Your feedback invited on ECHA’s strategic priorities for the next five years
A public consultation has been launched on ECHA’s draft Strategic Plan for the next five-year period. By 2023, ECHA aims to become the main source of scientific knowledge and technical know-how on chemicals, serving a wide range of EU policies and stakeholders. The plan lists three strategic priorities that are to be achieved through the implementation of a set of administrative and regulatory actions.
ECHA welcomes your comments on the draft document for consideration when deciding on the Agency’s future direction and priorities. The deadline for providing comments is 4 May 2018, 23:59 EET (Helsinki time).
If you realise that the substance you pre-registered is clearly different from that of the other pre-registrants, you may want to join another substance information exchange forum (SIEF). This may also be the case if you find out that your substance is different during discussions on substances sameness.
It is important to remember that whether you find a more suitable SIEF or not, you must register your substance using the correct identifiers, which have to be consistent with the analytical data on your substance, even if they are different from the ones used in your pre-registration.
The lists of pre-registered and registered substances are useful tools for looking for a more suitable SIEF. Take a look at our Q&A for more advice.
