  1. NOTOX B.V. REACH (Registration and Evaluation) SOCMA Corporate Excellence Conference 16 May 2008 Savannaha, Georgia

  2. Core business of NOTOX B.V. • Regulatory support for the notification of industrial, crop protection and biocidal products • Performance of studies for the registration of industrial and agrochemicals • Conduct of pre-clinical studies on APIs in support of new drug development

  3. Track Record Regulatory Support Industrial and specialty chemicals: • HPV OECD/ICCA • > 50 substances • HPV US-EPA Test plans and gap-filling • > 150 substances • Notification dossiers EU • > 1,000 substances • consortia experience

  4. REACH Provisions • REACH objectives: • Protection of human health and environment • Development of hazards, use conditions and exposure information for existing substances • Compulsory sharing of information to ensure competitiveness of EU chemical industries • Reduce animal testing (in vitro, QSAR, read-across) • Responsibility for hazard information shifts from the government to the industry • Sustain REACH-IT portal for communication among registrants

  5. REACH Regulation • Evaluate existing (EINECS) substances (30,000) 2010 - 2018 • Compile registration technical dossiers on EINECS substances – IUCLID 5 • Reduction of testing requirements for new chemicals 1 – 10 tons • QSAR and alternatives for animal studies accepted, also using read-across

  6. REACH: phase-in substances Tiered approach for registration • 2,600 substances > 1,000 MT + CMR • 2,900 substances 100 – 1,000 MT • 4,600 substances 10 – 100 MT 20,000 substances 1 – 10 MT There will be one pre-registration and consortia building opportunity (SIEF formation) before data collection starts.

  7. REACH: Exemptions • Substances under PPORD are exempted for 5 – 10 years • medicinal products including intermediates • waste • foodstuffs • pesticides • radioactive substances • substances in transit - customs supervision • cosmetics • Polymers are exempted (for the moment) .

  8. NEW chemical guideline (67/548/EEC) amended REACH: Time schedule Registration Phase - in substances Phase - in substances 1 – 10 t/y 10 – 100 t/y Phase - in substances Entry into force (EC 1907/2006) 100 – 1000 t/y Phase - in substances > 1000 t/y > 100 t/y + R50/53 > 1 t/y + CMR - Set up Agency Pre - registration 1 June 1 June 1 Dec. 1 Dec. 1June 1June 2007 2008 2008 2010 2013 2018

  9. Data requirements for phase-in substances * Requires a test plan submitted to ECHA for any additional studies from Annex IX or X CSR: Chemical Safety Report

  10. Who is responsible • Manufacturer of chemicals in the EU • Importers of chemicals, products and articles • Only representatives (OR) for non-EU manufacturers Other players: • Third party representatives • Downstream users

  11. 1- 10 MT/y (Annex VII) • Physico-chemical properties • Acute toxicity • Environmental toxicity and biodegradation • Rough costs: € 50,000 - € 65,000 or minimum $75,000

  12. 10 – 100 MT/y (Annex VIII) • Additional acute toxicity • Repeated dose toxicity • Reproductive toxicity • Additional environmental toxicity and behaviour • Rough costs: € 180,000 - € 220,000 or minimum $270,000

  13. 100 – 1,000 t/y (Annex IX) • Additional physico-chemical • Further repeated dose toxicity • Long-term aquatic toxicity • Degradation and e-fate behaviour • Terrestrial toxicity • Rough costs: € 550,000 – € 1,000,000 minimum $825,000

  14. > 1,000 MT/y (Annex X) Only after approval by authorities: • Additional long-term toxicity • Additional long-term aquatic toxicity • Additional terrestrial toxicity • Rough costs: € 1,300,000 mimimum $2,000,000

  15. Pre-registration Approaches To be done between 1 June and 1 December 2008

  16. What is needed to pre-register a substance: • Registration number (EINECS/CAS) • Chemical name (IUCLID or CAS) • Registrant/Contact information • Registration deadline and tonnage • Information on similar substances for QSAR and potential read-across • Must submit via REACH-IT portal

  17. Prepare for SIEF activities • Determine value of data you own • Decide on required role in consortia (lead, active or passive member) • Decide on sharing company confidential information (composition data, use information) • Advise downstream users of REACH conformance

  18. Test plan: • Data gaps based on volume needs (Annex VII + VIII) • Data needs based on scientific or use considerations for Annex IX + X end-points • Data needs based on the outcome of the CSA/CSR • What can be waived using Annex XI

  19. After Pre-registration • Companies who have pre-registered a substance will automatically become listed on the pre-SIEF page (REACH-IT) of this substance. • To initiate discussions after pre-registration, a pre-registrant can volunteer on the pre-SIEF page to become SIEF formation facilitator . • ECHA will publish by 1 January 2009, a list of pre-registered substances on its website. The list will comprise of all substances that have been pre-registered by 1 December 2008. For each substance the following information is displayed: • Substance identification: EINECS number, CAS number and names of the substance • Substance identification of the similar substances, if applicable • The first envisaged registration deadline

  20. Registration Technical Dossier: • Annex VII: ± € 3,500 • Annex VIII: ± € 15,000 • Annex IX: ± € 30,000 • Annex X: ± € 39,000 Based on setting the economic values and making robust summaries of one study per endpoint. The estimated time for a substance imported/produced in Europe above 100 MT, is a worst case estimate as only data from Annex VII and VIII are compulsory to report .

  21. Annex XI: what’s in it? • Testing does not appear scientifically necessary • Use existing (non-GLP) data • Use historical human data • Weight of evidence • (Q)SAR possibilities • In vitro methods • Grouping and read-across • Testing is technically not possible • Substance-tailored exposure-driven testing

  22. REACH and new chemicals(non-phase-in substances) • Changing of notification levels • < 1 ton: exempt • 1-10 tons: limited testing (Annex VII) • > 10 tons: full package (Annex VII + VIII) plus a test plan if > 100 tons • Introduction of in-vitro testing • Introduction of computer models • Introduction of read-across
