<p>The principle of ‘one substance, one registration’ is a core principle underpinning
REACH. The Government has been clear that this principle and therefore the capacity
for submission of joint registrations will be retained under UK REACH. This principle
will help reduce the amount of testing required to demonstrate safe use and management
of a given chemical. We have worked with industry stakeholders one-to-one and in a
series of workshops to develop this joint registration process, the supporting IT
functionality and published written guidance to support the submission of joint dossiers.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government is not able to influence the terms under which data currently
used for the purposes of EU REACH registrations can be accessed by UK companies in
order to support their registrations under UK REACH. Although this is a matter for
commercial negotiations, we will continue to work with and encourage industry to facilitate
data sharing arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently working with key trade associations
to develop data sharing guidance, which can be targeted directly to the trade associations’
members and networks. Together this guidance will be used by industry to develop future
data sharing arrangements.</p>
