Defra (UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) has proposed legislation to extend the UK's current REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restrictions of Chemicals) submission deadlines by 3 years. This legislation applies to all tonnage bands.
This decision is the result of a consultation launched by Defra on the options for extending the current deadlines and revising the dates. Its aim is to encourage the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to carry out compliance checks on 20% of registration dossiers, as required under Article 41 of UK REACH.
Closed in September, the consultation received 289 responses from the industry. 3 options resulted from this consultation:
- Option 0 (baseline): submission deadlines unchanged
- Option 1: submission deadlines are extended by 3 years
- Option 2: Bidding deadlines are extended differently depending on tonnage
Defra appears to support option 2, which would provide UK-specific data more quickly.
A new registration model is being worked on in the UK. As part of this, the UK government needs more time than anticipated to finalize this work. The extensions would allow additional time to finalize the new REACH registration model.
This new REACH model, should reduce data costs, although there are concerns within the industry about this.
However, some NGOs, including CHEM Trust, are "disappointed that the deadlines keep getting pushed back. This disappointment stems from the various extensions of deadlines and proposals by the legislation. In addition, a UK campaigner for the CHEM Trust, Chloe Alexander, has doubts about the protection this new model will offer the UK compared to the EU.
