DEADLINE: 1 September 2022 The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has published a consultation on extending the UK REACH submission deadlines for transitional registrations. In December 2021 Defra committed to exploring alternative arrangements for UK REACH transitional registrations in order to support chemical businesses, whilst upholding a high level of human and environmental health protection in line with our international commitments. It will take time to fully develop an alternative transitional registration model and, if the decision is made by Ministers to proceed, to develop and pass the necessary legislation. It will also be necessary to allow industry time to comply with new arrangements. Therefore, Defra also committed to consult on extending the deadlines for providing the full registration data. This public consultation is seeking views on options to extend those current deadlines for registration. It is also seeking views on extending the dates for the Agency (HSE) to carry out compliance checks on 20% of registration dossiers. Submit your comments to the consultation by 1 September 2022. Responses to this consultation will be used to inform decisions on changes to the UK REACH registration submission deadlines. Defra will not introduce new secondary legislation extending the current deadlines until responses to this consultation have been considered. Defra has also published a written statement from the Defra Secretary of State on the consistency of the amendments proposed in the consultation with the aims of the UK REACH legislation.
