to it by third parties. These opinions should be taken into account by the
         Commission when considering whether or not to grant an authorisation.
(82)     To allow effective monitoring and enforcement of the authorisation requirement,
         downstream users benefiting from an authorisation granted to their supplier should inform
         the Agency of their use of the substance.
(83)     It is suitable in these circumstances that final decisions granting or refusing authorisations
         be adopted by the Commission pursuant to a regulatory procedure in order to allow for an
         examination of their wider implications within the Member States and to associate the
         latter more closely with the decisions.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/28          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                       30.12.2006
(84)     In order to accelerate the current system the restriction procedure should be restructured
         and Directive 76/769/EEC, which has been substantially amended and adapted several
         times, should be replaced. In the interests of clarity and as a starting point for this new
         accelerated restriction procedure, all the restrictions developed under that Directive should
         be incorporated into this Regulation. Where appropriate, the application of Annex XVII of
         this Regulation should be facilitated by guidance developed by the Commission.
(85)     In relation to Annex XVII Member States should be allowed to maintain for a transitional
         period more stringent restrictions, provided that these restrictions have been notified
         according to the Treaty. This should concern substances on their own, substances in
         preparations and substances in articles, the manufacturing, the placing on the market and
         the use of which is restricted. The Commission should compile and publish an inventory of
         these restrictions. This would provide an opportunity for the Commission to review the
         measures concerned with a view to possible harmonisation.
(86)     It should be the responsibility of the manufacturer, importer and downstream user to
         identify the appropriate risk management measures needed to ensure a high level of
         protection for human health and the environment from the manufacturing, placing on the
         market or use of a substance on its own, in a preparation or in an article. However, where
         this is considered to be insufficient and where Community legislation is justified,
         appropriate restrictions should be laid down.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                        L 396/29
(87)      In order to protect human health and the environment, restrictions on the manufacture,
         placing on the market or use of a substance on its own, in a preparation or in an article may
         include any condition for, or prohibition of, the manufacture, placing on the market or use.
         Therefore it is necessary to list such restrictions and any amendments thereto.
(88)      In order to prepare a restrictions proposal and in order for such legislation to operate
         effectively, there should be good cooperation, coordination and information between the
         Member States, the Agency, other bodies of the Community, the Commission and the
         interested parties.
(89)      In order to give Member States the opportunity to submit proposals to address a specific
         risk for human health and the environment, they should prepare a dossier in conformity
         with detailed requirements. The dossier should set out the justification for
         Community-wide action.
(90)      In order to provide a harmonised approach to restrictions, the Agency should fulfil a role as
         coordinator of this procedure, for example by appointing the relevant rapporteurs and
         verifying conformity with the requirements of the relevant Annexes. The Agency should
         maintain a list of substances for which a restriction dossier is being prepared.
(91)      In order to give the Commission the opportunity to address a specific risk for human health
         and the environment that needs to be addressed Community wide, it should be able to
         entrust the Agency with the preparation of a restriction dossier.

(92)     For reasons of transparency, the Agency should publish the relevant dossier including the
         suggested restrictions while requesting comments.
(93)     In order to finalise the procedure in due time, the Agency should submit its opinions on the
         suggested action and its impact on the basis of a draft opinion prepared by a rapporteur.
(94)     In order to speed up the procedure for restrictions, the Commission should prepare its draft
         amendment within a specific time limit of receiving the Agency's opinions.
(95)     The Agency should be central to ensuring that chemicals legislation and the
         decision-making processes and scientific basis underlying it have credibility with all
         stakeholders and the public. The Agency should also play a pivotal role in coordinating
         communication around this Regulation and in its implementation. The confidence in the
         Agency of the Community institutions, the Member States, the general public and
         interested parties is therefore essential. For this reason, it is vital to ensure its
         independence, high scientific, technical and regulatory capacities, as well as transparency
         and efficiency.
(96)     The structure of the Agency should be suitable for the tasks that it should fulfil. Experience
         with similar Community agencies provides some guidance in this respect but the structure
         should be adapted to meet the specific needs of this Regulation.
(97)     The effective communication of information on chemical risks and how they can be
         managed is an essential part of the system established by this Regulation. Best practice
         from the chemicals and other sectors should be considered in the preparation of guidance
         by the Agency to all stakeholders.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/31
(98)     In the interests of efficiency, the staff of the Agency Secretariat should perform essentially
         technical-administrative and scientific tasks without calling on the scientific and technical
         resources of the Member States. The Executive Director should ensure the efficient
         execution of the Agency's tasks in an independent manner. To ensure that the Agency
         fulfils its role, the composition of the Management Board should be designed to represent
         each Member State, the Commission and other interested parties appointed by the
         Commission in order to ensure the involvement of stakeholders, and the European
         Parliament and to secure the highest standard of competence and a broad range of relevant
         expertise in chemicals safety or the regulation of chemicals, whilst ensuring that there is
         relevant expertise in the field of general financial and legal matters.
(99)      The Agency should have the means to perform all the tasks required to carry out its role.
(100)    A Commission Regulation should specify the structure and amounts of fees, including
         specifying the circumstances under which a proportion of the fees will be transferred to the
         relevant Member State competent authority.
(101)     The Management Board of the Agency should have the necessary powers to establish the
         budget, check its implementation, draw up internal rules, adopt financial regulations and
         appoint the Executive Director.
(102)     Through a Committee for Risk Assessment and a Committee for Socio-economic Analysis,
         the Agency should take over the role of the Scientific Committees attached to the
         Commission in issuing scientific opinions in its field of competence.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/32          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
(103)    Through a Member State Committee, the Agency should aim to reach agreement amongst
         Member States authorities on specific issues which require a harmonised approach.
(104)    It is necessary to ensure close cooperation between the Agency and the competent
         authorities working within the Member States so that the scientific opinions of the
         Committee for Risk Assessment and the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis are
         based on the broadest possible scientific and technical expertise appropriate which is
         available within the Community. To the same end, these Committees should be able to rely
         on additional particular expertise.
(105)    In the light of the increased responsibility of natural or legal persons for ensuring safe use
         of chemicals, enforcement needs to be strengthened. The Agency should therefore provide
         a Forum for Member States to exchange information on and to coordinate their activities
         related to the enforcement of chemicals legislation. The currently informal cooperation
         between Member States in this respect would benefit from a more formal framework.
(106)    A Board of Appeal should be set up within the Agency to guarantee processing of appeals
         for any natural or legal person affected by decisions taken by the Agency.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     L 396/33
(107)    The Agency should be financed partly by fees paid by natural or legal persons and partly
         by the general budget of the European Communities. The Community budgetary
         procedure should remain applicable as far as any subsidies chargeable to the general
         budget of the European Communities are concerned. Moreover, the auditing of accounts
         should be undertaken by the Court of Auditors in accordance with Article 91 of
         Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 23 December 2002 on
         the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of
         Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable
         to the general budget of the European Communities1.
(108)     Where the Commission and Agency consider it appropriate, it should be possible for
         representatives of third countries to participate in the work of the Agency.
(109)     The Agency should contribute, through cooperation with organisations having interests in
         the harmonisation of international regulations, to the role of the Community and the
         Member States in such harmonisation activities. To promote broad international consensus
         the Agency should take account of existing and emerging international standards in the
         regulation of chemicals such as the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) of classification
         and labelling of chemicals.
(110)     The Agency should provide the infrastructure needed for natural or legal persons to meet
         their obligations under the data-sharing provisions.

(111)    It is important to avoid confusion between the mission of the Agency and the respective
         missions of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) established by Regulation (EC)
         No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying
         down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products
         for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency1, the
         European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of
         the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general
         principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority
         and laying down procedures in matters of food safety2 and the Advisory Committee
         on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work set up by the Council Decision of
         22 July 20033. Consequently, the Agency should establish rules of procedure where
         cooperation with the EFSA or the Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health
         Protection at Work is necessary. This Regulation should otherwise be without prejudice to
         the competence conferred on the EMEA, the EFSA and the Advisory Committee on
         Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work by Community legislation.
(112)    In order to achieve the functioning of the internal market for substances on their own or in
         preparations, while at the same time ensuring a high level of protection for human health
         and the environment, rules should be established for a classification and labelling
         inventory.
(113)    The classification and labelling for any substance either subject to registration or covered
         by Article 1 of Directive 67/548/EEC and placed on the market should therefore be
         notified to the Agency to be included in the inventory.

(114)     To ensure a harmonised protection for the general public, and, in particular, for persons
         who come into contact with certain substances, and the proper functioning of other
         Community legislation relying on the classification and labelling, an inventory should
         record the classification in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC and
         Directive 1999/45/EC agreed by manufacturers and importers of the same substance, if
         possible, as well as decisions taken at Community level to harmonise the classification and
         labelling of some substances. This should take full account of the work and experience
         accumulated in connection with the activities under Directive 67/548/EEC, including the
         classification and labelling of specific substances or groups of substances listed in Annex I
         of Directive 67/548/EEC.
(115)     Resources should be focused on substances of the highest concern. A substance should
         therefore be added to Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC if it meets the criteria for
         classification as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction categories 1, 2 or 3, as a
         respiratory sensitiser, or in respect of other effects on a case-by-case basis. Provision
         should be made to enable competent authorities to submit proposals to the Agency. The
         Agency should give its opinion on the proposal while interested parties should have an
         opportunity to comment. The Commission should take a decision subsequently.
(116)     Regular reports by the Member States and the Agency on the operation of this Regulation
         will be an indispensable means of monitoring the implementation of this Regulation as
         well as trends in this field. Conclusions drawn from findings in the reports will be useful
         and practical tools for reviewing this Regulation and, where necessary, for formulating
         proposals for amendments.

(117)    EU-citizens should have access to information about chemicals to which they may be
         exposed, in order to allow them to make informed decisions about their use of chemicals.
         A transparent means of achieving this is to grant them free and easy access to basic data
         held in the Agency's database, including brief profiles of hazardous properties, labelling
         requirements and relevant Community legislation including authorised uses and risk
         management measures. The Agency and Member States should allow access to
         information in accordance with Directive 2003/4/EC of the European Parliament and
         of the Council of 28 January 2003 on public access to environmental information1,
         Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
         30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission
         documents2 and with the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public
         Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, to
         which the European Community is a party.
(118)    Disclosure of information under this Regulation is subject to the specific requirements of
         Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. That Regulation sets binding deadlines for the release of
         information as well as procedural guarantees, including the right of appeal. The
         Management Board should adopt the practical arrangements for application of those
         requirements to the Agency.

(119)     Apart from their participation in the implementation of Community legislation,
         Member State competent authorities should, because of their closeness to stakeholders in
         the Member States, play a role in the exchange of information on risks of substances and
         on the obligations of natural or legal persons under chemicals legislation. At the same time,
         close cooperation between the Agency, the Commission and the competent authorities of
         the Member States is necessary to ensure the coherence and efficiency of the global
         communication process.
(120)     In order for the system established by this Regulation to operate effectively, there should
         be good cooperation, coordination and exchange of information between the
         Member States, the Agency and the Commission regarding enforcement.
(121)     In order to ensure compliance with this Regulation, Member States should put in place
         effective monitoring and control measures. The necessary inspections should be planned,
         carried out and their results should be reported.
(122)     In order to ensure transparency, impartiality and consistency in the level of enforcement
         activities by Member States, it is necessary for Member States to set up an appropriate
         framework for penalties with a view to imposing effective, proportionate and dissuasive
         penalties for non-compliance, as non-compliance can result in damage to human health and
         the environment.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/38          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      30.12.2006
(123)    The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation and certain amendments
         to it should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999
         laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the
         Commission1.
(124)    In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to amend the Annexes in
         certain cases, to set rules on test methods, to vary the percentage of dossiers selected for
         compliance checking and to modify the criteria for their selection, and to set the criteria
         defining what constitutes adequate justification that testing is technically not possible.
         Since these measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential
         elements of this Regulation or supplement this Regulation by adding new non-essential
         elements thereto, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with
         scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(125)    It is essential that chemicals be regulated in an effective and timely manner during the
         transition to full applicability of the provisions of this Regulation and, in particular, during
         the start-up period of the Agency. Provision should therefore be made for the Commission
         to provide the necessary support towards the setting up of the Agency, including the
         conclusion of contracts and the appointment of an Executive Director ad interim until the
         Agency's Management Board can appoint an Executive Director itself.

(126)     To take full advantage of the work performed under Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 as well
          as under Directive 76/769/EEC and to avoid such work being lost, the Commission should
          be empowered during the start-up period to initiate restrictions based on that work without
          following the full restrictions procedure laid down in this Regulation. All those elements
          should be used, as soon as this Regulation enters into force, to support risk reduction
          measures.
(127)     It is appropriate for the provisions of this Regulation to enter into force in a staggered way
          to smooth the transition to the new system. Moreover, a gradual entry into force of the
          provisions should allow all parties involved, authorities, natural or legal persons as well as
          stakeholders, to focus resources in the preparation for new duties at the right times.
(128)     This Regulation replaces Directive 76/769/EEC, Commission Directive 91/155/EEC1,
          Commission Directive 93/67/EEC2, Commission Directive 93/105/EC3, Commission

(129)    For the sake of consistency, Directive 1999/45/EC which already addresses matters
         covered by this Regulation should be amended.
(130)    Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely laying down rules for substances and
         establishing a European Chemicals Agency, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the
         Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community
         may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5
         of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article,
         this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
(131)    The Regulation observes the fundamental rights and principles which are acknowledged in
         particular in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union1. In particular, it
         seeks to ensure full compliance with the principles of environmental protection and
         sustainable development guaranteed by Article 37 of that Charter,

                                Aim, scope and application
                                                 Article 1
                                              Aim and scope
1.       The purpose of this Regulation is to ensure a high level of protection of human health and
         the environment, including the promotion of alternative methods for assessment of hazards
         of substances, as well as the free circulation of substances on the internal market while
         enhancing competitiveness and innovation.
2.       This Regulation lays down provisions on substances and preparations within the meaning
         of Article 3. These provisions shall apply to the manufacture, placing on the market or use
         of such substances on their own, in preparations or in articles and to the placing on the
         market of preparations.
3.       This Regulation is based on the principle that it is for manufacturers, importers and
         downstream users to ensure that they manufacture, place on the market or use such
         substances that do not adversely affect human health or the environment. Its provisions are
         underpinned by the precautionary principle.

3)       Article: means an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or
         design which determines its function to a greater degree than does its chemical
         composition;
(4)      Producer of an article: means any natural or legal person who makes or assembles an
         article within the Community;
5)       Polymer: means a substance consisting of molecules characterised by the sequence of one
         or more types of monomer units. Such molecules must be distributed over a range of
         molecular weights wherein differences in the molecular weight are primarily attributable to
         differences in the number of monomer units. A polymer comprises the following:
         (a)    a simple weight majority of molecules containing at least three monomer units which
                are covalently bound to at least one other monomer unit or other reactant;
         (b)    less than a simple weight majority of molecules of the same molecular weight.
         In the context of this definition a "monomer unit" means the reacted form of a monomer
         substance in a polymer;
6)       Monomer: means a substance which is capable of forming covalent bonds with a sequence
         of additional like or unlike molecules under the conditions of the relevant polymer-forming
         reaction used for the particular process;

10)      Import: means the physical introduction into the customs territory of the Community;
11)      Importer: means any natural or legal person established within the Community who is
         responsible for import;
12)      Placing on the market: means supplying or making available, whether in return for
         payment or free of charge, to a third party. Import shall be deemed to be placing on the
         market;
13)      Downstream user: means any natural or legal person established within the Community,
         other than the manufacturer or the importer, who uses a substance, either on its own or in a
         preparation, in the course of his industrial or professional activities. A distributor or a
         consumer is not a downstream user. A re-importer exempted pursuant to Article 2(7)(c)
         shall be regarded as a downstream user;

         chemical processing in order to be transformed into another substance (hereinafter referred
         to as "synthesis"):
         (a)    non-isolated intermediate: means an intermediate that during synthesis is not
                intentionally removed (except for sampling) from the equipment in which the
                synthesis takes place. Such equipment includes the reaction vessel, its ancillary
                equipment, and any equipment through which the substance(s) pass(es) during a
                continuous flow or batch process as well as the pipework for transfer from one vessel
                to another for the purpose of the next reaction step, but it excludes tanks or other
                vessels in which the substance(s) are stored after the manufacture;
         (b)    on-site isolated intermediate: means an intermediate not meeting the criteria of a
                non-isolated intermediate and where the manufacture of the intermediate and the

                            Joint submission of data by multiple registrants
1.       When a substance is intended to be manufactured in the Community by one or more
         manufacturers and/or imported by one or more importers, and/or is subject to registration
         under Article 7, the following shall apply.
         Subject to paragraph 3, the information specified in Article 10(a)(iv), (vi), (vii) and (ix),
         and any relevant indication under Article 10(a)(viii) shall first be submitted by the one
         registrant acting with the agreement of the other assenting registrant(s) (hereinafter
         referred to as "the lead registrant").
         Each registrant shall subsequently submit separately the information specified in
         Article 10(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (x), and any relevant indication under Article 10(a)(viii).
         The registrants may decide themselves whether to submit the information specified in
         Article 10(a)(v) and (b) and any relevant indication under Article 10(a)(viii) separately or
         whether one registrant is to submit this information on behalf of the others.
2.       Each registrant need only comply with paragraph 1 for items of information specified in
         Article 10(a)(iv), (vi), (vii) and (ix) that are required for the purposes of registration within
         his tonnage band in accordance with Article 12.

3.       A registrant may submit the information referred to in Article 10(a)(iv), (vi), (vii) or (ix)
         separately if:
         (a)    it would be disproportionately costly for him to submit this information jointly; or
         (b)    submitting the information jointly would lead to disclosure of information which he
                considers to be commercially sensitive and is likely to cause him substantial
                commercial detriment; or
         (c)    he disagrees with the lead registrant on the selection of this information.
         If points (a), (b) or (c) apply, the registrant shall submit, along with the dossier, an
         explanation as to why the costs would be disproportionate, why disclosure of information
         was likely to lead to substantial commercial detriment or the nature of the disagreement, as
         the case may be.
4.       A submission for registration shall be accompanied by the fee required in accordance with
         Title IX.

         (a)   the information specified in Annex VII for non-phase-in substances, and for phase-in
               substances meeting one or both of the criteria specified in Annex III, manufactured
               or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year per manufacturer or importer;
         (b)   the information on physicochemical properties specified in Annex VII, section 7 for
               phase-in substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or more
               per year per manufacturer or importer which do not meet either of the criteria
               specified in Annex III;
         (c)   the information specified in Annexes VII and VIII for substances manufactured or
               imported in quantities of 10 tonnes or more per year per manufacturer or importer;

3.       This Article shall apply to producers of articles adapted as necessary.
                                                  Article 13
                          General requirements for generation of information
                                  on intrinsic properties of substances
1.       Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than
         tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met. In particular for human
         toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate
         animal tests, through the use of alternative methods, for example, in vitro methods or
         qualitative or quantitative structure-activity relationship models or from information from
         structurally related substances (grouping or read-across). Testing in accordance with
         Annex VIII, section 8.6 and 8.7, Annex IX and Annex X may be omitted where justified
         by information on exposure and implemented risk management measures as specified in
         Annex XI, section 3.
2.       These methods shall be regularly reviewed and improved with a view to reducing testing
         on vertebrate animals and the number of animals involved. The Commission, following
         consultation with relevant stakeholders, shall, as soon as possible, make a proposal, if
         appropriate, to amend the Commission Regulation on test methods adopted in accordance
         with the procedure referred to in Article 133(4), and the Annexes of this Regulation, if
         relevant, so as to replace, reduce or refine animal testing. Amendments to that Commission
         Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure specified in paragraph 3 and
         amendments to the Annexes of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the
         procedure referred to in Article 131.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/76         EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      30.12.2006
3.       Where tests on substances are required to generate information on intrinsic properties of
         substances, they shall be conducted in accordance with the test methods laid down in a
         Commission Regulation or in accordance with other international test methods recognised
         by the Commission or the Agency as being appropriate. The Commission shall adopt that
         Regulation, designed to amend the non-essential elements of this Regulation by
         supplementing it, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 133(4).
         Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated in accordance with
         other test methods provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met.
4.       Ecotoxicological and toxicological tests and analyses shall be carried out in compliance
         with the principles of good laboratory practice provided for in Directive 2004/10/EC or
         other international standards recognised as being equivalent by the Commission or the
         Agency and with the provisions of Directive 86/609/EEC, if applicable.
5.       If a substance has already been registered, a new registrant shall be entitled to refer to the
         study summaries or robust study summaries, for the same substance submitted earlier,
         provided that he can show that the substance that he is now registering is the same as the
         one previously registered, including the degree of purity and the nature of impurities, and
         that the previous registrant(s) have given permission to refer to the full study reports for
         the purpose of registration.
         A new registrant shall not refer to such studies in order to provide the information required
         in section 2 of Annex VI.

                               and recommend risk reduction measures
1.       Without prejudice to Article 4 of Directive 98/24/EC, a chemical safety assessment shall
         be performed and a chemical safety report completed for all substances subject to
         registration in accordance with this Chapter in quantities of 10 tonnes or more per year
         per registrant.
         The chemical safety report shall document the chemical safety assessment which shall be
         conducted in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 7 and with Annex I for either each substance
         on its own or in a preparation or in an article or a group of substances.
2.        A chemical safety assessment in accordance with paragraph 1 need not be performed for a
         substance which is present in a preparation if the concentration of the substance in the
         preparation is less than the lowest of any of the following:
         (a)    the applicable concentrations defined in the table of Article 3(3) of
                Directive 1999/45/EC;
         (b)    the concentration limits given in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC;
         (c)    the concentration limits given in Part B of Annex II to Directive 1999/45/EC;
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/78          EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
         (d)    the concentration limits given in Part B of Annex III to Directive 1999/45/EC;
         (e)    the concentration limits given in an agreed entry in the classification and labelling
                inventory established under Title XI of this Regulation;
         (f)    0,1 % weight by weight (w/w), if the substance meets the criteria in Annex XIII of
                this Regulation.
3.       A chemical safety assessment of a substance shall include the following steps:
         (a)    human health hazard assessment;
         (b)    physicochemical hazard assessment;
         (c)    environmental hazard assessment;
         (d)    persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) and very persistent and very
                bioaccumulative (vPvB) assessment.
4.       If, as a result of carrying out steps (a) to (d) of paragraph 3, the registrant concludes that
         the substance meets the criteria for classification as dangerous in accordance with
         Directive 67/548/EEC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB, the chemical safety assessment
         shall include the following additional steps:
         (a)    exposure assessment including the generation of exposure scenario(s) (or the
                identification of relevant use and exposure categories if appropriate) and exposure
                estimation;
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/79
         (b)    risk characterisation.
         The exposure scenarios (where appropriate the use and exposure categories), exposure
         assessment and risk characterisation shall address all identified uses of the registrant.
5.        The chemical safety report need not include consideration of the risks to human health
         from the following end uses:
         (a)    in food contact materials within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the
                European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles
                intended to come into contact with food1;
         (b)    in cosmetic products within the scope of Directive 76/768/EEC.
6.       Any registrant shall identify and apply the appropriate measures to adequately control the
         risks identified in the chemical safety assessment, and where suitable, recommend them in
         the safety data sheets which he supplies in accordance with Article 31.
7.       Any registrant required to conduct a chemical safety assessment shall keep his chemical
         safety report available and up to date.

              Joint submission of data on isolated intermediates by multiple registrants
1.       When an on-site isolated intermediate or transported isolated intermediate is intended to be
         manufactured in the Community by one or more manufacturers and/or imported by one or
         more importers, the following shall apply.
         Subject to paragraph 2 of this Article, the information specified in Article 17(2)(c) and (d)
         and Article 18(2)(c) and (d) shall first be submitted by one manufacturer or importer acting
         with the agreement of the other assenting manufacturer(s) or importer(s) (hereinafter
         referred to as "the lead registrant").
         Each registrant shall subsequently submit separately the information specified in
         Article 17(2)(a), (b), (e) and (f) and Article 18(2)(a),(b), (e) and (f).
2.       A manufacturer or importer may submit the information referred to in Article 17(2)(c)
         or (d) and Article 18(2)(c) or (d) separately if:
         (a)   it would be disproportionately costly for him to submit this jointly; or
         (b)   submitting the information jointly would lead to disclosure of information which he
               considers to be commercially sensitive and is likely to cause him substantial
               commercial detriment; or

         (c)    he disagrees with the lead registrant on the selection of this information.
         If points (a), (b) or (c) apply, the manufacturer or importer shall submit, along with the
         dossier, an explanation as to why the costs would be disproportionate, why disclosure of
         information was likely to lead to substantial commercial detriment, or the nature of the
         disagreement, as the case may be.
3.       A submission for registration shall be accompanied by the fee required in accordance with
         Title IX.

3.       If a lead registrant submits parts of the registration on behalf of one or more other
         registrants, as provided for in Articles 11 or 19, any of the other registrants may
         manufacture or import the substance or produce or import the articles only after the expiry
         of the time-limit laid down in paragraph 1 or 2 of this Article and provided that there is no
         indication to the contrary from the Agency in respect of the registration of the lead
         registrant acting on behalf of the others and his own registration.

3.       If the same substance has previously been registered less than 12 years earlier, the Agency
         shall inform the potential registrant without delay of the names and addresses of the
         previous registrant(s) and of the relevant summaries or robust study summaries, as the case
         may be, already submitted by them.
         Studies involving vertebrate animals shall not be repeated.
         The Agency shall simultaneously inform the previous registrants of the name and address
         of the potential registrant. The available studies shall be shared with the potential registrant
         in accordance with Article 27.
4.       If several potential registrants have made an inquiry in respect of the same substance, the
         Agency shall inform all potential registrants without delay of the name and address of the
         other potential registrants.

                      Sharing of existing data in the case of registered substances
1.       Where a substance has previously been registered less than 12 years earlier as referred to in
         Article 26(3), the potential registrant:
         (a)    shall, in the case of information involving tests on vertebrate animals; and
         (b)    may, in the case of information not involving tests on vertebrate animals,
         request from the previous registrant(s) the information he requires with respect to
         Article 10(a)(vi) and (vii) in order to register.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                  Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/99
2.       When a request for information has been made according to paragraph 1, the potential and
         the previous registrant(s) as referred to in paragraph 1 shall make every effort to reach an
         agreement on the sharing of the information requested by the potential registrant(s) with
         respect to Article 10(a)(vi) and (vii). Such an agreement may be replaced by submission of
         the matter to an arbitration board and acceptance of the arbitration order.
3.       The previous registrant and potential registrant(s) shall make every effort to ensure that the
         costs of sharing the information are determined in a fair, transparent and
         non-discriminatory way. This may be facilitated by following cost sharing guidance based
         on those principles which is adopted by the Agency in accordance with Article 77(2)(g).
         Registrants are only required to share in the costs of information that they are required to
         submit to satisfy their registration requirements.
4.       On agreement on the sharing of the information, the previous registrant shall make
         available to the new registrant the agreed information and shall give the new registrant the
         permission to refer to the previous registrant's full study report.
5.       If there is failure to reach such an agreement, the potential registrant(s) shall inform the
         Agency and the previous registrant(s) thereof at the earliest one month after receipt, from
         the Agency, of the name and address of the previous registrant(s).

6.        Within one month from the receipt of the information referred to in paragraph 5, the
          Agency shall give the potential registrant permission to refer to the information requested
          by him in his registration dossier, subject to the potential registrant providing, upon request
          by the Agency, proof that he has paid the previous registrant(s) for that information a share
          of cost incurred. The previous registrant(s) shall have a claim on the potential registrant for
          a proportionate share of the cost incurred by him. Calculation of the proportionate share
          may be facilitated by the guidance adopted by the Agency in accordance with
          Article 77(2)(g). Provided he makes the full study report available to the potential
          registrant, the previous registrant(s) shall have a claim on the potential registrant for an
          equal share of the cost incurred by him, which shall be enforceable in the national courts.
7.        An appeal may be brought, in accordance with Articles 91, 92 and 93, against Agency
          decisions under paragraph 6 of this Article.
8.        The registration waiting period in accordance with Article 21(1) for the new registrant
          shall be extended by a period of four months, if the previous registrant so requests.

6.       Potential registrants who manufacture or import for the first time a phase-in substance in
         quantities of 1 tonne or more per year or use for the first time a phase-in substance in the
         context of production of articles or import for the first time an article containing a phase-in
         substance that would require registration, after 1 December 2008, shall be entitled to rely
         on Article 23 provided that they submit the information referred to in paragraph 1 of this
         Article to the Agency within six months of first manufacturing, importing or using the
         substance in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year and no later than 12 months before the
         relevant deadline in Article 23.
7.       Manufacturers or importers of phase-in substances in quantities of less than 1 tonne
         per year that appear on the list published by the Agency in accordance with paragraph 4 of
         this Article, as well as downstream users of those substances and third parties holding
         information on those substances, may submit the information referred to in paragraph 1 of
         this Article or any other relevant information to the Agency for those substances, with the
         intention of being part of the substance information exchange forum as referred to in
         Article 29.

                                  Substance Information Exchange Fora
1.        All potential registrants, downstream users and third parties who have submitted
          information to the Agency in accordance with Article 28, or whose information is held by
          the Agency in accordance with Article 15, for the same phase-in substance, or registrants
          who have submitted a registration for that phase-in substance before the deadline set out in
          Article 23(3), shall be participants in a substance information exchange forum (SIEF).
2.        The aim of each SIEF shall be to:
          (a)   facilitate, for the purposes of registration, the exchange of the information specified
                in Article 10(a) (vi) and (vii) between potential registrants, thereby avoiding the
                duplication of studies; and
          (b)   agree classification and labelling where there is a difference in the classification and
                labelling of the substance between potential registrants.

3.       SIEF participants shall provide other participants with existing studies, react to requests by
         other participants for information, collectively identify needs for further studies for the
         purposes of paragraph 2(a) and arrange for such studies to be carried out. Each SIEF shall
         be operational until 1 June 2018.
                                                  Article 30
                                     Sharing of data involving tests
1.       Before testing is carried out in order to meet the information requirements for the purposes
         of registration, a SIEF participant shall inquire whether a relevant study is available by
         communicating within his SIEF. If a relevant study involving tests on vertebrate animals is
         available within the SIEF, a participant of that SIEF shall request that study. If a relevant
         study not involving tests on vertebrate animals is available within the SIEF, a SIEF
         participant may request that study.
         Within one month of the request, the owner of the study shall provide proof of its cost to
         the participant(s) requesting it. The participant(s) and the owner shall make every effort to
         ensure that the costs of sharing the information are determined in a fair, transparent and
         non discriminatory way. This may be facilitated by following any cost sharing guidance
         which is based on those principles and is adopted by the Agency in accordance with
         Article 77(2)(g). If they cannot reach such an agreement, the cost shall be shared equally.
         The owner shall give permission to refer to the full study report for the purpose of
         registration within two weeks of receipt of payment. Registrants are only required to share
         in the costs of information that they are required to submit to satisfy their registration
         requirements.

2.        If a relevant study involving tests is not available within the SIEF, only one study shall be
          conducted per information requirement within each SIEF by one of its participants acting
          on behalf of the others. They shall take all reasonable steps to reach an agreement within a
          deadline set by the Agency as to who is to carry out the test on behalf of the other
          participants and to submit a summary or robust study summary to the Agency. If no
          agreement is reached, the Agency shall specify which registrant or downstream user shall
          perform the test. All participants of the SIEF who require a study shall contribute to the
          costs for the elaboration of the study with a share corresponding to the number of
          participating potential registrants. Those participants that do not carry out the study
          themselves shall have the right to receive the full study report within two weeks following
          payment to the participant that carried out the study.
3.        If the owner of a study as referred to in paragraph 1 which involves testing on vertebrate
          animals refuses to provide either proof of the cost of that study or the study itself to
          (an)other participant(s), he shall not be able to proceed with registration until he provides
          the information to the other participants(s). The other participant(s) shall proceed with
          registration without fulfilling the relevant information requirement, explaining the reason
          for this in the registration dossier. The study shall not be repeated unless within 12 months
          of the date of registration of the other participant(s), the owner of this information has not
          provided it to them and the Agency decides that the test should be repeated by them.
          However, if a registration containing this information has already been submitted by
          another registrant, the Agency shall give the other participant(s) permission to refer to the
          information in his registration dossier(s). The other registrant shall have a claim on the
          other participant(s) for an equal share of the cost, provided he makes the full study report
          available to the other participant(s), which shall be enforceable in the national courts.

4.       If the owner of a study as referred to in paragraph 1 which does not involve testing on
         vertebrate animals refuses to provide either proof of the cost of that study or the study itself
         to (an)other participant(s), the other SIEF participants shall proceed with registration as if
         no relevant study was available in the SIEF.
5.       An appeal may be brought, in accordance with Articles 91, 92 and 93, against Agency
         decisions under paragraphs 2 or 3 of this Article.
6.       The owner of the study who has refused to provide either proof of the cost or the study
         itself, as referred to in paragraph 3 or 4 of this Article, shall be penalised in accordance
         with Article 126.

                                   Requirements for Safety Data Sheets
1.       The supplier of a substance or a preparation shall provide the recipient of the substance or
         preparation with a safety data sheet compiled in accordance with Annex II:
         (a)    where a substance or preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous in
                accordance with Directives 67/548/EEC or 1999/45/EC; or
         (b)    where a substance is persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic or very persistent and very
                bioaccumulative in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex XIII; or
         (c)    where a substance is included in the list established in accordance with Article 59(1)
                for reasons other than those referred to in points (a) and (b).

2.        Any actor in the supply chain who is required, under Articles 14 or 37, to carry out a
          chemical safety assessment for a substance shall ensure that the information in the safety
          data sheet is consistent with the information in this assessment. If the safety data sheet is
          developed for a preparation and the actor in the supply chain has prepared a chemical
          safety assessment for that preparation, it is sufficient if the information in the safety data
          sheet is consistent with the chemical safety report for the preparation instead of with the
          chemical safety report for each substance in the preparation.
3.        The supplier shall provide the recipient at his request with a safety data sheet compiled in
          accordance with Annex II, where a preparation does not meet the criteria for classification
          as dangerous in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Directive 1999/45/EC, but contains:
          (a)   in an individual concentration of ≥ 1 % by weight for non-gaseous preparations and
                ≥ 0,2 % by volume for gaseous preparations at least one substance posing human
                health or environmental hazards; or
          (b)   in an individual concentration of ≥ 0,1 % by weight for non-gaseous preparations at
                least one substance that is persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic or very persistent
                and very bioaccumulative in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex XIII or has
                been included for reasons other than those referred to in point (a) in the list
                established in accordance with Article 59(1);or
          (c)   a substance for which there are Community workplace exposure limits.

4.       The safety data sheet need not be supplied where dangerous substances or preparations
         offered or sold to the general public are provided with sufficient information to enable
         users to take the necessary measures as regards the protection of human health, safety and
         the environment, unless requested by a downstream user or distributor.
5.       The safety data sheet shall be supplied in an official language of the Member State(s)
         where the substance or preparation is placed on the market, unless the Member State(s)
         concerned provide otherwise.
6.       The safety data sheet shall be dated and shall contain the following headings:
         1.    identification of the substance/preparation and of the company/undertaking;
         2.    hazards identification;
         3.    composition/information on ingredients;

7.        Any actor in the supply chain who is required to prepare a chemical safety report according
          to Articles 14 or 37 shall place the relevant exposure scenarios (including use and exposure
          categories where appropriate) in an annex to the safety data sheet covering identified uses
          and including specific conditions resulting from the application of section 3 of Annex XI.
          Any downstream user shall include relevant exposure scenarios, and use other relevant
          information, from the safety data sheet supplied to him when compiling his own safety
          data sheet for identified uses.
          Any distributor shall pass on relevant exposure scenarios, and use other relevant
          information, from the safety data sheet supplied to him when compiling his own safety
          data sheet for uses for which he has passed on information according to Article 37(2).

9.       Suppliers shall update the safety data sheet without delay on the following occasions:
         (a)   as soon as new information which may affect the risk management measures, or new
               information on hazards becomes available;
         (b)   once an authorisation has been granted or refused;
         (c)   once a restriction has been imposed.
         The new, dated version of the information, identified as "Revision: (date)", shall be
         provided free of charge on paper or electronically to all former recipients to whom they
         have supplied the substance or preparation within the preceding 12 months. Any updates
         following registration shall include the registration number.

                              for which a safety data sheet is not required
1.       Any supplier of a substance on its own or in a preparation who does not have to supply a
         safety data sheet in accordance with Article 31 shall provide the recipient with the
         following information:
         (a)   the registration number(s) referred to in Article 20(3), if available, for any substances
               for which information is communicated under points (b), (c) or (d) of this paragraph
         (b)   if the substance is subject to authorisation and details of any authorisation granted or

                                   Criteria for substance evaluation
1.       In order to ensure a harmonised approach, the Agency shall in cooperation with the
         Member States develop criteria for prioritising substances with a view to further
         evaluation. Prioritisation shall be on a risk-based approach. The criteria shall consider:
         (a)   hazard information, for instance structural similarity of the substance with known
               substances of concern or with substances which are persistent and liable to
               bio-accumulate, suggesting that the substance or one or more of its transformation
               products has properties of concern or is persistent and liable to bio-accumulate;
         (b)   exposure information;
         (c)   tonnage, including aggregated tonnage from the registrations submitted by several
               registrants.

2.        The Agency shall use the criteria in paragraph 1 for the purpose of compiling a draft
          Community rolling action plan which shall cover a period of three years and shall specify
          substances to be evaluated each year. Substances shall be included if there are grounds for
          considering (either on the basis of a dossier evaluation carried out by the Agency or on the
          basis of any other appropriate source, including information in the registration dossier) that
          a given substance constitutes a risk to human health or the environment. The Agency shall
          submit the first draft rolling action plan to the Member States by 1 December 2011. The
          Agency shall submit draft annual updates to the rolling action plan to the Member States
          by 28 February each year.
          The Agency shall adopt the final Community rolling action plan on the basis of an opinion
          from the Member State Committee set up under Article 76(1)(e) (hereinafter referred to as
          "the Member State Committee") and shall publish the plan on its website, identifying the
          Member State who will carry out the evaluation of the substances listed therein as
          determined according to Article 45.
                                                    Article 45
                                             Competent authority
1.        The Agency shall be responsible for coordinating the substance evaluation process and
          ensuring that substances on the Community rolling action plan are evaluated. In doing so,
          the Agency shall rely on the competent authorities of Member States. In carrying out an
          evaluation of a substance, the competent authorities may appoint another body to act on
          their behalf.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                   L 396/129
2.       A Member State may choose (a) substance(s) from the draft Community rolling action
         plan, with the aim of becoming a competent authority for the purposes of Articles 46, 47
         and 48. In the event of a substance from the draft Community rolling action plan not being
         chosen by any Member State, the Agency shall ensure that the substance is evaluated.
3.       In cases where two or more Member States have expressed an interest in evaluating the
         same substance and they cannot agree who should be the competent authority, the
         competent authority for the purposes of Articles 46, 47 and 48 shall be determined in
         accordance with the following procedure.
         The Agency shall refer the matter to the Member State Committee, in order to agree which
         authority shall be the competent authority, taking into account the Member State in which
         the manufacturer(s) or importer(s) is located, the respective proportions of total
         Community gross domestic product, the number of substances already being evaluated by
         a Member State and the expertise available.
         If, within 60 days of the referral, the Member State Committee reaches unanimous
         agreement, the Member States concerned shall adopt substances for evaluation
         accordingly.
         If the Member State Committee fails to reach a unanimous agreement, the Agency shall
         submit the conflicting opinions to the Commission, which shall decide which authority
         shall be the competent authority, in accordance with the procedure referred to in
         Article 133(3), and the Member States concerned shall adopt substances for evaluation
         accordingly.

4.        The competent authority identified in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 shall evaluate
          the allocated substances in accordance with this Chapter.
5.        A Member State may notify the Agency at any time of a substance not on the Community
          rolling action plan, whenever it is in possession of information which suggests that the
          substance is a priority for evaluation. The Agency shall decide whether to add this
          substance to the Community rolling action plan on the basis of an opinion from the
          Member State Committee. If the substance is added to the Community rolling action plan,
          the proposing Member State, or another Member State who agrees, shall evaluate that
          substance.

                  Requests for further information and check of information submitted
1.        If the competent authority considers that further information is required, including, if
          appropriate, information not required in Annexes VII to X, it shall prepare a draft decision,
          stating reasons, requiring the registrant(s) to submit the further information and setting a
          deadline for its submission. A draft decision shall be prepared within 12 months of the
          publication of the Community rolling action plan on the Agency's website for substances to
          be evaluated that year. The decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure laid
          down in Articles 50 and 52.
2.        The registrant shall submit the information required to the Agency by the deadline set.
3.        The competent authority shall examine any information submitted, and shall draft any
          appropriate decisions in accordance with this Article, if necessary, within 12 months of the
          information being submitted.

4.       The competent authority shall finish its evaluation activities within 12 months of the start
         of the evaluation of the substance or within 12 months of the information being submitted
         under paragraph 2, and notify the Agency accordingly. If this deadline is exceeded, the
         evaluation shall be deemed to be finished.

                                     Coherence with other activities
1.        An evaluation of a substance shall be based on all relevant information submitted on that
         particular substance and on any previous evaluation under this Title. Where information on
         intrinsic properties of a substance has been generated by reference to structurally related
         substance(s), the evaluation may also cover these related substances. In cases where a
         decision on an evaluation has been previously taken in accordance with Article 51 or
         Article 52, any draft decision requiring further information under Article 46 may be
         justified only by a change of circumstances or acquired knowledge.
2.       In order to ensure a harmonised approach to requests for further information, the Agency
         shall monitor draft decisions under Article 46 and shall develop criteria and priorities.
         Where appropriate, implementing measures shall be adopted in accordance with the
         procedure referred to in Article 133(3).

                                    Follow-up to substance evaluation
Once the substance evaluation has been completed, the competent authority shall consider how to
use the information obtained from this evaluation for the purposes of Article 59(3), Article 69(4)
and Article 115(1). The competent authority shall inform the Agency of its conclusions as to
whether or how to use the information obtained. The Agency shall in turn inform the Commission,
the registrant and the competent authorities of the other Member States.

                         Further information on on-site isolated intermediates
For on-site isolated intermediates that are used in strictly controlled conditions, neither dossier nor
substance evaluation shall apply. However, where the competent authority of the Member State in
whose territory the site is located considers that a risk to human health or the environment,
equivalent to the level of concern arising from the use of substances meeting the criteria in
Article 57, arises from the use of an on-site isolated intermediate and that risk is not properly
controlled, it may:
(a)       require the registrant to submit further information directly related to the risk identified.
          This request shall be accompanied by a written justification;
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                        L 396/133
(b)       examine any information submitted and, if necessary, recommend any appropriate risk
         reduction measures to address the risks identified in relation to the site in question.
The procedure provided for in the first paragraph may be undertaken only by the competent
authority referred to therein. The competent authority shall inform the Agency of the results of such
an evaluation, which shall then inform the competent authorities of the other Member States and
make the results available to them.

1.       The Agency shall notify any draft decision under Articles 40, 41 or 46 to the registrant(s)
         or downstream user(s) concerned, informing them of their right to comment within 30 days
         of receipt. If the concerned registrant(s) or downstream user(s) wish to comment, they shall
         provide their comments to the Agency. The Agency in turn shall inform the competent
         authority of the submission of the comments without delay. The competent authority (for
         decisions taken under Article 46) and the Agency (for decisions taken under Articles 40
         and 41) shall take any comments received into account and may amend the draft decision
         accordingly.

2.        If a registrant has ceased the manufacture or import of the substance, or the production or
          import of an article, or the downstream user the use, he shall inform the Agency of this fact
          with the consequence that the registered volume in his registration, if appropriate, shall be
          put to zero and no further information may be requested with respect to that substance,
          unless the registrant notifies the restart of the manufacture or import of the substance or the
          production or import of the article, or the downstream user notifies the restart of the use.
          The Agency shall inform the competent authority of the Member State in which the
          registrant or downstream user is located.
3.        The registrant may cease the manufacture or import of the substance or the production or
          import of the article, or the downstream user the use, upon receipt of the draft decision. In
          such cases, the registrant, or downstream user, shall inform the Agency of this fact with the
          consequence that his registration, or report, shall no longer be valid, and no further
          information may be requested with respect to that substance, unless he submits a new
          registration or report. The Agency shall inform the competent authority of the Member
          State in which the registrant or downstream user is located.
4.        Notwithstanding paragraphs 2 and 3, further information may be required in accordance
          with Article 46 in either or both of the following cases:
          (a)    where the competent authority prepares a dossier in accordance with Annex XV
                 concluding that there is a potential long-term risk to human health or the
                 environment justifying the need for further information;
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/135
         (b)    where the exposure to the substance manufactured or imported by the registrant(s), or
                to the substance in the article produced or imported by the registrant(s), or to the
                substance used by the downstream user(s) contributes significantly to that risk.
         The procedure in Articles 69 to 73 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

                            Adoption of decisions under dossier evaluation
1.       The Agency shall notify its draft decision in accordance with Articles 40 or 41, together
         with the comments of the registrant, to the competent authorities of the Member States.
2.       Within 30 days of circulation, the Member States may propose amendments to the draft
         decision to the Agency.
3.       If the Agency does not receive any proposals, it shall take the decision in the version
         notified under paragraph 1.
4.       If the Agency receives a proposal for amendment, it may modify the draft decision. The
         Agency shall refer a draft decision, together with any amendments proposed, to the
         Member State Committee within 15 days of the end of the 30-day period referred to in
         paragraph 2.

5.        The Agency shall forthwith communicate any proposal for amendment to any registrants or
          downstream users concerned and allow them to comment within 30 days. The Member
          State Committee shall take any comments received into account.
6.        If, within 60 days of the referral, the Member State Committee reaches a unanimous
          agreement on the draft decision, the Agency shall take the decision accordingly.
7.        If the Member State Committee fails to reach unanimous agreement, the Commission shall
          prepare a draft decision to be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in
          Article 133(3).

1.       Where registrants or downstream users are required to perform a test as a result of a
         decision taken under this Title, those registrants or downstream users shall make every
         effort to reach an agreement as to who is to carry it out on behalf of the other registrants or
         downstream users and to inform the Agency accordingly within 90 days. If the Agency is
         not informed of such agreement within such 90 days, it shall designate one of the
         registrants or downstream users to perform the test on behalf of all of them.
2.       If a registrant or downstream user performs a test on behalf of others, they shall all share
         the cost of that study equally.
3.       In the case referred to in paragraph 1, the registrant or downstream user who performs the
         test shall provide each of the others concerned with a copy of the full study report.
4.       The person performing and submitting the study shall have a claim against the others
         accordingly. Any person concerned shall be able to make a claim in order to prohibit
         another person from manufacturing, importing or placing the substance on the market if
         that other person either fails to pay his share of the cost or to provide security for that
         amount or fails to hand over a copy of the full study report of the study performed. All
         claims shall be enforceable in the national courts. Any person may choose to submit their
         claims for remuneration to an arbitration board and accept the arbitration order.

                       Aim of authorisation and considerations for substitution
The aim of this Title is to ensure the good functioning of the internal market while assuring that the
risks from substances of very high concern are properly controlled and that these substances are
progressively replaced by suitable alternative substances or technologies where these are
economically and technically viable. To this end all manufacturers, importers and downstream users
applying for authorisations shall analyse the availability of alternatives and consider their risks, and

                                  Inclusion of substances in Annex XIV
1.       Whenever a decision is taken to include in Annex XIV substances referred to in Article 57,
         such a decision shall be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in
         Article 133(4). It shall specify for each substance:
         (a)   the identity of the substance as specified in section 2 of Annex VI;
         (b)   the intrinsic property (properties) of the substance referred to in Article 57;
         (c)   transitional arrangements:
               (i)   the date(s) from which the placing on the market and the use of the substance
                     shall be prohibited unless an authorisation is granted (hereinafter referred to as
                     "the sunset date") which should take into account, where appropriate, the
                     production cycle specified for that use;
               (ii)  a date or dates at least 18 months before the sunset date(s) by which
                     applications must be received if the applicant wishes to continue to use the
                     substance or place it on the market for certain uses after the sunset date(s);
                     these continued uses shall be allowed after the sunset date until a decision on
                     the application for authorisation is taken;
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/144          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                    30.12.2006
          (d)    review periods for certain uses, if appropriate;
          (e)    uses or categories of uses exempted from the authorisation requirement, if any, and
                 conditions for such exemptions, if any.
2.        Uses or categories of uses may be exempted from the authorisation requirement provided
          that, on the basis of the existing specific Community legislation imposing minimum
          requirements relating to the protection of human health or the environment for the use of
          the substance, the risk is properly controlled. In the establishment of such exemptions,
          account shall be taken, in particular, of the proportionality of risk to human health and the
          environment related to the nature of the substance, such as where the risk is modified by
          the physical form.
3.        Prior to a decision to include substances in Annex XIV, the Agency shall, taking into
          account the opinion of the Member State Committee, recommend priority substances to be
          included specifying for each substance the items set out in paragraph 1. Priority shall
          normally be given to substances with:
          (a)    PBT or vPvB properties; or
          (b)    wide dispersive use; or
          (c)    high volumes.

         The number of substances included in Annex XIV and the dates specified under
         paragraph 1 shall also take account of the Agency's capacity to handle applications in the
         time provided for. The Agency shall make its first recommendation of priority substances
         to be included in Annex XIV by 1 June 2009. The Agency shall make further
         recommendations at least every second year with a view to including further substances in
         Annex XIV.
4.       Before the Agency sends its recommendation to the Commission it shall make it publicly
         available on its website, clearly indicating the date of publication, taking into account
         Articles 118 and 119 on access to information. The Agency shall invite all interested
         parties to submit comments within three months of the date of publication, in particular on
         uses which should be exempt from the authorisation requirement.
         The Agency shall update its recommendation, taking into account the comments received.
5.       Subject to paragraph 6, after inclusion of a substance in Annex XIV, this substance shall
         not be subjected to new restrictions under the procedure outlined in Title VIII covering the
         risks to human health or the environment from the use of the substance on its own, in a
         preparation or incorporation of a substance in an article arising from the intrinsic properties
         specified in Annex XIV.
6.       A substance listed in Annex XIV may be subjected to new restrictions under the procedure
         outlined in Title VIII covering the risks to human health or the environment from the
         presence of the substance in (an) article(s).

7.        Substances for which all uses have been prohibited under Title VIII or by other
          Community legislation shall not be included in Annex XIV or shall be removed from it.
8.        Substances which as a result of new information no longer meet the criteria of Article 57
          shall be removed from Annex XIV in accordance with the procedure referred to in
          Article 133(4).

          identifying substances meeting the criteria referred to in Article 57 and establishing a
          candidate list for eventual inclusion in Annex XIV. The Agency shall indicate, within this
          list, the substances that are on its work programme according to Article 83(3)(e).
2.        The Commission may ask the Agency to prepare a dossier in accordance with relevant
          sections of Annex XV for substances which in its opinion meet the criteria set out in
          Article 57. The dossier may be limited, if appropriate, to a reference to an entry in Annex I
          of Directive 67/548/EEC. The Agency shall make this dossier available to the Member
          States.

8.        If, within 30 days of the referral, the Member State Committee reaches a unanimous
          agreement on the identification, the Agency shall include the substance in the list referred
          to in paragraph 1. The Agency may include that substance in its recommendations under
          Article 58(3).
9.        If the Member State Committee fails to reach a unanimous agreement, the Commission
          shall prepare a draft proposal on the identification of the substance within three months of
          receipt of the opinion of the Member State Committee. A final decision on the
          identification of the substance shall be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to
          in Article 133(3).

2.       Without prejudice to paragraph 3, an authorisation shall be granted if the risk to human
         health or the environment from the use of a substance arising from the intrinsic properties
         specified in Annex XIV is adequately controlled in accordance with section 6.4 of Annex I
         and as documented in the applicant's chemical safety report, taking into account the
         opinion of the Committee for Risk Assessment referred to in Article 64(4)(a). When
         granting the authorisation, and in any conditions imposed therein, the Commission shall
         take into account all discharges, emissions and losses, including risks arising from diffuse
         or dispersive uses, known at the time of the decision.
         The Commission shall not consider the risks to human health arising from the use of a
         substance in a medical device regulated by Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990
         on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable
         medical devices1, Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical

3.       Paragraph 2 shall not apply to:
         (a)   substances meeting the criteria in Article 57(a), (b), (c) or (f) for which it is not
               possible to determine a threshold in accordance with section 6.4 of Annex I;

          (c)    substances identified under Article 57(f) having persistent, bioaccumulative and
                 toxic properties or very persistent and very bioaccumulative properties.
4.        If an authorisation cannot be granted under paragraph 2 or for substances listed in
          paragraph 3, an authorisation may only be granted if it is shown that socio-economic
          benefits outweigh the risk to human health or the environment arising from the use of the
          substance and if there are no suitable alternative substances or technologies. This decision
          shall be taken after consideration of all of the following elements and taking into account
          the opinions of the Committee for Risk Assessment and the Committee for
          Socio-economic Analysis referred to in Article 64(4)(a) and (b):
          (a)    the risk posed by the uses of the substance, including the appropriateness and
                 effectiveness of the risk management measures proposed;
          (b)    the socio-economic benefits arising from its use and the socio-economic implications
                 of a refusal to authorise as demonstrated by the applicant or other interested parties;
          (c)    the analysis of the alternatives submitted by the applicant under Article 62(4)(e) or
                 any substitution plan submitted by the applicant under Article 62(4)(f), and any
                 third party contributions submitted under Article 64(2);
          (d)    available information on the risks to human health or the environment of any
                 alternative substances or technologies.

5.       When assessing whether suitable alternative substances or technologies are available, all
         relevant aspects shall be taken into account by the Commission, including:
         (a)   whether the transfer to alternatives would result in reduced overall risks to human
               health and the environment, taking into account the appropriateness and effectiveness
               of risk management measures;
         (b)   the technical and economic feasibility of alternatives for the applicant.
6.       A use shall not be authorised if this would constitute a relaxation of a restriction set out in
         Annex XVII.
7.       An authorisation shall be granted only if the application is made in conformity with the
         requirements of Article 62.
8.       Authorisations shall be subject to a time-limited review without prejudice to any decision
         on a future review period and shall normally be subject to conditions, including
         monitoring. The duration of the time-limited review for any authorisation shall be
         determined on a case-by-case basis taking into account all relevant information including
         the elements listed in paragraph 4(a) to (d), as appropriate.
9.        The authorisation shall specify:
         (a)   the person(s) to whom the authorisation is granted;
         (b)   the identity of the substance(s);

          (c)   the use(s) for which the authorisation is granted;
          (d)   any conditions under which the authorisation is granted;
          (e)   the time-limited review period;
          (f)   any monitoring arrangement.
10.       Notwithstanding any conditions of an authorisation, the holder shall ensure that the
          exposure is reduced to as low a level as is technically and practically possible.

1.        Authorisations granted in accordance with Article 60 shall be regarded as valid until the
          Commission decides to amend or withdraw the authorisation in the context of a review,
          provided that the holder of the authorisation submits a review report at least 18 months
          before the expiry of the time-limited review period. Rather than re-submitting all elements
          of the original application for the current authorisation, the holder of an authorisation
          may submit only the number of the current authorisation, subject to the second, third and
          fourth subparagraphs.

         substitution plan submitted under Article 62(4)(f). If the update of the analysis of
         alternatives shows that there is a suitable alternative available taking into account the
         elements in Article 60(5), he shall submit a substitution plan, including a timetable for
         proposed actions by the applicant. If the holder cannot demonstrate that the risk is
         adequately controlled, he shall also submit an update of the socio-economic analysis
         contained in the original application.
         If he can now demonstrate that the risk is adequately controlled, he shall submit an update
         of the chemical safety report.
         If any other elements of the original application have changed, he shall also submit updates
         of these element(s).
         When any updated information is submitted in accordance with this paragraph, any
         decision to amend or withdraw the authorisation in the context of the review shall be taken
         in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 64 applied mutatis mutandis.

2.        Authorisations may be reviewed at any time if:
          (a)    the circumstances of the original authorisation have changed so as to affect the risk
                 to human health or the environment, or the socio-economic impact; or
          (b)    new information on possible substitutes becomes available.
          The Commission shall set a reasonable deadline by which the holder(s) of the authorisation
          may submit further information necessary for the review and indicate by when it will take
          a decision in accordance with Article 64.
3.        In its review decision the Commission may, if circumstances have changed and taking into
          account the principle of proportionality, amend or withdraw the authorisation, if under the
          changed circumstances it would not have been granted or if suitable alternatives in
          accordance with Article 60(5) become available. In the latter case the Commission shall
          require the holder of the authorisation to present a substitution plan if he has not already
          done so as part of his application or update.
          In cases where there is a serious and immediate risk for human health or the environment,
          the Commission may suspend the authorisation pending the review, taking into account the
          principle of proportionality.

4.        If an environmental quality standard referred to in Directive 96/61/EC is not met, the
         authorisations granted for the use of the substance concerned may be reviewed.
5.       If the environmental objectives as referred to in Article 4(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC are
         not met, the authorisations granted for the use of the substance concerned in the relevant
         river basin may be reviewed.
6.       If a use of a substance is subsequently prohibited or otherwise restricted in
         Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
         29 April 2004 on persistent organic pollutants1, the Commission shall withdraw the
         authorisation for that use.

1.       If the Commission considers that the manufacture, placing on the market or use of a
         substance on its own, in a preparation or in an article poses a risk to human health or the
         environment that is not adequately controlled and needs to be addressed, it shall ask the
         Agency to prepare a dossier which conforms to the requirements of Annex XV.
2.       After the date referred to in Article 58(1)(c)(i) for a substance listed in Annex XIV, the
         Agency shall consider whether the use of that substance in articles poses a risk to human
         health or the environment that is not adequately controlled. If the Agency considers that
         the risk is not adequately controlled, it shall prepare a dossier which conforms to the
         requirements of Annex XV.
3.       Within 12 months of the receipt of the request from the Commission in paragraph 1 and if
         this dossier demonstrates that action on a Community-wide basis is necessary, beyond any
         measures already in place, the Agency shall suggest restrictions, in order to initiate the
         restrictions process.

4.        If a Member State considers that the manufacture, placing on the market or use of a
          substance on its own, in a preparation or in an article poses a risk to human health or the
          environment that is not adequately controlled and needs to be addressed it shall notify the
          Agency that it proposes to prepare a dossier which conforms to the requirements of the
          relevant sections of Annex XV. If the substance is not on the list maintained by the Agency
          referred to in paragraph 5 of this Article, the Member State shall prepare a dossier which
          conforms to the requirements of Annex XV within 12 months of the notification to the
          Agency. If this dossier demonstrates that action on a Community-wide basis is necessary,
          beyond any measures already in place, the Member State shall submit it to the Agency in
          the format outlined in Annex XV, in order to initiate the restrictions process.
          The Agency or Member States shall refer to any dossier, chemical safety report or risk
          assessment submitted to the Agency or Member State under this Regulation. The Agency
          or Member States shall also refer to any relevant risk assessment submitted for the
          purposes of other Community Regulations or Directives. To this end other bodies, such as
          agencies, established under Community law and carrying out a similar task shall provide
          information to the Agency or Member State concerned on request.

         appropriate between the Agency and the employer of the person concerned.
         The person concerned, or his employer, shall be remunerated by the Agency in accordance
         with a scale of fees to be included in the financial arrangements established by the
         Management Board. Where the person concerned fails to fulfil his duties, the Executive
         Director has the right to terminate or suspend the contract or withhold remuneration.
4.       The provision of services for which there are several potential providers may require a call
         for an expression of interest:

                                                     Review
1.        By 1 June 2019, the Commission shall carry out a review to assess whether or not to
          extend the application of the obligation to perform a chemical safety assessment and to
          document it in a chemical safety report to substances not covered by this obligation
          because they are not subject to registration or subject to registration but manufactured or
          imported in quantities of less than 10 tonnes per year. However, for substances meeting the
          criteria for classification as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction, category 1
          or 2, in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC, the review shall be carried out by 1 June
          2014. When carrying out the review the Commission shall take into account all relevant
          factors, including:
          (a)    the costs for manufacturers and importers of drawing up the chemical safety reports;
          (b)    the distribution of costs between actors in the supply chain and the downstream user;
          (c)    the benefits for human health and the environment.
          On the basis of these reviews, the Commission may, if appropriate, present legislative
          proposals to extend this obligation.

2.       The Commission may present legislative proposals as soon as a practicable and
         cost-efficient way of selecting polymers for registration on the basis of sound technical and
         valid scientific criteria can be established, and after publishing a report on the following:
         (a)    the risks posed by polymers in comparison with other substances;
         (b)    the need, if any, to register certain types of polymer, taking account of
                competitiveness and innovation on the one hand and the protection of human health
                and the environment on the other.
3.       The report, referred to in Article 117(4), on the experience acquired with the operation of
         this Regulation shall include a review of the requirements relating to registration of
         substances manufactured or imported only in quantities starting at 1 tonne but less than
         10 tonnes per year per manufacturer or importer. On the basis of that review, the
         Commission may present legislative proposals to modify the information requirements for
         substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or more up to 10 tonnes
         per year per manufacturer or importer, taking into account the latest developments, for
         example in relation to alternative testing and (quantitative) structure-activity
         relationships ((Q)SARs).
4.       The Commission shall carry out a review of Annexes I, IV and V by 1 June 2008, with a
         view to proposing amendments, if appropriate, to them in accordance with the procedure
         referred to in Article 131.

5.        The Commission shall carry out a review of Annex XIII by 1 December 2008, to assess the
          adequacy of the criteria for identifying substances which are persistent, bioaccumulative
          and toxic or very persistent and very bioaccumulative, with a view to proposing an
          amendment to it, if appropriate, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article
          133(4).
6.        By 1 June 2012 the Commission shall carry out a review to assess whether or not to amend
          the scope of this Regulation to avoid overlaps with other relevant Community provisions.
          On the basis of that review, the Commission may, if appropriate, present a legislative
          proposal.
7.        By 1 June 2013 the Commission shall carry out a review to assess whether or not, taking
          into account latest developments in scientific knowledge, to extend the scope of Article
          60(3) to substances identified under Article 57(f) as having endocrine disrupting
          properties. On the basis of that review the Commission may, if appropriate, present
          legislative proposals.
8.        By 1 June 2019, the Commission shall carry out a review to assess whether or not to
          extend the scope of Article 33 to cover other dangerous substances, taking into account the
          practical experience in implementing that Article. On the basis of that review, the
          Commission may, if appropriate, present legislative proposals to extend that obligation.
9.        In accordance with the objective of promoting non-animal testing and the replacement,
          reduction or refinement of animal testing required under this Regulation, the Commission
          shall review the testing requirements of Section 8.7 of Annex VIII by 1 June 2019. On the
          basis of this review, while ensuring a high level of protection of health and the
          environment, the Commission may propose an amendment in accordance with the
          procedure referred to in Article 133(4).

                                                 ANNEX I
                    GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR ASSESSING SUBSTANCES
                         AND PREPARING CHEMICAL SAFETY REPORTS
0.       INTRODUCTION
0.1.     The purpose of this Annex is to set out how manufacturers and importers are to assess and
         document that the risks arising from the substance they manufacture or import are
         adequately controlled during manufacture and their own use(s) and that others further
         down the supply chain can adequately control the risks. This Annex shall also apply
         adapted as necessary to producers and importers of articles required to make a chemical
         safety assessment as part of a registration.
0.2.      The chemical safety assessment shall be prepared by one or more competent person(s) who
         have appropriate experience and received appropriate training, including refresher training.
0.3.     The chemical safety assessment of a manufacturer shall address the manufacture of a
         substance and all the identified uses. The chemical safety assessment of an importer shall
         address all identified uses. The chemical safety assessment shall consider the use of the
         substance on its own (including any major impurities and additives), in a preparation and
         in an article, as defined by the identified uses. The assessment shall consider all stages of
         the life-cycle of the substance resulting from the manufacture and identified uses. The
         chemical safety assessment shall be based on a comparison of the potential adverse effects
         of a substance with the known or reasonably foreseeable exposure of man and/or the
         environment to that substance taking into account implemented and recommended risk
         management measures and operational conditions.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/238         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                      30.12.2006
0.4.      Substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are
          likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be
          considered as a group, or "category" of substances. If the manufacturer or importer
          considers that the chemical safety assessment carried out for one substance is sufficient to
          assess and document that the risks arising from another substance or from a group or
          "category" of substances are adequately controlled then he can use that chemical safety
          assessment for the other substance or group or "category" of substances. The manufacturer
          or importer shall provide a justification for this.
0.5.      The chemical safety assessment shall be based on the information on the substance
          contained in the technical dossier and on other available and relevant information.
          Manufacturers or importers submitting a proposal for testing in accordance with
          Annexes IX and X shall record this under the relevant heading of the chemical safety
          report. Available information from assessments carried out under other international and
          national programmes shall be included. Where available and appropriate, an assessment
          carried out under Community legislation (e.g. risk assessments completed under
          Regulation (EEC) No 793/93) shall be taken into account in the development of, and
          reflected in, the chemical safety report. Deviations from such assessments shall be
          justified.
          Thus the information to be considered includes information related to the hazards of the
          substance, the exposure arising from the manufacture or import, the identified uses of the
          substance, operational conditions and risk management measures applied or recommended
          to downstream users to be taken into account.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/239
         In accordance with section 3 of Annex XI in some cases, it may not be necessary to
         generate missing information, because risk management measures and operational
         conditions which are necessary to control a well-characterised risk may also be sufficient
         to control other potential risks, which will not therefore need to be characterised precisely.
         If the manufacturer or importer considers that further information is necessary for
         producing his chemical safety report and that this information can only be obtained by
         performing tests in accordance with Annex IX or X, he shall submit a proposal for a testing
         strategy, explaining why he considers that additional information is necessary and record
         this in the chemical safety report under the appropriate heading. While waiting for results
         of further testing, he shall record in his chemical safety report, and include in the exposure
         scenario developed, the interim risk management measures that he has put in place and
         those he recommends to downstream users intended to manage the risks being explored.
0.6.     A chemical safety assessment performed by a manufacturer or an importer for a substance
         shall include the following steps in accordance with the respective sections of this Annex:
         1.     Human health hazard assessment
         2.     Human health hazard assessment of physicochemical properties
         3.     Environmental hazard assessment
         4.     PBT and vPvB assessment
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/240          EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
          If as a result of steps 1 to 4 the manufacturer or importer concludes that the substance or
          the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to
          Directive 67/548/EEC or Directive 1999/45/EC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB, the
          chemical safety assessment shall also consider the following steps:
          5.     Exposure assessment
                 5.1. The generation of exposure scenario(s) or the generation of relevant use and
                       exposure categories if appropriate
                 5.2. Exposure estimation
          6.     Risk characterisation
          A summary of all the relevant information used in addressing the points above, shall be
          presented under the relevant heading of the Chemical Safety Report (Section 7).
0.7.      The main element of the exposure part of the chemical safety report is the description of
          the exposure scenario(s) implemented for the manufacturer's production, the manufacturer
          or importer's own use, and those recommended by the manufacturer or importer to be
          implemented for the identified use(s).
          An exposure scenario is the set of conditions that describe how the substance is
          manufactured or used during its life-cycle and how the manufacturer or importer controls,
          or recommends downstream users to control, exposures of humans and the environment.
          These sets of conditions contain a description of both the risk management measures and
          operational conditions which the manufacturer or importer has implemented or
          recommends to be implemented by downstream users.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                  Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/241
         If the substance is placed on the market, the relevant exposure scenario(s), including the
         risk management measures and operational conditions shall be included in an annex to the
         safety data sheet in accordance with Annex II.
0.8.      The level of detail required in describing an exposure scenario will vary substantially from
         case to case, depending on the use of a substance, its hazardous properties and the amount
         of information available to the manufacturer or importer. Exposure scenarios may describe
         the appropriate risk management measures for several individual processes or uses of a
         substance. An exposure scenario may thereby cover a large range of processes or uses.
         Exposure scenarios covering a wide range of processes or uses may be referred to as
         Exposure Categories. Further mention of Exposure Scenario in this Annex and Annex II
         includes Exposure Categories if they are developed.
0.9.     Where information is not necessary in accordance with Annex XI, this fact shall be stated
         under the appropriate heading of the chemical safety report and a reference shall be made
         to the justification in the technical dossier. The fact that no information is required shall
         also be stated in the safety data sheet.
0.10.    In relation to particular effects, such as ozone depletion, photochemical ozone creation
         potential, strong odour and tainting, for which the procedures set out in sections 1 to 6 are
         impracticable, the risks associated with such effects shall be assessed on a case-by-case
         basis and the manufacturer or importer shall include a full description and justification of
         such assessments in the chemical safety report and summarised in the safety data sheet.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/242         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
0.11.     When assessing the risk of the use of one or more substances incorporated into a special
          preparation (for instance alloys), the way the constituent substances are bonded in the
          chemical matrix shall be taken into account.
0.12.     Where the methodology described in this Annex is not appropriate, details of alternative
          methodology used shall be explained and justified in the chemical safety report.
0.13.     Part A of the chemical safety report shall include a declaration that the risk management
          measures outlined in the relevant exposure scenarios for the manufacturer's or importer's
          own use(s) are implemented by the manufacturer or importer and that those exposure
          scenarios for the identified uses are communicated to distributors and downstream users in
          the safety data sheet(s).
1.        HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT
1.0.      Introduction
1.0.1.    The objective of the human health hazard assessment shall be:
          –     to determine the classification and labelling of a substance in accordance with
                Directive 67/548/EEC; and
          –     to derive levels of exposure to the substance above which humans should not be
                exposed. This level of exposure is known as the Derived No-Effect Level (DNEL).
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/243
1.0.2.    The human health hazard assessment shall consider the toxicokinetic profile
         (i.e. absorption, metabolism, distribution and elimination) of the substance and the
         following groups of effects, (1) acute effects (acute toxicity, irritation and corrosivity),
         (2) sensitisation, (3) repeated dose toxicity and (4) CMR effects (carcinogenity,
         mutagenicity and toxicity for reproduction). Based on all the available information, other
         effects shall be considered when necessary.
1.0.3.    The hazard assessment shall comprise the following four steps:
         Step 1:         Evaluation of non-human information
         Step 2:         Evaluation of human information
         Step 3:         Classification and Labelling
         Step 4:         Derivation of DNELs
1.0.4.    The first three steps shall be undertaken for every effect for which information is available
         and shall be recorded under the relevant section of the Chemical Safety Report and where
         required and in accordance with Article 31, summarised in the Safety Data Sheet under
         headings 2 and 11.
1.0.5.   For any effect for which no relevant information is available, the relevant section shall
         contain the sentence "This information is not available". The justification, including
         reference to any literature search carried out, shall be included in the technical dossier.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/244          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                       30.12.2006
1.0.6.    Step 4 of the human health hazard assessment shall be undertaken by integrating the results
          from the first three steps and shall be included under the relevant heading of the Chemical
          Safety Report and summarised in the Safety Data Sheet under heading 8.1.
1.1.      Step 1:        Evaluation of non-human information
1.1.1.    The evaluation of non-human information shall comprise:
          –      the hazard identification for the effect based on all available non-human information;
          –      the establishment of the quantitative dose (concentration) – response (effect)
                 relationship.
1.1.2.    When it is not possible to establish the quantitative dose (concentration) – response (effect)
          relationship, then this should be justified and a semi-quantitative or qualitative analysis
          shall be included. For instance, for acute effects it is usually not possible to establish the
          quantitative dose (concentration) – response (effect) relationship on the basis of the results
          of a test conducted in accordance with test methods laid down in a Commission Regulation
          as specified in Article 13(3). In such cases it suffices to determine whether and to which
          degree the substance has an inherent capacity to cause the effect.
1.1.3.    All non-human information used to assess a particular effect on humans and to establish
          the dose (concentration) – response (effect) relationship, shall be briefly presented, if
          possible in the form of a table or tables, distinguishing between in vitro, in vivo and other
          information. The relevant test results (e.g. LD50, NO(A)EL or LO(A)EL) and test
          conditions (e.g. test duration, route of administration) and other relevant information shall
          be presented, in internationally recognised units of measurement for that effect.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/245
1.1.4.   If one study is available then a robust study summary should be prepared for that study. If
         there are several studies addressing the same effect, then, having taken into account
         possible variables (e.g. conduct, adequacy, relevance of test species, quality of
         results, etc.), normally the study or studies giving rise to the highest concern shall be used
         to establish the DNELs and a robust study summary shall be prepared for that study or
         studies and included as part of the technical dossier. Robust summaries will be required of
         all key data used in the hazard assessment. If the study or studies giving rise to the highest
         concern are not used, then this shall be fully justified and included as part of the technical
         dossier, not only for the study being used but also for all studies demonstrating a higher
         concern than the study being used. It is important irrespective of whether hazards have
         been identified or not that the validity of the study be considered.
1.2.     Step 2:         Evaluation of human information
         If no human information is available, this part shall contain the statement "No human
         information is available". However, if human information is available, it shall be presented,
         if possible in the form of a table.
1.3.     Step 3:         Classification and Labelling
1.3.1.   The appropriate classification and labelling developed in accordance with the criteria in
         Directive 67/548/EEC shall be presented and justified. Where applicable Specific
         Concentration limits, resulting from the application of Article 4(4) of
         Directive 67/548/EEC and Articles 4 to 7 of Directive 1999/45/EC, shall be presented and,
         if they are not included in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, justified. The assessment
         should always include a statement as to whether the substance fulfils or does not fulfil the
         criteria given in Directive 67/548/EEC for CMR, categories 1 and 2.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/246          EN               Official Journal of the European Union                       30.12.2006
1.3.2.    If the information is inadequate to decide whether a substance should be classified for a
          particular end-point, the registrant shall indicate and justify the action or decision he has
          taken as a result.
1.4.      Step 4: Identification of DNEL(s)
1.4.1.    Based on the outcomes of steps 1 and 2, (a) DNEL(s) shall be established for the
          substance, reflecting the likely route(s), duration and frequency of exposure. For some
          endpoints, especially mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, the available information may not
          enable a threshold, and therefore a DNEL, to be established. If justified by the exposure
          scenario(s), a single DNEL may be sufficient. However, taking into account the available
          information and the exposure scenario(s) in Section 9 of the Chemical Safety Report it may
          be necessary to identify different DNELs for each relevant human population
          (e.g. workers, consumers and humans liable to exposure indirectly via the environment)
          and possibly for certain vulnerable sub-populations (e.g. children, pregnant women) and
          for different routes of exposure. A full justification shall be given specifying, inter alia, the
          choice of the information used, the route of exposure (oral, dermal, inhalation) and the
          duration and frequency of exposure to the substance for which the DNEL is valid. If more
          than one route of exposure is likely to occur, then a DNEL shall be established for each
          route of exposure and for the exposure from all routes combined. When establishing
          the DNEL, the following factors shall, inter alia, be taken into account:
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006          EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                     L 396/247
         (a)      the uncertainty arising, among other factors, from the variability in the experimental
                  information and from intra- and inter-species variation;
         (b)      the nature and severity of the effect;
         (c)      the sensitivity of the human (sub-)population to which the quantitative and/or
                  qualitative information on exposure applies.
1.4.2.    If it is not possible to identify a DNEL, then this shall be clearly stated and fully justified.
2.       PHYSICOCHEMICAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT
2.1.     The objective of the hazard assessment for physicochemical properties shall be to
         determine the classification and labelling of a substance in accordance with
         Directive 67/548/EEC.
2.2.     As a minimum, the potential effects to human health shall be assessed for the following
         physicochemical properties:
         –        explosivity,
         –        flammability,
         –        oxidising potential.
         If the information are inadequate to decide whether a substance should be classified for a
         particular end-point, the registrant shall indicate and justify the action or decision he has
         taken as a result.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/248         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                  30.12.2006
2.3.      The assessment of each effect shall be presented under the relevant heading of the
          Chemical Safety Report (Section 7) and where required and in accordance with Article 31,
          summarised in the Safety Data Sheet under headings 2 and 9.
2.4.      For every physicochemical property, the assessment shall entail an evaluation of the
          inherent capacity of the substance to cause the effect resulting from the manufacture and
          identified uses.
2.5.      The appropriate classification and labelling developed in accordance with the criteria in
          Directive 67/548/EEC shall be presented and justified.
3.        ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT
3.0.      Introduction
3.0.1.    The objective of the environmental hazard assessment shall be to determine the
          classification and labelling of a substance in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC and to
          identify the concentration of the substance below which adverse effects in the
          environmental sphere of concern are not expected to occur. This concentration is known as
          the Predicted No-Effect Concentration (PNEC).
3.0.2.    The environmental hazard assessment shall consider the potential effects on the
          environment, comprising the (1) aquatic (including sediment), (2) terrestrial and
          (3) atmospheric compartments, including the potential effects that may occur (4) via
          food-chain accumulation. In addition, the potential effects on the (5) microbiological
          activity of sewage treatment systems shall be considered. The assessment of the effects on
          each of these five environmental spheres shall be presented under the relevant heading of
          the Chemical Safety Report (Section 7) and where required and in accordance with
          Article 31, summarised in the Safety Data Sheet under headings 2 and 12.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/249
3.0.3.    For any environmental sphere, for which no effect information is available, the relevant
         section of the chemical safety report shall contain the sentence "This information is not
         available". The justification, including reference to any literature research carried out, shall
         be included in the technical dossier. For any environmental sphere for which information is
         available, but the manufacturer or importer believes that it is not necessary to conduct the
         hazard assessment, the manufacturer or importer shall present a justification, with
         reference to pertinent information, under the relevant heading of the Chemical Safety
         Report (Section 7) and where required and in accordance with Article 31, summarised in
         the Safety Data Sheet under heading 12.
3.0.4.    The hazard assessment shall comprise the following three steps, which shall be clearly
         identified as such in the Chemical Safety Report:
         Step 1:        Evaluation of information
         Step 2:        Classification and Labelling
         Step 3:        Derivation of the PNEC.
3.1.     Step 1:        Evaluation of information
3.1.1.    The evaluation of all available information shall comprise:
         –      the hazard identification based on all available information,
         –      the establishment of the quantitative dose (concentration) – response (effect)
                relationship.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/250          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      30.12.2006
3.1.2.    When it is not possible to establish the quantitative dose (concentration) – response (effect)
          relationship, then this should be justified and a semi-quantitative or qualitative analysis
          shall be included.
3.1.3.    All information used to assess the effects on a specific environmental sphere shall be
          briefly presented, if possible in the form of a table or tables. The relevant test results
          (e.g. LC50 or NOEC) and test conditions (e.g. test duration, route of administration) and
          other relevant information shall be presented, in internationally recognised units of
          measurement for that effect.
3.1.4.    All information used to assess the environmental fate of the substance shall be briefly
          presented, if possible in the form of a table or tables. The relevant test results and test
          conditions and other relevant information shall be presented, in internationally recognised
          units of measurement for that effect.
3.1.5.    If one study is available then a robust study summary should be prepared for that study.
          Where there are more than one studies addressing the same effect, then the study or studies
          giving rise to the highest concern shall be used to draw a conclusion and a robust study
          summary shall be prepared for that study or studies and included as part of the technical
          dossier. Robust summaries will be required of all key data used in the hazard assessment.
          If the study or studies giving rise to the highest concern are not used, then this shall be
          fully justified and included as part of the technical dossier, not only for the study being
          used but also for all studies reaching a higher concern than the study being used. For
          substances where all available studies indicate no hazards an overall assessment of the
          validity of all studies should be performed.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006          EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/251
3.2.      Step 2:         Classification and Labelling
3.2.1.    The appropriate classification and labelling developed in accordance with the criteria in
          Directive 67/548/EEC shall be presented and justified. Where applicable Specific
          Concentration limits, resulting from the application of Article 4(4) of
          Directive 67/548/EEC and Articles 4 to 7 of Directive 1999/45/EC, shall be presented and,
          if they are not included in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, justified.
3.2.2.    If the information are inadequate to decide whether a substance should be classified for a
          particular end-point, the registrant shall indicate and justify the action or decision he has
          taken as a result.
3.3.      Step 3:         Identification of the PNEC
3.3.1.    Based on the available information, the PNEC for each environmental sphere shall be
          established. The PNEC may be calculated by applying an appropriate assessment factor to
          the effect values (e.g. LC50 or NOEC). An assessment factor expresses the difference
          between effects values derived for a limited number of species from laboratory tests and
          the PNEC for the environmental sphere1.
3.3.2.    If it is not possible to derive the PNEC, then this shall be clearly stated and fully justified.
1
        In general, the more extensive the data and the longer the duration of the tests, the smaller is
        the degree of uncertainty and the size of the assessment factor. An assessment factor
        of 1 000 is typically applied to the lowest of three short term L(E)C50 values derived from
        species representing different trophic levels and a factor of 10 to the lowest of three
        long-term NOEC values derived from species representing different trophic levels.

4.        PBT AND VPVB ASSESSMENT
4.0.      Introduction
4.0.1.    The objective of the PBT and vPvB assessment shall be to determine if the substance
          fulfils the criteria given in Annex XIII and if so, to characterise the potential emissions of
          the substance. A hazard assessment in accordance with Sections 1 and 3 of this Annex
          addressing all the long-term effects and the estimation of the long-term exposure of
          humans and the environment as carried out in accordance with Section 5 (Exposure
          Assessment), step 2 (Exposure Estimation), cannot be carried out with sufficient reliability
          for substances satisfying the PBT and vPvB criteria in Annex XIII. Therefore, a separate
          PBT and vPvB assessment is required.
4.0.2.    The PBT and vPvB assessment shall comprise the following two steps, which shall be
          clearly identified as such in Part B, Section 8 of the Chemical Safety Report:
          Step 1:         Comparison with the Criteria
          Step 2:         Emission Characterisation
          The assessment shall also be summarised in the Safety Data Sheet under heading 12.
4.1.      Step 1:         Comparison with the Criteria
          This part of the PBT and vPvB assessment shall entail the comparison of the available
          information, which is submitted as part of the technical dossier, with the criteria given in
          Annex XIII and a statement of whether the substance fulfils or does not fulfil the criteria.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     L 396/253
         If the available information is not sufficient to decide whether the substance fulfils the
         criteria in Annex XIII, then other evidence like monitoring data available for the registrant
         and giving rise to an equivalent level of concern shall be considered on a case-by-case
         basis.
         If the technical dossier contains for one or more endpoints only information as required in
         Annexes VII and VIII, the registrant shall consider information relevant for screening
         for P, B and T properties to decide whether further information needs to be generated to
         fulfil the objective of the PBT and vPvB assessment. In case the generation of further
         information is necessary and would require testing on vertebrate animals, the registrant
         shall submit a testing proposal. However, such further information does not need to be
         generated if the registrant implements or recommends sufficient risk management
         measures and operational conditions that enable derogation according to Section 3 of
         Annex XI from testing relevant for PBT and vPvB assessment.
4.2.     Step 2:        Emission Characterisation
         If the substance fulfils the criteria an emission characterisation shall be conducted
         comprising the relevant parts of the exposure assessment as described in Section 5. In
         particular it shall contain an estimation of the amounts of the substance released to the
         different environmental compartments during all activities carried out by the manufacturer
         or importer and all identified uses, and an identification of the likely routes by which
         humans and the environment are exposed to the substance.

5.        EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT
5.0.      Introduction
          The objective of the exposure assessment shall be to make a quantitative or qualitative
          estimate of the dose/concentration of the substance to which humans and the environment
          are or may be exposed. The assessment shall consider all stages of the life-cycle of the
          substance resulting from the manufacture and identified uses and shall cover any exposures
          that may relate to the hazards identified in sections 1 to 4. The exposure assessment shall
          entail the following two steps, which shall be clearly identified as such in the Chemical
          Safety Report:
          Step 1:      Generation of exposure scenario(s) or the generation of relevant use and
                       exposure categories
          Step 2:      Exposure Estimation.
          Where required and in accordance with Article 31, the exposure scenario shall also be
          included in an annex to the Safety Data Sheet.
5.1.      Step 1:        Development of exposure scenarios
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/255
5.1.1.    Exposure scenarios as described in sections 0.7 and 0.8 shall be generated. Exposure
         scenarios are the core of the process to carry out a chemical safety assessment. The
         chemical safety assessment process may be iterative. The first assessment will be based on
         the required minimum and all available hazard information and on the exposure estimation
         that corresponds to the initial assumptions about the operating conditions and risk
         management measures (an initial exposure scenario). If the initial assumptions lead to a
         risk characterisation indicating that risks to human health and the environment are not
         adequately controlled, then it is necessary to carry out an iterative process with amendment
         of one or a number of factors in hazard or exposure assessment with the aim to
         demonstrate adequate control. The refinement of hazard assessment may require
         generation of additional hazard information. The refinement of exposure assessment may
         involve appropriate alteration of the operational conditions or risk management measures
         in the exposure scenario or more precise exposure estimation. The exposure scenario,
         resulting from the final iteration (a final exposure scenario), shall be included in the
         chemical safety report and attached to the safety data sheet in accordance with Article 31.
         The final exposure scenario shall be presented under the relevant heading of the chemical
         safety report, and included in an annex to the safety data sheet, using an appropriate short
         title giving a brief general description of the use, consistent with those given in Section 3.5
         of Annex VI. Exposure scenarios shall cover any manufacture in the Community and all
         identified uses.
         In particular, an exposure scenario includes, where relevant, a description of:
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/256         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
          Operational conditions
          –     the processes involved, including the physical form in which the substance is
                manufactured, processed and/or used,
          –     the activities of workers related to the processes and the duration and frequency of
                their exposure to the substance,
          –     the activities of consumers and the duration and frequency of their exposure to the
                substance,
          –     the duration and frequency of emissions of the substance to the different
                environmental compartments and sewage treatment systems and the dilution in the
                receiving environmental compartment.
          Risk management measures
          –     the risk management measures to reduce or avoid direct and indirect exposure of
                humans (including workers and consumers) and the different environmental
                compartments to the substance,
          –     the waste management measures to reduce or avoid exposure of humans and the
                environment to the substance during waste disposal and/or recycling.
5.1.2.    Where a manufacturer, importer or downstream user applies for an application for an
          authorisation for a specific use, exposure scenarios need only be developed for that use and
          the subsequent life-cycle steps.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                     L 396/257
5.2.     Step 2:        Exposure Estimation
5.2.1.    The exposure shall be estimated for each exposure scenario developed and shall be
         presented under the relevant heading of the Chemical Safety Report and where required
         and in accordance with Article 31, summarised in an annex to the safety data sheet. The
         exposure estimation entails three elements: (1) emission estimation; (2) assessment of
         chemical fate and pathways; and (3) estimation of exposure levels.
5.2.2.    The emission estimation shall consider the emissions during all relevant parts of the
         life-cycle of the substance resulting from the manufacture and each of the identified uses.
         The life-cycle stages resulting from the manufacture of the substance cover, where
         relevant, the waste stage. The life-cycle stages resulting from identified uses cover, where
         relevant, the service-life of articles and the waste stage. The emission estimation shall be
         performed under the assumption that the risk management measures and operational
         conditions described in the exposure scenario have been implemented.
5.2.3.   A characterisation of possible degradation, transformation, or reaction processes and an
         estimation of environmental distribution and fate shall be performed.
5.2.4.    An estimation of the exposure levels shall be performed for all human populations
         (workers, consumers and humans liable to exposure indirectly via the environment) and
         environmental spheres for which exposure to the substance is known or reasonably
         foreseeable. Each relevant route of human exposure (inhalation, oral, dermal and combined
         through all relevant routes and sources of exposure) shall be addressed. Such estimations
         shall take account of spatial and temporal variations in the exposure pattern. In particular,
         the exposure estimation shall take account of:
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/258     EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
          – adequately measured, representative exposure data,
          – any major impurities and additives in the substance,
          – the quantity in which the substance is produced and/or imported,
          – the quantity for each identified use,
          – implemented or recommended risk management, including the degree of
            containment,
          – duration and frequency of exposure according to the operational conditions,
          – the activities of workers related to the processes and the duration and frequency of
            their exposure to the substance,
          – the activities of consumers and the duration and frequency of their exposure to the
            substance,
          – the duration and frequency of emissions of the substance to the different
            environmental compartments and the dilution in the receiving environmental
            compartment,
          – the physicochemical properties of the substance,
          – transformation and/or degradation products,
          – the likely routes of exposure of and potential for absorption in humans,
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN               Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/259
         –      the likely pathways to the environment and environmental distribution and
                degradation and/or transformation (see also Section 3 Step 1),
         –      scale (geographical) of exposure,
         –      matrix dependent release/migration of the substance.
5.2.5.    Where adequately measured representative exposure data are available, special
         consideration shall be given to them when conducting the exposure assessment.
         Appropriate models can be used for the estimation of exposure levels. Relevant monitoring
         data from substances with analogous use and exposure patterns or analogous properties can
         also be considered.
6.       RISK CHARACTERISATION
6.1.      The risk characterisation shall be carried out for each exposure scenario and shall be
         presented under the relevant heading of the Chemical Safety Report.
6.2.     The risk characterisation shall consider the human populations (exposed as workers,
         consumers or indirectly via the environment and if relevant a combination thereof) and the
         environmental spheres for which exposure to the substance is known or reasonably
         foreseeable, under the assumption that the risk management measures described in the
         exposure scenarios in the Section 5 have been implemented. In addition, the overall
         environmental risk caused by the substance shall be reviewed by integrating the results for
         the overall releases, emissions and losses from all sources to all environmental
         compartments.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/260         EN                Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
6.3.      The risk characterisation consists of:
          –     a comparison of the exposure of each human population known to be or likely to be
                exposed with the appropriate DNEL,
          –     a comparison of the predicted environmental concentrations in each environmental
                sphere with the PNECs, and
          –     an assessment of the likelihood and severity of an event occurring due to the
                physicochemical properties of the substance.
6.4.      For any exposure scenario, the risk to humans and the environment can be considered to be
          adequately controlled, throughout the lifecycle of the substance that results from
          manufacture or identified uses, if:
          –     the exposure levels estimated in Section 6.2 do not exceed the appropriate DNEL or
                the PNEC, as determined in Sections 1 and 3, respectively, and,
          –     the likelihood and severity of an event occurring due to the physicochemical
                properties of the substance as determined in Section 2 is negligible.
6.5.      For those human effects and those environmental spheres for which it was not possible to
          determine a DNEL or a PNEC, a qualitative assessment of the likelihood that effects are
          avoided when implementing the exposure scenario shall be carried out.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                   L 396/261
         For substances satisfying the PBT and vPvB criteria, the manufacturer or importer shall
         use the information as obtained in Section 5, Step 2 when implementing on its site, and
         recommending for downstream users, risk management measures which minimise
         exposures and emissions to humans and the environment, throughout the lifecycle of the
         substance that results from manufacture or identified uses.

                                                ANNEX II
                  GUIDE TO THE COMPILATION OF SAFETY DATA SHEETS
This Annex sets out the requirements for a Safety Data Sheet that is provided for a substance or a
preparation in accordance with Article 31. The Safety Data Sheet provides a mechanism for
transmitting appropriate safety information on classified substances and preparations, including
information from the relevant Chemical Safety Report(s) down the supply chain to the immediate
downstream user(s). The information provided in the Safety Data Sheet shall be consistent with the
information in the Chemical Safety Report, where one is required. Where a Chemical Safety Report
has been performed, the relevant exposure scenario(s) shall be placed into an annex of the Safety
Data Sheet, to make reference to them under the relevant headings of the Safety Data Sheet easier.
The purpose of this Annex is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the content of each of the
mandatory headings listed in Article 31, so that the resulting Safety Data Sheets will enable users to
take the necessary measures relating to protection of human health and safety at the workplace, and
protection of the environment.
The information provided by Safety Data Sheets shall also meet the requirements set out in
Directive 98/24/EC on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to
chemical agents at work. In particular, the Safety Data Sheet shall enable the employer to determine
whether any hazardous chemical agents are present in the workplace, and to assess any risk to the
health and safety of workers arising from their use.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/268         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
The information in the Safety Data Sheet shall be written in a clear and concise manner. The Safety
Data Sheet shall be prepared by a competent person who shall take into account the specific needs
of the user audience, as far as it is known. Persons placing substances and preparations on the
market shall ensure that competent persons have received appropriate training, including refresher
training.
For preparations not classified as dangerous, but for which a Safety Data Sheet is required
according to Article 31, proportionate information shall be provided under each heading.
Additional information may be necessary in some cases in view of the wide range of properties of
the substances and preparations. If in other cases it emerges that information on certain properties is
of no significance or that it is technically impossible to provide, the reasons for this shall be clearly
stated under each heading. Information shall be provided for each hazardous property. If it is stated
that a particular hazard does not apply, clearly differentiate between cases where no information is
available to the classifier, and cases where negative test results are available.
Give the date of issue of the Safety Data Sheet on the first page. When a safety data sheet has been
revised, the changes shall be brought to the attention of the recipient and identify it as
"Revision: (date)".
Note
Safety data sheets are also required for certain special substances and preparations (e.g. metals in
massive form, alloys, compressed gases, etc.) listed in chapters 8 and 9 of Annex VI to
Directive 67/548/EEC, for which there are labelling derogations.

1.       IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE/PREPARATION AND OF THE
         COMPANY/UNDERTAKING
1.1.     Identification of the substance or preparation
         The term used for identification shall be identical to that provided on the label as set out in
         Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC.
         For substances subject to registration, the term shall be consistent with that provided under
         registration and the registration number assigned under Article 20(1) of this Regulation
         shall also be indicated.
         Other means of identification available may also be indicated.
1.2.     Use of the substance/preparation
         Indicate the uses of the substance or preparation as far as they are known. Where there are
         many possible uses, only the most important or common uses need to be listed. This shall

               INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 10
                                           GUIDANCE NOTE
                 ON FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANNEXES VI TO XI
Annexes VI to XI specify the information that shall be submitted for registration and evaluation
purposes according to Articles 10, 12, 13, 40, 41 and 46. For the lowest tonnage level, the standard
requirements are in Annex VII, and every time a new tonnage level is reached, the requirements of
the corresponding Annex have to be added. For each registration the precise information
requirements will differ, according to tonnage, use and exposure. The Annexes shall thus be
considered as a whole, and in conjunction with the overall requirements of registration, evaluation
and the duty of care.
STEP 1 – GATHER AND SHARE EXISTING INFORMATION
The registrant should gather all existing available test data on the substance to be registered, this
would include a literature search for relevant information on the substance. Wherever practicable,
registrations should be submitted jointly, in accordance with Articles 11 or 19. This will enable test
data to be shared, thereby avoiding unnecessary testing and reducing costs. The registrant should
also collect all other available and relevant information on the substance regardless whether testing
for a given endpoint is required or not at the specific tonnage level. This should include information
from alternative sources (e.g. from (Q)SARs, read-across from other substances, in vivo and in vitro
testing, epidemiological data) which may assist in identifying the presence or absence of hazardous
properties of the substance and which can in certain cases replace the results of animal tests.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/307
In addition, information on exposure, use and risk management measures in accordance with
Article 10 and this Annex should be collected. Considering all this information together, the
registrant will be able to determine the need to generate further information.
STEP 2 – CONSIDER INFORMATION NEEDS
The registrant shall identify what information is required for the registration. First, the relevant
Annex or Annexes to be followed shall be identified, according to tonnage. These Annexes set out
the standard information requirements, but shall be considered in conjunction with Annex XI,
which allows variation from the standard approach, where it can be justified. In particular,
information on exposure, use and risk management measures shall be considered at this stage in
order to determine the information needs for the substance.
STEP 3 – IDENTIFY INFORMATION GAPS
The registrant shall then compare the information needs for the substance with the information
already available and identify where there are gaps. It is important at this stage to ensure that the
available data is relevant and has sufficient quality to fulfil the requirements.
STEP 4 – GENERATE NEW DATA/PROPOSE TESTING STRATEGY
In some cases it will not be necessary to generate new data. However, where there is an information
gap that needs to be filled, new data shall be generated (Annexes VII and VIII), or a testing strategy
shall be proposed (Annexes IX and X), depending on the tonnage. New tests on vertebrates shall
only be conducted or proposed as a last resort when all other data sources have been exhausted.
In some cases, the rules set out in Annexes VII to XI may require certain tests to be undertaken
earlier than or in addition to the standard requirements.

NOTES
Note 1: If it is not technically possible, or if it does not appear scientifically necessary to give
information, the reasons shall be clearly stated, in accordance with the relevant provisions.
Note 2: The registrant may wish to declare that certain information submitted in the registration
dossier is commercially sensitive and its disclosure might harm him commercially. If this is the
case, he shall list the items and provide a justification.

Column 1 of this Annex establishes the standard information required for:
(a)       non-phase-in substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 to 10 tonnes;
(b)       phase-in substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 to 10 tonnes and meeting
          the criteria in Annex III in accordance with Article 12(1)(a) and (b); and
(c)       substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 10 tonnes or more.
Any other relevant physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological information that is
available shall be provided. For substances not meeting the criteria in Annex III only the
physicochemical requirements as set out in section 7 of this Annex are required.
Column 2 of this Annex lists specific rules according to which the required standard information
may be omitted, replaced by other information, provided at a different stage or adapted in another
way. If the conditions are met under which column 2 of this Annex allows adaptations, the
registrant shall clearly state this fact and the reasons for each adaptation under the appropriate
headings in the registration dossier.

STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR
IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE1
At the level of this Annex, the registrant must submit a proposal and a time schedule for fulfilling
the information requirements of this Annex in accordance with Article 12(1)(d).
Column 1 of this Annex establishes the standard information required for all substances
manufactured or imported in quantities of 100 tonnes or more in accordance with Article 12(1)(d).
Accordingly, the information required in column 1 of this Annex is additional to that required in
column 1 of Annexes VII and VIII. Any other relevant physicochemical, toxicological and
ecotoxicological information that is available shall be provided. Column 2 of this Annex lists
specific rules according to which the registrant may propose to omit the required standard
information, replace it by other information, provide it at a later stage or adapt it in another way. If
the conditions are met under which column 2 of this Annex allows an adaptation to be proposed, the
registrant shall clearly state this fact and the reasons for proposing each adaptation under the
appropriate headings in the registration dossier.
In addition to these specific rules, a registrant may propose to adapt the required standard
information set out in column 1 of this Annex according to the general rules contained in Annex XI.
In this case as well, he shall clearly state the reasons for any decision to propose adaptations to the
standard information under the appropriate headings in the registration dossier referring to the
appropriate specific rule(s) in column 2 or in Annex XI2.

         This Annex shall apply to producers of articles that are required to register in accordance
         with Article 7 and to other downstream users that are required to carry out tests under this
         Regulation adapted as necessary.

         Note: conditions for not requiring a specific test that are set out in the appropriate test
         methods in the Commission Regulation on test methods as specified in Article 13(3) that are
         not repeated in column 2, also apply.

Before new tests are carried out to determine the properties listed in this Annex, all available
in vitro data, in vivo data, historical human data, data from valid (Q)SARs and data from
structurally related substances (read-across approach) shall be assessed first. In vivo testing with
corrosive substances at concentration/dose levels causing corrosivity shall be avoided. Prior to
testing, further guidance on testing strategies should be consulted in addition to this Annex.
When, for certain endpoints, it is proposed not to provide information for other reasons than those
mentioned in column 2 of this Annex or in Annex XI, this fact and the reasons shall also be clearly
stated.

 STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR
                    IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 1 000 TONNES OR MORE1
At the level of this Annex, the registrant must submit a proposal and a time schedule for fulfilling
the information requirements of this Annex in accordance with Article 12(1)(e).
Column 1 of this Annex establishes the standard information required for all substances
manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 000 tonnes or more in accordance with Article 12(1)(e).
Accordingly, the information required in column 1 of this Annex is additional to that required in
column 1 of Annexes VII, VIII and IX. Any other relevant physicochemical, toxicological and
ecotoxicological information that is available shall be provided. Column 2 of this Annex lists
specific rules according to which the registrant may propose to omit the required standard
information, replace it by other information, provide it at a later stage or adapt it in another way. If
the conditions are met under which column 2 of this Annex allows an adaptation to be proposed, the
registrant shall clearly state this fact and the reasons for proposing each adaptation under the
appropriate headings in the registration dossier.
In addition to these specific rules, a registrant may propose to adapt the required standard
information set out in column 1 of this Annex according to the general rules contained in Annex XI.
In this case as well, he shall clearly state the reasons for any decision to propose adaptations to the
standard information under the appropriate headings in the registration dossier referring to the
appropriate specific rule(s) in column 2 or in Annex XI2.
1
         This Annex shall apply to producers of articles that are required to register in accordance
         with Article 7 and to other downstream users that are required to carry out tests under this
         Regulation adapted as necessary.
2
         Note: conditions for not requiring a specific test that are set out in the appropriate test
         methods in the Commission Regulation on test methods as specified in Article 13(3) that are
         not repeated in column 2, also apply.

Before new tests are carried out to determine the properties listed in this Annex, all available
in vitro data, in vivo data, historical human data, data from valid (Q)SARs and data from
structurally related substances (read-across approach) shall be assessed first. In vivo testing with
corrosive substances at concentration/dose levels causing corrosivity shall be avoided. Prior to
testing, further guidance on testing strategies should be consulted in addition to this Annex.
When, for certain endpoints, it is proposed not to provide information for other reasons than those
mentioned in column 2 of this Annex or in Annex XI, this fact and the reasons shall also be clearly
stated.

                                                  relevance of all the available data.
                                                  If there is a positive result from an in vivo somatic cell study available, the potential for
                                                  germ cell mutagenicity should be considered on the basis of all available data, including
                                                  toxicokinetic evidence. If no clear conclusions about germ cell mutagenicity can be made,
                                                  additional investigations shall be considered.

                                                –      the substance has a widespread dispersive use or there is evidence of frequent or

                                                       repeated dose study(ies) that the substance is able to induce hyperplasia and/or

       GENERAL RULES FOR ADAPTATION OF THE STANDARD TESTING REGIME
                                  SET OUT IN ANNEXES VII TO X
Annexes VII to X set out the information requirements for all substances manufactured or imported
in quantities of:
–        1 tonne or more in accordance with Article 12(1)(a),
–        10 tonnes or more in accordance with Article 12(1)(c),
–        100 tonnes or more in accordance with Article 12(1)(d), and
–        1 000 tonnes or more in accordance with Article 12(1)(e).
In addition to the specific rules set out in Column 2 of Annexes VII to X, a registrant may adapt the
standard testing regime in accordance with the general rules set out in Section 1 of this Annex.
Under dossier evaluation the Agency may assess these adaptations to the standard testing regime.
1.       TESTING DOES NOT APPEAR SCIENTIFICALLY NECESSARY
1.1.     Use of existing data
1.1.1.    Data on physical-chemical properties from experiments not carried out according to GLP
         or the test methods referred to in Article 13(3)
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/372         EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
          Data shall be considered to be equivalent to data generated by the corresponding test
          methods referred to in Article 13(3) if the following conditions are met:
          1)    adequacy for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment;
          2)    sufficient documentation is provided to assess the adequacy of the study; and
          3)    the data are valid for the endpoint being investigated and the study is performed
                using an acceptable level of quality assurance.
1.1.2.    Data on human health and environmental properties from experiments not carried out
          according to GLP or the test methods referred to in Article 13(3)
          Data shall be considered to be equivalent to data generated by the corresponding test
          methods referred to in Article 13(3) if the following conditions are met:
          1)    adequacy for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment;
          2)    adequate and reliable coverage of the key parameters foreseen to be investigated in
                the corresponding test methods referred to in Article 13(3);
          3)    exposure duration comparable to or longer than the corresponding test methods
                referred to in Article 13(3) if exposure duration is a relevant parameter; and
          4)    adequate and reliable documentation of the study is provided.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     L 396/373
1.1.3.    Historical human data
         Historical human data, such as epidemiological studies on exposed populations, accidental
         or occupational exposure data and clinical studies, shall be considered.
         The strength of the data for a specific human health effect depends, among other things, on
         the type of analysis and on the parameters covered and on the magnitude and specificity of
         the response and consequently the predictability of the effect. Criteria for assessing the
         adequacy of the data include:
          1)    the proper selection and characterisation of the exposed and control groups;
          2)    adequate characterisation of exposure;
          3)    sufficient length of follow-up for disease occurrence;
          4)    valid method for observing an effect;
          5)    proper consideration of bias and confounding factors; and
          6)    a reasonable statistical reliability to justify the conclusion.
         In all cases adequate and reliable documentation shall be provided.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/374          EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   30.12.2006
1.2.      Weight of evidence
          There may be sufficient weight of evidence from several independent sources of
          information leading to the assumption/conclusion that a substance has or has not a
          particular dangerous property, while the information from each single source alone is
          regarded insufficient to support this notion.
          There may be sufficient weight of evidence from the use of newly developed test methods,
          not yet included in the test methods referred to in Article 13(3) or from an international test
          method recognised by the Commission or the Agency as being equivalent, leading to the
          conclusion that a substance has or has not a particular dangerous property.
          Where sufficient weight of evidence for the presence or absence of a particular dangerous
          property is available:
          –      further testing on vertebrate animals for that property shall be omitted,
          –      further testing not involving vertebrate animals may be omitted.
          In all cases adequate and reliable documentation shall be provided.
1.3.      Qualitative or Quantitative structure-activity relationship ((Q)SAR)
          Results obtained from valid qualitative or quantitative structure-activity relationship
          models ((Q)SARs) may indicate the presence or absence of a certain dangerous property.
          Results of (Q)SARs may be used instead of testing when the following conditions are met:
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/375
         –      results are derived from a (Q)SAR model whose scientific validity has been
                established,
         –      the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model,
         –      results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk
                assessment, and
         –      adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
         The Agency in collaboration with the Commission, Member States and interested parties
         shall develop and provide guidance in assessing which (Q)SARs will meet these conditions
         and provide examples.
1.4.     In vitro methods
         Results obtained from suitable in vitro methods may indicate the presence of a certain
         dangerous property or may be important in relation to a mechanistic understanding, which
         may be important for the assessment. In this context, "suitable" means sufficiently well
         developed according to internationally agreed test development criteria (e.g. the European
         Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM)) criteria for the entry of a test
         into the prevalidation process). Depending on the potential risk, immediate confirmation
         requiring testing beyond the information foreseen in Annexes VII or VIII or proposed
         confirmation requiring testing beyond the information foreseen in Annexes IX or X for the
         respective tonnage level may be necessary.
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/376          EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                     30.12.2006
          If the results obtained from the use of such in vitro methods do not indicate a certain
          dangerous property, the relevant test shall nevertheless be carried out at the appropriate
          tonnage level to confirm the negative result, unless testing is not required in accordance
          with Annexes VII to X or the other rules in this Annex.
          Such confirmation may be waived, if the following conditions are met:
          1)     results are derived from an in vitro method whose scientific validity has been
                 established by a validation study, according to internationally agreed validation
                 principles;
          2)     results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk
                 assessment; and
          3)     adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
1.5.      Grouping of substances and read-across approach
          Substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are
          likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be
          considered as a group, or "category" of substances. Application of the group concept
          requires that physicochemical properties, human health effects and environmental effects
          or environmental fate may be predicted from data for reference substance(s) within the
          group by interpolation to other substances in the group (read-across approach). This avoids
          the need to test every substance for every endpoint. The Agency, after consulting with
          relevant stakeholders and other interested parties, shall issue guidance on technically and
          scientifically justified methodology for the grouping of substances sufficiently in advance
          of the first registration deadline for phase-in substances.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                     L 396/377
         The similarities may be based on:
         1)     a common functional group;
         2)     the common precursors and/or the likelihood of common breakdown products via
                physical and biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals; or
         3)     a constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the
                category.
         If the group concept is applied, substances shall be classified and labelled on this basis.
         In all cases results should:
         –      be adequate for the purpose of classification and labelling and/or risk assessment,
         –      have adequate and reliable coverage of the key parameters addressed in the
                corresponding test method referred to in Article 13(3),
         –      cover an exposure duration comparable to or longer than the corresponding test
                method referred to in Article 13(3) if exposure duration is a relevant parameter, and
         –      adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method shall be provided.

2.        TESTING IS TECHNICALLY NOT POSSIBLE
          Testing for a specific endpoint may be omitted, if it is technically not possible to conduct
          the study as a consequence of the properties of the substance: e.g. very volatile, highly
          reactive or unstable substances cannot be used, mixing of the substance with water may
          cause danger of fire or explosion or the radio-labelling of the substance required in certain
          studies may not be possible. The guidance given in the test methods referred to in
          Article 13(3), more specifically on the technical limitations of a specific method, shall
          always be respected.
3.        SUBSTANCE-TAILORED EXPOSURE-DRIVEN TESTING
3.1.      Testing in accordance with sections 8.6 and 8.7 of Annex VIII, Annex IX and Annex X
          may be omitted, based on the exposure scenario(s) developed in the Chemical Safety
          Report.
3.2.      In all cases, adequate justification and documentation shall be provided. The justification
          shall be based on an exposure assessment in accordance with section 5 of Annex I and be
          consistent with the criteria adopted pursuant to section 3.3, and the specific conditions of
          use must be communicated through the chemical supply chain in accordance with
          Articles 31 or 32.
3.3.      The Commission shall adopt the measures designed to amend non-essential elements of
          this Regulation by supplementing it, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article
          133(4), to set the criteria defining what constitutes adequate justification under Section 3.2
          by 1 December 2008.

                      GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR DOWNSTREAM USERS
          TO ASSESS SUBSTANCES AND PREPARE CHEMICAL SAFETY REPORTS
Introduction
The purpose of this Annex is to set out how downstream users are to assess and document that the
risks arising from the substance(s) they use are adequately controlled during their use for a use not
covered by the Safety Data Sheet supplied to them and that other users further down the supply
chain can adequately control the risks. The assessment shall cover the life-cycle of the substance,
from its receipt by the downstream user, for his own uses and for his identified uses further down
the supply chain. The assessment shall consider the use of the substance on its own, in a preparation
or in an article.
In carrying out the chemical safety assessment and producing the Chemical Safety Report, the
downstream user shall take account of information received from the supplier of the chemical in
accordance with Article 31 and 32 of this Regulation. Where available and appropriate, an
assessment carried out under Community legislation, (e.g. risk assessments completed under
Regulation (EEC) No 793/93) shall be taken into account in the chemical safety assessment and be
reflected in the Chemical Safety Report. Deviations from such assessments shall be justified.
Assessments carried out under other international and national programmes may also be taken into
account.

The process which the downstream user goes through in carrying out the chemical safety
assessment and in producing his Chemical Safety Report, involves three steps:
Step 1: Development of exposure scenario(s)
The downstream user shall develop exposure scenarios for uses not covered in a Safety Data Sheet
supplied to him in accordance with Section 5 of Annex I.
Step 2: If necessary, a refinement of the hazard assessment by the supplier;
If the downstream user considers the hazard and PBT assessments reported in the Safety Data Sheet
supplied to him to be appropriate, then no further hazard assessment or PBT and vPvB assessment
is necessary. In this case he shall use the relevant information reported by the supplier for the risk
characterisation. This shall be stated in the Chemical Safety Report.
If the downstream user considers the assessments reported in the Safety Data Sheet supplied to him
to be inappropriate, then he shall carry out the relevant assessments in accordance with
Sections 1 to 4 of Annex I as appropriate to him.
In those cases where the downstream user considers that information in addition to that provided by
the supplier is necessary for producing his Chemical Safety Report the downstream user shall gather
this information. Where this information can only be obtained by testing on vertebrate animals, he
shall submit a proposal for a testing strategy to the Agency in accordance with Article 38. He shall
explain why he considers that additional information is necessary. While waiting for results of
further testing, he shall record in his chemical safety report the risk management measures intended
to manage the risks being explored that he has put in place.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006        EN                Official Journal of the European Union                   L 396/381
On completion of any additional testing, the downstream user shall revise the Chemical Safety
Report, and his Safety Data Sheet if he is required to prepare one, as appropriate.
Step 3: Risk characterisation.
A risk characterisation shall be carried out for each new exposure scenario as prescribed in
Section 6 of Annex I. The risk characterisation shall be presented under the relevant heading of the
Chemical Safety Report and summarised in the Safety Data Sheet under the relevant heading(s).
When generating an exposure scenario it will be necessary to make initial assumptions about the
operating conditions and risk managements measures. If the initial assumptions lead to a risk
characterisation indicating inadequate protection of human health and the environment, then it shall
be necessary to carry out an iterative process with amendment of one or a number of factors until
adequate control can be demonstrated. This may require the generation of additional hazard or
exposure information or appropriate alteration of the process, operating conditions or risk
management measures. Therefore, iterations may be made between on the one hand developing and
revising an (initial) exposure scenario, which includes developing and implementing risk
management measures, and on the other hand generating further information to produce the
definitive exposure scenario. The purpose of generating further information is to establish a more
precise risk characterisation, based on a refined hazard assessment and/or exposure assessment.
The downstream user shall produce a Chemical Safety Report detailing his chemical safety
assessment using part B, Sections 9 and 10, of the format set out in Section 7 of Annex I and the
other sections of this format, if appropriate.

Part A of the Chemical Safety Report shall include a declaration that the risk management measures
outlined in the relevant exposure scenarios are implemented by the downstream user for his own
uses and that the risk management measures outlined in the exposure scenarios for the identified
uses are communicated down the supply chain.

Justification for Restrictions at Community Level
          Justification shall be provided that:
          –      action is required on a Community-wide basis,
          –      a restriction is the most appropriate Community wide measure which shall be
                 assessed using the following criteria:
                 (i)    effectiveness: the restriction must be targeted to the effects or exposures that
                        cause the risks identified, capable of reducing these risks to an acceptable level
                        within a reasonable period of time and proportional to the risk;
                 (ii)   practicality: the restriction must be implementable, enforceable and
                        manageable;
                 (iii) monitorability: it must be possible to monitor the result of the implementation
                        of the proposed restriction.
          Socio-economic assessment
          The socio-economic impacts of the proposed restriction may be analysed with reference to
          Annex XVI. To this end, the net benefits to human health and the environment of the
          proposed restriction may be compared to its net costs to manufacturers, importers,
          downstream users, distributors, consumers and society as a whole.
          Information on stakeholder consultation
          Information on any consultation of stakeholders and how their views have been taken into
          account shall be included in the dossier.

                                    SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
This Annex outlines the information that may be addressed by those submitting a socio-economic
analysis (SEA) with an application for authorisation, as specified in Article 62(5)(a), or in
connection with a proposed restriction, as specified in Article 69(6)(b).
The Agency shall prepare guidance for the preparation of SEAs. SEAs, or contributions to them,
shall be submitted in the format specified by the Agency in accordance with Article 111.
However, the level of detail and scope of the SEA, or contributions to them, shall be the
responsibility of the applicant for authorisation, or, in the case of a proposed restriction, the
interested party. The information provided can address the socio-economic impacts at any level.
An SEA may include the following elements:
–         Impact of a granted or refused authorisation on the applicant(s), or, in the case of a
          proposed restriction, the impact on industry (e.g. manufacturers and importers). The impact
          on all other actors in the supply chain, downstream users and associated businesses in
          terms of commercial consequences such as impact on investment, research and
          development, innovation, one-off and operating costs (e.g. compliance, transitional
          arrangements, changes to existing processes, reporting and monitoring systems, installation
          of new technology, etc.) taking into account general trends in the market and technology.

–        Impacts of a granted or refused authorisation, or a proposed restriction, on consumers. For
         example, product prices, changes in composition or quality or performance of products,
         availability of products, consumer choice, as well as effects on human health and the
         environment to the extent that these affect consumers.
–        Social implications of a granted or refused authorisation, or a proposed restriction. For
         example job security and employment.
–        Availability, suitability, and technical feasibility of alternative substances and/or
         technologies, and economic consequences thereof, and information on the rates of, and
         potential for, technological change in the sector(s) concerned. In the case of an application
         for authorisation, the social and/or economic impacts of using any available alternatives.
–        Wider implications on trade, competition and economic development (in particular for
         SMEs and in relation to third countries) of a granted or refused authorisation, or a proposed
         restriction. This may include consideration of local, regional, national or international
         aspects.
–        In the case of a proposed restriction, proposals for other regulatory or non-regulatory
         measures that could meet the aim of the proposed restriction (this shall take account of
         existing legislation). This should include an assessment of the effectiveness and the costs
         linked to alternative risk management measures.

–         In the case of a proposed restriction or refused authorisation, the benefits for human health
          and the environment as well as the social and economic benefits of the proposed
          restriction. For example, worker health, environmental performance and the distribution of
          these benefits, for example, geographically, population groups.
–         An SEA may also address any other issue that is considered to be relevant by the
          applicant(s) or interested party.

FOREWORD
Explanations of column headings
          Substances:
          The name is the same as that used for the substance in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC.
          Whenever possible dangerous substances are designated by their EINECS (European
          Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances) or ELINCS (European List of
          Notified Chemical Substances) names. These are referred to as EC numbers in the table.
          Other entries not listed in EINECS or ELINCS are designated using an internationally
          recognised chemical name (e.g. ISO, IUPAC). An additional common name is included in
          some cases.
          Index number:
          The index number is the identification code given to the substance in Annex I of
          Directive 67/548/EEC. Substances are listed in the Appendix according to this index
          number.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                   L 396/443
         EINECS number:
         For each substance listed in the EINECS there is an identification code. The code starts
         at 200-001 8.
         ELINCS number
         For each new substance notified under the Directive 67/548/EEC an identification code has
         been defined and published in the ELINCS. The code starts at 400-010-9.
         CAS number:
         Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers have been defined for substances to help in
         their identification.
         Notes:
         The full text of the notes can be found in the Foreword of Annex I to
         Directive 67/548/EEC.
         The notes to be taken into account for the purposes of this Regulation are the following:
         Note A:
         The name of the substance must appear on the label in the form of one of the designations
         given in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC (see Article 23(2)(a) of that Directive).
 ---pagebreak--- L 396/444         EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                    30.12.2006
          In Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, use is sometimes made of a general description such
          as "…compounds" or "…salts". In this case, the manufacturer or any other person who
          places such a substance on the market is required to state on the label the correct name, due
          account being taken of the Chapter entitled "Nomenclature" of the Foreword to that Annex.
          Directive 67/548/EEC also requires that the symbols, indications of danger, R- and
          S-phrases to be used for each substance shall be those shown in Annex I to that
          Directive (Article 23(2)(c), (d) and (e) of that Directive).
          For substances belonging to one particular group of substances included in Annex I to
          Directive 67/548/EEC, the symbols, indications of danger, R- and S-phrases to be used for
          each substance shall be those shown in the appropriate entry in that Annex.
          For substances belonging to more than one group of substances included in Annex I to
          Directive 67/548/EEC, the symbols, indications of danger, R- and S-phrases to be used for
          each substance shall be those shown in both the appropriate entries given in that Annex. In
          cases where two different classifications are given in the two entries for the same hazard,
          the classification reflecting the more severe hazard classification shall be used.
          Note C:
          Some organic substances may be marketed either in a specific isomeric form or as a
          mixture of several isomers.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                 Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/445
         Note D:
         Certain substances which are susceptible to spontaneous polymerisation or decomposition
         are generally placed on the market in a stabilised form. It is in this form that they are listed
         in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC.
         However, such substances are sometimes placed on the market in a non-stabilised form. In
         this case, the manufacturer or any person who places such a substance on the market must
         state on the label the name of the substance followed by the words "non-stabilised".
         Note E:
         Substances with specific effects on human health (see chapter 4 of Annex VI of
         Directive 67/548/EEC) that are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or toxic for
         reproduction in categories 1 or 2 are ascribed Note E if they are also classified as very
         toxic (T+), toxic (T) or harmful (Xn). For these substances, the risk phrases R20, R21,
         R22, R23, R24, R25, R26, R27, R28, R39, R68 (harmful), R48 and R65 and all
         combinations of these risk phrases shall be preceded by the word "Also".
         Note H:
         The classification and label shown for this substance applies to the dangerous property(ies)
         indicated by the risk phrase(s) in combination with the category(ies) of danger shown. The
         requirements of Article 6 of Directive 67/548/EEC on manufacturers, distributors, and
         importers of this substance apply to all other aspects of classification and labelling. The
         final label shall follow the requirements of section 7 of Annex VI to Directive
         67/548/EEC.
         This note applies to certain coal- and oil-derived substances and to certain entries for
         groups of substances in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC.

          Note J:
          The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance
          contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (EINECS No 200-753-7).
          Note K:
          The classification as a carcinogen or mutagen need not apply if it can be shown that the
          substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w 1,3-butadiene (EINECS No 203-450-8). If the
          substance is not classified as a carcinogen or mutagen, at least the S-phrases (2-)9-16
          should apply. This note applies to certain complex oil-derived substances in Annex I to
          Directive 67/548/EC
          Note L:
          The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance
          contains less than 3 % DMSO extract as measured by IP 346.
          Note M:
          The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance
          contains less than 0,005 % w/w benzo[a]-pyrene (EINECS No 200-028-5).
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006       EN                Official Journal of the European Union                      L 396/447
         Note N:
         The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if the full refining history is known and it
         can be shown that the substance from which it is produced is not a carcinogen.
         Note P:
         The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the substance
         contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (EINECS No 200-753-7).
         Note R:
         The classification as a carcinogen need not apply to fibres with a length weighted
         geometric mean diameter, less two standard errors, greater than 6μm.
         Note S:
         This substance may not require a label according to Article 23 of Directive 67/548/EEC

                    Special provisions on the labelling of articles containing asbestos
1.        All articles containing asbestos or the packaging thereof must bear the label defined as
          follows:
          (a)   the label conforming to the specimen below shall be at least 5 cm high (H) and
                2,5 cm wide;
          (b)   it shall consist of two parts:
                –      the top part (h1 = 40 % H) shall include the letter "a" in white, on a black
                       background,
                –      the bottom part (h2= 60 % H) shall include the standard wording in white
                       and/or black, on a red background, and shall be clearly legible;
          (c)   if the article contains crocidolite, the words "contains asbestos" used in the standard
                wording shall be replaced by "contains crocidolite/blue asbestos".
                Member States may exclude from the provision of the first subparagraph articles
                intended to be placed on the market in their territory. The labelling of these articles
                must however bear the wording "contains asbestos";
          (d)   if labelling takes the form of direct printing on the articles, a single colour
                contrasting with the background colour is sufficient.

2.       The label mentioned in this Appendix shall be affixed in accordance with the following
         rules:
         (a)    on each of the smallest units supplied;
         (b)    if an article has asbestos-based components, it is sufficient for these components only
                to bear the label. The labelling may be dispensed with if smallness of size or
                unsuitability of packaging make it impossible for a label to be affixed to the
                component.

3.        Labelling of packaged articles containing asbestos
          3.1. The following particulars shall appear on clearly legible and indelible labelling on
               the packaging of packaged articles containing asbestos:
               (a)   the symbol and relevant indications of danger in accordance with this Annex;
               (b)   safety instructions which must be selected in accordance with the particulars in
                     this Annex, inasmuch as they are relevant for the particular article.
               Where additional safety information is provided on the packaging, this shall not
               weaken or contradict the particulars given in accordance with points (a) and (b).
          3.2. Labelling in accordance with 3.1 shall be effected by means of:
               –     a label firmly affixed to the packaging, or
               –     a (tie-on) label securely attached to the package, or
               –     direct printing of the packaging.
          3.3. Articles containing asbestos and which are packaged only in loose plastic wrapping
               or the like shall be regarded as packaged articles and shall be labelled in accordance
               with 3.2. If articles are separated from such packages and placed on the market
               unpackaged, each of the smallest units supplied shall be accompanied by labelling
               particulars in accordance with 3.1.
 ---pagebreak--- 30.12.2006         EN                Official Journal of the European Union                       L 396/843
4.       Labelling of unpackaged articles containing asbestos
         For unpackaged articles containing asbestos, labelling in accordance with 3.1 shall be
         effected by means of:
         –       a label firmly affixed to the article containing asbestos,
         –       a (tie-on) label securely attached to such an article,
         –       direct printing on the articles,
         or, if the abovementioned is not reasonably practicable as in the case of, for example,
         smallness of size of the article, the unsuitable nature of the article's properties or certain
         technical difficulties by means of a hand-out with labelling in accordance with 3.1.
5.       Without prejudice to Community provisions on safety and hygiene at work, the label
         affixed to the article which may, in the context of its use, be processed or finished, shall be
         accompanied by any safety instructions which may be appropriate for the article
         concerned, and in particular by the following:
         –       operate if possible out of doors or in a well-ventilated place,
         –       preferably use hand tools or low-speed tools equipped, if necessary, with an
                 appropriate dust-extraction facility. If high-speed tools are used, they should always
                 be equipped with such a facility,

          –     if possible, dampen before cutting or drilling,
          –     dampen dust and place it in a properly closed receptacle and dispose of it safely.
6.        The labelling of any article intended for domestic use which is not covered by section 5
          and which is likely, during use, to release asbestos fibres shall, if necessary, contain the
          following safety instruction: "replace when worn".
7.        The labelling of articles containing asbestos shall be in the official language or languages
          of the Member State(s) where the article is placed on the market.
