a.⁷⁸

the quant­ity which the no­ti­fi­er in­tends to place on the mar­ket;

a tech­nic­al dossier with the fol­low­ing in­form­a­tion fur­ther spe­cified in An­nex 4:

1.

the iden­tity of the no­ti­fi­er,

2.

the iden­tity of the sub­stance,

3.

4.

clas­si­fic­a­tion and la­belling,

5.

guid­ance on safe use,

6.

ex­pos­ure as­sess­ment,

7.

ro­bust study sum­mar­ies and fur­ther data on the phys­ic­al and chem­ic­al prop­er­ties,

8.

ro­bust study sum­mar­ies with re­gard to the prop­er­ties dan­ger­ous to health,

9.

ro­bust study sum­mar­ies with re­gard to the prop­er­ties dan­ger­ous to the en­vir­on­ment;

c.

if the quant­ity placed on the mar­ket⁷⁹ amounts to 10 tonnes per year or more: a chem­ic­al safety re­port in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 28;

d.

a pro­posed safety data sheet in the case of dan­ger­ous sub­stances or PBT or vPvB sub­stances;

e.⁸⁰

all avail­able doc­u­ments and in­form­a­tion on the prop­er­ties, ex­pos­ure and the ad­verse ef­fects of the sub­stance on hu­mans and the en­vir­on­ment, in­so­far as these are not already ap­par­ent from the tech­nic­al dossier re­ferred to in let­ter b.
