ECHA Advises SMEs to Check Company Size in REACH-IT to Avoid Extra Charges
On 10 September 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published a reminder to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to check their reported company size in the REACH-IT registration system. This is part of ECHA’s ongoing efforts to ensure accurate reporting and compliance in the registration of chemical substances.
Key Message for SMEs
ECHA emphasised that if a company’s size has been incorrectly reported during registration, it must inform the ECHA Helpdesk immediately to avoid extra charges. Companies that update their size information before the Agency starts its verification process will only be required to pay the difference in the registration fee, instead of an administrative fee of up to EUR 19,900.
Steps to Update Company Size
ECHA encourages SMEs to visit its website for detailed guidance on how to determine their correct company size and compile the necessary documentation. In addition, SMEs should upload relevant supporting documents, regularly check their REACH-IT accounts for updates and ensure that their registration and contact details are accurate.
