<strong>Guidance</strong> on registration
Version 2.0 May 2012
7 When and how to update a registration
Aim:
The aim of this chapter is to explain when and how to update a registration. It
explains all reasons why the registrant should update the registration on his own
initiative and when the authorities can request the registrant to update the
registration dossier. It also describes what the updating duties for substances
regarded as registered are. If in need of updating his registration information the
reader is advised to also consult Part II of this guidance where detailed practical
instructions are provided.
Structure: The structure of this chapter is as follows (to be corrected):

7.1 Duty to keep information up to date
The information submitted to ECHA will have to be kept up to date. It is the responsibility of
the registrant to update his registration information when needed. If the information to be
updated is part of jointly submitted information, it will be the lead registrant who will have to
update the registration on behalf of the members of the joint submission.
In order to update his registration information, the registrant will have to update his IUCLID 5
dossier and submit it to ECHA through REACH-IT. Where the update relates exclusively to
administrative data such as the identity of the registrant or the composition of the group of
registrants in a joint submission, however, the updated information will be directly reported in
REACH-IT. No update of the IUCLID 5 dossier is required in this case.
There are basically two types of situations where a registrant needs to update the information
concerning his registration:
update on the registrant's own initiative
Registrants are required to report to ECHA without undue delay any new relevant
available information (e.g. new tonnage band) concerning their registration (Article 22
(1)).
update as a consequence of a decision made by ECHA or the Commission
