Regulations of New and Existing Chemical Substances Registration Article 10

When different registrants apply to register the same new chemical substance jointly or sequentially, they may use common data needed for the registration through consultation.The new chemical substance, subjected to the joint registration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, is to be registered according to the Regulations, for which the overall quantity of the joint registration shall be the sum of the individual quantities from each co-registrant.By taking into account the overall manufactured or imported quantity of the new chemical substances registered and approved, the central competent authority may require registrants to apply for the new registration under the designated registration type or to apply for joint registration.For a joint registration that is agreed upon by co-registrants, but for which no agreement has been reached on the cost sharing of the registration data, the central competent authority may determine an average apportionment at the request of the application’s registrants. The registration data can be used after the registrants have paid their respective shares of expenses according to the decision made by the central competent authority.
