ECHA to disseminate registrants' name, contact details and full registration numbers
In the latest ECHA Q&A on IUCLID 5.4 changes and impact on submission and dissemination of information, ECHA has announced that they will disseminate the registrant's name, contact details and full registration numbers in future unless those information has been claimed confidential in IUCLID 5 by registrants. Such a confidentiality claim usually involves an update of IUCLID 5 dossier and requires a fee to be paid to ECHA. This dissemination of information will assist buyers to find REACH registered suppliers in the future and may pose a threat to companies who want to keep their business activities confidential.
