...the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”) imposes on manufacturers and importers an obligation to register substance.

Whereas considering the effort required by regulatory obligations, it is necessary

• to increase the efficiency of generation of information and
• to reduce related costs.

The Members, with a view to fulfilling their regulatory obligations, wish to
form a consortium open to any other interested operators subject to criteria defined hereunder in order to

• share data
• in particular review the available data
• identify data gaps
• propose additional testing
• subject to an agreement on a case-by-case basis
• perform such testing where necessary
• compile and submit a harmonized set of data for registration and
• coordinate the response to any additional requirements under the
• REACH Regulation that may result from that submission.
