EcoMundo’s advice to succeed in your authorisation application
Recommendations for your authorisation dossier
- As the substance does not have a threshold, the Socio-Economic Analysis route will be chosen. This analysis will demonstrate that the benefits related to the granting of the authorisation outweigh the risks associated.
- The applicant will thus have to conduct a socio-economic analysis as well as the CSR and Analysis of Alternatives.
- The preferred methodology to conduct the socio-economic analysis of the authorisation application is the cost/benefit analysis.
- The creation of a dossier is usually between 6 and 18 months depending on the complexity of the dossier (intrinsic properties of the substance, complexity of the applicants’ value and production chain.
- Key elements of a successful authorisation dossier:
- A specific request with the most elements possible in relation to your activity
- Transparence and realism of the hypotheses and data as all elements produced will be challenged by the committees or stakeholders
- The “applied for use” and “non-use” scenarios are essential for the relevance of the socio-economic analysis
Planning recommendations
- The Latest Application date for this substance is 04/01/2019, the last submission window in on November 2018.
- It is therefore recommended to start the creation of the dossier immediately (september 2017).
