REACH places the responsibility for establishing the safe use of chemicals on companies manufacturing and importing chemicals in the EU, which they must document in registration dossiers. The safe use of chemical substances is only demonstrated by adequate or complete information or by alternative information with valid scientific justification. High quality of hazard, use and exposure information is required in registration dossiers in order to provide a scientifically sound basis for the assessment of chemical risks. This will result in appropriate operational conditions, risk management measures and thereby lead to the safe use of chemical substances. This document reports the evaluation activities carried out by ECHA in 2012, highlights the most frequently observed shortcomings encountered in registration dossiers and provides recommendations to registrants. It is timely both for companies preparing dossiers for the 2013 deadline as well as for registrants who have already submitted dossiers, since the recommendations help registrants to correct potential mistakes in their dossiers. Therefore, all registrants are encouraged to take the recommendations provided in this annual evaluation report into account and to take the initiative to update and improve their dossiers where needed. The aim of REACH is to protect human health and the environment while enabling the free movement of chemicals on the internal market. In addition, REACH promotes the use of alternatives to testing on animals. Annexes VII to X of REACH lay down the information requirements for each endpoint based on a standard testing regime per tonnage band. When testing, the registrant must follow test protocols, which are in line with Article 13(3). These test protocols define the elements to be reported and thus the information that is required under REACH. Use of the many possibilities offered by REACH to adapt the standard testing regime in order to avoid animal testing is subject to conditions laid down by REACH. ECHA checks whether the registrant’s adaptations fulfil these conditions. If they do not, ECHA will request to use the standard tests to generate the missing information
