Module 26, REACH Inquiries Under Article 26
GB REACH came into force on the 1st January 2021, bringing with it many duties and deadlines for industry. A key part of the transition was the Downstream User Import Notification (DUIN) which allowed those importing from the EU to continue import while getting ready for future GB Registrations.
Those manufacturing substances in the EU or UK for the first time or importing for the first time have to perform immediate Registrations.
For both EU and GB REACH, the first step in the Registration process is the Article 26 Inquiry and although relatively easy to do, there are many pitfalls in terms of preparing the dossier and ensuring suitable supporting analytical data.
For both EU and GB REACH, the first step in the Registration process is the Article 26 Inquiry and although relatively easy to do, there are many pitfalls in terms of preparing the dossier and ensuring suitable supporting analytical data.
This course, delivered live online over two consecutive mornings, aims to cover the practicalities and theory of the first steps of REACH Registration and to consider what happens after the Inquiry.
By the end of this session delegates will be able to make an Article 26 inquiry in IUCLID and submit it via the Comply with REACH website. The dossier is the same as needed for EU REACH in case of a need to export to the EU.
Delegates will need the use of a laptop with IUCLID pre-loaded. Ideally, they should have login details if they would like to use their own Comply with REACH / REACH-IT accounts. A training account can be used for those that do not have access to one.
During the practical session, we will demonstrate IUCLID software and spend time discussing the types of analytical data needed and relevance for different types of substance. Many Inquiries are rejected due to a lack of suitable interpretation of analysis to confirm substance identity and purity.
Who Should Attend?
The module is designed for those involved in REACH and the introduction of new substances onto the market.
Those attending should already understand the broad concepts of chemical supply legislation
Ideally, those attending should have the IUCLID software downloaded to be able try working with it as part of the practical support.
Benefits Of Attending
Attendance will help ensure that you are up to date with the requirements for the Registration of substances in UK and EU. To ensure the most effective training with optimum involvement in participative exercises, there will be a limit of 16 on the number attending.
Module 26 is an introductory course suitable for those with no prior knowledge of REACH or IUCLID software.

Delegate Feedback
Comments from delegates attending previous CHCS courses:
“Mixture of lecturing and practical demonstrations. Mark is always a good trainer, easy to understand and a good pace.”
“Good mix of knowledge and experience of the presenter with using the IUCLID system”
“Good practical insight to process and explanation of terms used.”
“Good general insights into the UK REACH Inquiry process.”
Module Presentation
We will deliver this training using online training software, which we have used successfully for other CHCS training courses. You can use the software, free-of-charge on Windows, Macs, smartphones and tablets.
The sessions will run live and delegates can interact with the tutor and other delegates using the online software. The tutor will use a PowerPoint presentation, just as they would in face-to-face training. We will provide you with copies of the presentation and all other supporting documentation in advance of the training, by email.
