Status of preparation for the Registration

The Activated Carbon Consortium is actively preparing the Registration of both dossiers.

The consortium has appointed Royal Haskoning as a Consultant for the preparation of the technical dossiers and the financial and administrative management.

Dossiers have been submitted to ECHA.

The main testing of carbon samples has been carried out by Harlan laboratories in Switzerland. Not all tests in REACH Annexes VII and VIII are being performed. Where possible, waivers will be included in the dossiers, and read across between both substances is foreseen. This serves to control costs and minimize the number test animals being used.

Besides testing, several other activities necessary for the completion of the dossiers are being conducted.
