8.2.3 Registration contents

Registration requires the submission of a 'registration dossier' to the ECHA. A specified set of data must be collected or generated for each substance including a technical dossier ('Technical Dossier'), which contains information such as study summaries, the identity of the manufacturer(s) or the importer(s), and the identity of substances.1 The Technical Dossier has to be provided for any substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or more. For larger quantities (10 tonnes or more), a more detailed 'Chemical Safety Report' has to be prepared.2 This includes providing exposure scenarios for specific uses of dangerous substances, i.e. including a description of how those substances are manufactured or used during their life-cycle.3 All 'identified uses', including use by a consumer, have to be recorded. Also, any risks regarding human health and the environment related to the manufacture or import, and the use of a substance, have to be addressed in 'risk characterisation measures'.
