IT Tools Now Available for Downstream User Report Submission
Downstream users shall request an extended SDS (eSDS) for a registered substance from their supplier if the tonnage band of the substance is more than 10 tonnes per year and the substance is classified as hazardous. In certain cases downstream users need to report to ECHA if their uses of a registered substance are not covered by the exposure scenario provided by their supplier. ECHA has developed an online form to make reporting on unsupported uses as easy as possible for downstream users.
