When will the guidance and tools for REACH be available?
New guidance documents and IT tools are currently developed under REACH Implementation Projects to make the transition to the new system as easy as possible. These instruments comprise easily understandable guidance for SMEs, more detailed information for specialists in chemical companies and IT tools for on-line registrations to the future European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
The guidance and IT tools to support registrants and users of chemicals will be made available free of charge through the Agency website that will be launched in mid 2007. The website will consist of an IT based guidance Navigator-tool and detailed guidance documents. The Navigator will help the users to find out their obligations and direct them to relevant parts of the guidance, tools and formats available on the website. The detailed documents provide information on the methods and procedures required to comply with REACH. The IT tool for submitting registrations is IUCLID5.
Further information on IUCLID5 is available at: http://ecb.jrc.it/iuclid5/
