¹ No­ti­fi­ers must provide the No­ti­fic­a­tion Au­thor­ity with the fol­low­ing ad­di­tion­al in­form­a­tion based on the quant­ity placed on the mar­ket:

a.

for quant­it­ies of 10 tonnes per year or more: the in­form­a­tion spe­cified in An­nex 4 num­ber 9 let­ter b and num­ber 10 let­ter b and a chem­ic­al safety re­port in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 28;

b.

for quant­it­ies of 100 tonnes per year or more: the in­form­a­tion spe­cified in An­nex 4 num­ber 8 let­ter b, num­ber 9 let­ter c and num­ber 10 let­ter c and a chem­ic­al safety re­port in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 28;

c.

for quant­it­ies of 1,000 tonnes per year or more: the in­form­a­tion spe­cified in An­nex 4 num­ber 9 let­ter d and num­ber 10 let­ter d and a chem­ic­al safety re­port in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle28.

² After re­ceiv­ing the in­form­a­tion spe­cified in Art­icle 46 para­graph 1 let­ter b, the No­ti­fic­a­tion Au­thor­ity shall, in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 31 para­graph 3⁹⁰, in­form the no­ti­fi­er of the data that it already holds.

³ If the risks as­so­ci­ated with a giv­en sub­stance can­not be ad­equately as­sessed, the No­ti­fic­a­tion Au­thor­ity shall, if so re­ques­ted by an as­sess­ment au­thor­ity, re­quire the no­ti­fi­er to sub­mit ad­di­tion­al in­form­a­tion or carry out ad­di­tion­al tests re­lat­ing to the sub­stance or its trans­form­a­tion products.

⁴ The No­ti­fic­a­tion Au­thor­ity, after con­sult­ing the no­ti­fi­er and with the agree­ment of the as­sess­ment au­thor­it­ies, shall draw up a timetable for the per­form­ance of the ad­di­tion­al tests.

⁵ If the no­ti­fi­er fails to sub­mit the ad­di­tion­al test re­ports by the spe­cified dead­line, the No­ti­fic­a­tion Au­thor­ity may ar­range for the re­quired tests to be car­ried out at the no­ti­fi­er’s ex­pense and, if ne­ces­sary, pro­hib­it the no­ti­fi­er from con­tinu­ing to place the sub­stance on the mar­ket.
