This section is specific to REACH. It is aimed at storing specific information to apply for an authorisation of use in case the Substance is listed in Annex XIV of the regulation ("List of substances subject to authorisation"). This information will then be compiled with Legal entity information, Substance identification and the Chemical Safety Report - if appropriate - to prepare an application for authorisation for one or several uses.

This section is a repeatable block section. It enables to specify multiple applications for authorisation. Click the green Plus button to open the repeatable block. If more than one application for authorisation has to be specified, add a new block for each one.

Set the confidentiality flag and regulatory purpose. For a description of these flags see chapter D.4.5.7 Flags used for filtering data.

Request for authorisation

This subsection is repeatable. It enables to regroup several uses of the Substance in the same application provided that all subsequent information (i.e. analysis of the alternatives, socio-economic analysis, substitution plan, etc.) is valid for all the regrouped uses. Click the green Plus button to open the repeatable block and describe a use for which the application is intended. An empty block is now ready to be filled in. If more than one use needs to be specified, add a new block for each one.

Use concerned by the request: Indicate the use of the substance. If appropriate, use the combination Application technique / Use category / Industry category (as described in chapter E.3.5 Identified uses and exposure scenarios) to better categorise the use.

Analysis of the alternatives

Describe the analysis of the alternatives considering their risks and the technical and economic feasibility of substitution. The analysis of the alternative should include all appropriate information about any relevant research and development activities made by you.

Socio-economic analysis

The socio-economic analysis (SEA) shall be provided following the format and the "Technical Guidance Document on carrying out a Socio-Economic Analysis or input for one" made by the European Chemical Agency (www.echa.eu) on preparation of SEAs.

Remarks: If necessary provide any additional comment here.

Document: Add the SEA documentation by clicking the Attachment button and the green Plus button from the context menu appearing. Specify the path and the name of the file to be inserted and indicate any remarks if appropriate in the Properties window.

Substitution plan

If suitable alternatives are available, attach the substitution plan foreseen, including a timetable for your proposed actions.

Remarks: If necessary provide any additional comment here.

Document: Attach the substitution plan document by clicking the Attachment button and the green Plus button from the context menu appearing. Specify the path and the name of the file to be inserted and indicate any remarks if appropriate in the Properties window.

Justification for not considering risks to human health and environment

Remarks: Enter the justification for not considering risks to human health and the environment arising either from emissions of a substance or discharges of a substance.

Reference to other application of previous authorisations

If you have the permission from a previous applicant who applies for authorisation of the same specific use of your substance, you can refer to the appropriate parts of the previous application submitted. Furthermore if you have the permission form the holder of a previous granted authorisation, you may refer to the appropriate parts of the previous application submitted.

Click green Plus button to open the repeatable block and describe the reference to previous authorisations or other applications for which you have a written permission. An empty block is now ready to be filled in. If more than one reference needs to be specified, add a new block for each one.

Written permission: Select the checkbox only if you have a written permission from the previous applicant.

Remarks: If necessary provide any additional comment on the previous authorisation.
