ECHA Reminds SME Registrants to Verify Company Size in REACH-IT
The European Chemicals Agency
(ECHA) announced on 9 September 2025 that it is continuing to verify the
company size of registrants who declared themselves as micro, small, or
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at the time of their REACH registrations.
Correct declarations to avoid
charges
Companies are advised to review
their declared company size in REACH-IT. If the declared size is smaller than
the actual company size at the time of submission, registrants should
proactively inform ECHA’s Helpdesk. Early correction avoids the administrative
charge, leaving only the requirement to pay the difference to the correct
registration fee.
If ECHA discovers an incorrect
size declaration during the verification process, companies will be required to
pay both the difference in fees and an administrative charge of up to EUR
19,900.
Supporting documents required
Registrants must upload documents
supporting their SME status in REACH-IT and regularly check their accounts for
new messages and tasks. ECHA also reminds companies to keep their registrations
and contact details up to date. Guidance on how to determine company size is
available on ECHA’s website here.
