Today the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced the online availability of a webinar regarding preparing and submitting a registration dossier. ECHA held the webinar on November 4, 2009, for lead registrants. The objective of the webinar was to provide lead registrants with an understanding of the main technical concepts required to be able to prepare and submit a registration dossier. ECHA covered the following topics: exporting information as an IUCLID 5 registration dossier and submitting it via REACH-IT; dossier processing at ECHA; and receiving a registration number. The webinar is available at http://www.echa.europa.eu/news/webinars_en.asp.
ECHA has scheduled more webinars for lead registrants between the end of 2009 and the first half of 2010. The next one, entitled “Fulfilling Information Requirements I: Gathering and Evaluating Information on Intrinsic Properties,” is scheduled for November 30, 2009. ECHA intends to post recordings of future webinars approximately a week after each event. ECHA will compile a question and answer document of each webinar and publish it in the lead registrant discussion forum and later on the ECHA website.
