The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published a new Guidance in a Nutshell on data sharing following the update of the Guidance on the same subject. The document is now available in the Guidance section of the ECHA website.

Helsinki, 31 July 2012 – The new Guidance in a Nutshell aims to introduce in simple and concise terms the data sharing obligations for registrants of both phase-in and non phase-in substances under the REACH Regulation. It briefly describes the main principles of data sharing and the mechanisms which should be followed by companies that either are required to or are willing to share data under the provisions of REACH. It also introduces the joint submission obligations for companies which have to register the same substance.
