ECHA publishes list of pre-registered substances

ERJ staff report (DS)

Helsinki, Finland - The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published its list of pre-registered substances on its website.

The list contains around 150 000 substances which were pre-registered by 65 000 companies between 1 June and 1 Dec 2008. Part of the submitted information is being screened due to the high number of pre-registrations. The fully screened list will be published at a later date, the ECHA said 19 Dec.

The pre-registration substances list, i.e. before 1 Jan 2009, covers all the EU “existing substances” (EINECS). The screening process for the full list will continue beyond 1 Jan 2009 with the list being updated as the checking is in progress, the ECHA said.
