Phase 6 of REACH 2018
Submit your registration
The last step to successfully register under REACH is to send a registration dossier, with all the required information, to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This is done electronically through the Agency’s secure IT system REACH-IT.
With the launch of this step, companies have a full toolkit available in 23 EU languages to help them register by the 31 May 2018 deadline.

Before submission
Before you submit your dossier in REACH-IT, make sure that:
- your information in REACH-IT is up-to-date. Check especially your company contact details and your company size.
- you have checked your dossier with the IUCLID Validation Assistant.
- you have the correct IUCLID dossier saved on your computer.

Steps to take if you are a lead registrant
As a lead registrant you need to:
- Create the joint submission in REACH-IT;
- Give the joint submission token to the member registrants; and
- Submit the lead dossier, containing the joint part of the registration.
It is important that you submit your dossier as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for the members to submit theirs.

Steps to take if you are a member registrant
As a member registrant, you can only submit once you have joined the joint submission and after the lead registrant has submitted their dossier. You need to:
- Get access to the joint submission with a token from the lead registrant;
- Use it to confirm your membership in the joint submission in REACH-IT; and
- Submit your member dossier through REACH-IT.
Keep in mind that in some cases you can easily prepare and submit your registration directly in REACH-IT.

From submission to a registration number
After you have submitted your dossier to ECHA, it will go through the following:
- Business rules check: ECHA verifies, for example, that your administrative information is consistent with your submission type.
- Technical completeness check: a check to make sure that all the information required by REACH is included.
- Invoice for the fee: you will receive the invoice for your registration fee through REACH-IT. Pay it on time.
- Decision on your registration: if your dossier is complete and you have paid the invoice, you will get a registration number through REACH-IT.
- Publishing information: ECHA will automatically publish all non-confidential information from your registration dossier online.

Material for 'Finding your co-registrants' updated
The new version of REACH-IT, published in June 2016, makes it easier to find the lead registrant for your chemical. The lead registrant’s name and contact details are now available in REACH-IT to all pre-registrants of the same substance.
If the lead registrant has agreed, their name will also be published on ECHA’s website on the List of lead registrants. The material and webinar for phase 2 'Finding your co-registrants' has been updated to reflect these changes.

Last call to pre-register your low volume chemicals
If you manufacture or import a phase-in substance for the first time at 1 to 100 tonnes per year, and your substance is not carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction, you can still pre-register within six months of starting the activity, and at the latest by 31 May 2017 – one year before the registration deadline.
