Procedure of purchasing a Letter of Access

You are able to purchase a Letter of Access (LoA), which gives you permission to refer to data you need for your registration.

Please ensure that your substance is covered by the Lead Dossier. Therefore, check the Substance Sameness Criteria under “Substances”.

If you prefer to select a different data set, you may consider opting-out from the specific endpoint. This means you can have access to all data which were already submitted or to individual studies, while still being part of the same joint registration (Joint submission JS).

You do not need to pay for

  • data you already have to fulfil your requirement (endpoint)
  • data you do not need for the tonnage band of your registration
  • data you do not need for the type of your registration (such as intermediates under strictly controlled conditions)

You also need access to the joint submission. In practice, this means that the lead registrant gives you a token (password) to become a member of the Joint Submission in REACH-IT. You always need to submit your registration as a member of the joint submission, even though you do not share some or all of the data submitted by the lead registrant.

The following information and requirements are optional.

Chemical safety report (CSR):
For registrations above 10 tonnes a year, you need to submit a CSR. You can buy it from the lead registrant included in the Letter of Access, or prepare it by yourself. For registrations between 1-10 tonnes a year, a CSR is not required.

Guidance on safe use of the substance:
As the chemical safety report is not needed for registrations between 1–10 tonnes a year, you will have to submit more information in the guidance on safe use section of your registration dossier. The guidance on safe use must be consistent with the safety data sheets which you supply to your customers.

Member dossier preparation:
You may compile your member dossier by yourself or agree with your co-registrant or a service provider that they prepare the member dossier for you.

Please note: If you intend to register the substance, please create an user account in order to login the user area. There you will have access to further substance specific SIEF information. The menu bar will guide you through the questionnaires.
