Information to ECHA indicating the failure to reach an agreement on who shall perform a test

Pursuant to Article 30(2) of the REACH Regulation, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) provides potential registrants, within a SIEF (Substance Information Exchange Forum), with the opportunity to inform ECHA of the failure to reach an agreement on who shall perform a test if such a test is not available within the SIEF. Tests subject to this Article are not part of the testing proposals to be submitted pursuant to Article 10(a)(ix). Please note that according to this procedure only those SIEF participants who require a study shall contribute to the costs for the elaboration of the study. So, the participants who do not see as necessary to conduct a study are not required to contribute to the costs.
