Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many substances have been (a) grandfathered and (b) notified to UK REACH and are subject to the extended data submission deadlines in the REACH (Amendment) Regulations 2023 in the (i) one-ten, (ii) 10-100, (iii) 100-1,000 and (iv) over 1,000 tonnes per year band.

The following table shows the number of substances by tonnage band notified as of 1 August 2023 to the Health and Safety Executive as (a) having a grandfathered registration and / or (b) being included in a Downstream User Import Notification (DUIN). Each distinct substance appears no more than once in each column; where the same substance was notified multiple times it is listed in the highest notified tonnage band. Where an individual substance has been notified as having both a grandfathered registration and being subject to a DUIN it will appear once in each column.

The tonnage band is not a legal requirement of notification but will be confirmed when notifications proceed to full registration.

The number of substances that are subject to full registration may be lower than the numbers set out above, as full registration is dependent on firms’ commercial decisions.
