The last REACH deadline to register low-volume chemicals is only a year away. If you have not yet started your preparations, you should do so as soon as possible.

Help is available on the <link https: echa.europa.eu reach-2018 know-your-portfolio _blank>REACH 2018 web pages in 23 EU languages, from your industry association and <link https: echa.europa.eu support helpdesks _blank>the national REACH helpdesks.

If you are new to REACH registration and plan to submit several registrations, ECHA recommends that you get ready with one or two and submit them early so that you get familiar with the process and the tools. Another important aspect is to start discussions to form the substance information exchange forum (SIEF) and joint submission as soon as possible. This includes the nomination of a lead registrant.
