ECHA Newsletter 5/2012 published In the October issue, we give you the highlights of our Second Lead Registrant Workshop, reflect on the recent consultation of 54 potential substances of very high concern (SVHCs) and talk about the importance of sharing data. We also introduce a new feature soon to be available in REACH-IT, the Co-registrants page, which will support potential and existing registrants in sharing data and preparing joint submissions.
