According to a statement from the Danish environment minister published last week, Denmark is calling on ECHA to refuse registration to companies that provide an unconvincing registration dossier.
Towards a stricter REACH registration regulation?
This press release is in the wake of the European Commission's consultation on REACH registration and highlights the effect of current practices of some declarants who are judged insufficient and ineffective.
According to the Swedish Chemical Agency (KEMI), the main impediment to the regulatory process Remain the files of poor quality whose information and seriousness leave much to be desired. These poor quality files are generally harmful to the objectives of REACH by the inadequacy of the data on chemical substances provided there. The German Environment Agency (UBA) also agrees with the positions of the Scandinavian countries and stresses the need to improve the registration process in order toensure quality data collection That would allowspeed up the registration process.
The purpose of the recording is to improving the EU regulatory framework on chemical products. However, the Danish Environment Agency (EPA) points to regulatory fairness issues . Indeed, declarants whose files present solid and reliable information are more affected by the restrictive aspect of regulatory measures than declarants who do not take the compilation of their files seriously.
Solutions proposed by environmental agencies
These agencies recommend intensified controls and increased severity with respect to declarants. The European Commission should provide a stronger legislative framework in order to regulate the quality of registration files.
In addition, declarants should be required to update their registration records At the very least Every 5 years.
REACH authorization also under fire from critics
Scandinavian countries highlight limitations of authorization mechanisms and want a long-term review of the process. To date, all authorization files Have been accepted and this observation questions the real regulatory value of the REACH authorization. In order to encourageUse of alternative substances and to avoid unfortunate substitutions, Scandinavian environmental agencies recommend the use ofgrouped approach to the regulatory procedure.
