Substances appearing in the list of notified substances

20.—(1) A person who makes a notification under regulation 4 or 6(1) or

(2) may at the time of making the notification—

(a) in the case of a substance that is not a dangerous substance, request the competent authority to require the European Commission to enter it in ELINCS in the form of its trade name for the maximum of 3 years from the date of the entry; or

(b) in the case of a substance which is a dangerous substance, request the competent authority to require the European Commission to enter it in ELINCS in the form of its trade name until such time as that substance has been introduced into Annex I of the Directive; and in either case the competent authority shall accede to that request.

(2) In a case in which—

(a) a request had been made in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (1); and

(b) the notifier considers that the publication of the chemical name in the IUPAC nomenclature itself could reveal information concerning the commercial exploitation or manufacture of the substance,

the notifier may request the competent authority to require the European Commission to enter it in ELINCS in the form of its trade name for so long as the competent authority sees fit, and in such a case the competent authority shall accede to that request unless it considers that the publication of the chemical name in the IUPAC nomenclature itself could not reveal information concerning the commercial exploitation or manufacture of the substance.
