REACH REGISTRATION: AFTER MAY 2018

When you are Lead Registrant for several substances and a new Member Registrant arrives for one or more of your substances, you must provide the new arrival with the Letter of Access (LoA), and communicate its content, its costs, etc. This implies being able to go back to dossiers submitted perhaps many years earlier.

EcoMundo’s turnkey service, EcoLoA for LR, is there to manage Letter of Access requests with a very precise methodology:

• Receipt of new LoA requests
• Calculation and dissemination of the costs
• Managing the signatures for the SIEF agreement
• Issuing the (identifying) token to Member Registrants
• Managing reimbursement
• Long-term LoA archiving

There is no charge for this management service! Once the LoA transaction is completed, EcoMundo is remunerated by a management cost of the LoA paid by the co-registrant. EcoLoA for LR is the simplest, most economical and optimised method for managing your LoA obligations. In compliance with regulation 09/2016, EcoMundo ensures, on behalf of the Lead Registrant, that the necessary information-sharing conditions are correctly in place for all Members. For example, the Lead Registrant must ensure that new Members share only information concerning their tonnage levels. When the SIEF agreement is signed and the LoA paid for, the Lead Registrant distributes the identification numbers to the Members who have requested a joint submission.

If you are co-registrant of a joint submission who has paid the LoA and subsequently new co-registrants pay the LoA, REACH imposes cost sharing in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. This implies that the Lead Registrant has the obligation to make refunds. Refunds are usually made at an annual frequency for an amount exceeding €1000 and, depending on the conditions stipulated in the signed SIEF agreement, on an annual basis.

EcoMundo offers EcoLoA for Members, a turnkey service to manage your LoA reimbursements paid to the Consortium or the Lead Registrant.

Our service includes:

• Check of the arrival of new co-registrants
• Monitoring of LoA refunding potential
• Estimated amount eligible for reimbursement
• Contact, reminder and exchange with the Lead Registrant until the annual refund is obtained.

EcoLoA for Members is the most optimised, sustainable and economical way to recoup your LoA investments. All members of a joint submission for a given substance are brought together, giving more weight to a LoA claim against the LR or Consortium.
