Letters of Access

The LOA agreement provides access to Consortium data for the purposes of EU- and UK-REACH Registration only, i.e. an LOA holder does not have the right to use Consortium data in the joint registration dossier for other purposes, including REACH Authorisation and compliance with non-EU/UK REACH-like legislation.

Although the Consortium has not yet taken a formal decision on the licensing of data for REACH activities beyond Registration, it can be assumed that non-members requiring access to such data, e.g. in the case of an Application for Authorisation, would be charged an LOA fee.

The Consortium recently revised its legal agreements to facilitate the use of its data for non-EU/UK legislation by Consortium members and their affiliates; non-members requiring access to the Consortium’s data for the purposes of non-EU legislative requirements will need to apply for a Licence to Use (LTU).

Dossier updates

Since the 2010 deadline, Registration dossiers and SDS templates are periodically updated in line with the latest scientific information, and further updates are anticipated. Updated information is only available to existing Consortium members or those paying any supplementary LOA fee as agreed by the Consortium members.
