To increase the efficiency, ECHA will no longer ask for confirmation from companies that ceased manufacturing or importing a substance after notification of a draft decision under dossier or substance evaluation. Instead, ECHA will proceed to invalidate the registration – in accordance with Article 50(3) of REACH – straightaway after the company indicates their cease of manufacture of the substance in REACH-IT. Once done, the company will receive a notification confirming that the registration is no longer valid.
