ECHA will publish information about NONS

As published on May31, 2012, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will input the information about NONS (notification of new substances) in the registration database.

NONS are those substances who have been registered under the former Chemicals legislation 67/548/EEC and are regarded as registered substances under REACH.

Why is it important to have access to the data of those substances, too?
In case of e.g. Recycling of substances as such or in mixtures, registration obligations do not apply if the substance has the same identity as the substance that has already been registered. In order to check and identify their obligations, recyclers need to know if the substance is registered and need access to safety data details.

The publication of the dossiers will take place in 3 steps and will last until 2013. Further information can be found here:
