New web page on the joint submission obligation
This web page clarifies what registrants have to do to be in line with the joint submission obligation introduced by the Implementing Regulation on joint submission of data and data sharing.
We are currently looking at existing registrations and contacting those registrants who breach the joint submission obligation. These companies will be given sufficient time to comply with the regulation. If they do not act, their registrations may be revoked.
Keep in mind that dossiers can no longer be submitted through REACH-IT individually if a registration for the same substance and same registration type already exists.

In particular the update concerns cost sharing mechanisms, joint submission obligations, cooperation agreements and disputes.
