The Notification of New Substances Regulations 1993

PART B information required for the technical dossier for a notification under regulation 6(1)

Tests under this Part shall be according to methods recognised and recommended by the competent international bodies where such recommendations exist.

If it is not technically possible or if it does not appear scientifically necessary to give information, the reasons shall be clearly stated and subject to acceptance by the competent authority.

The name of the body or bodies responsible for carrying out the studies shall be mentioned.

In addition to the information requested below, member States may, if they consider it necessary for the risk assessment, require that the notifier provides the following additional information:

• vapour pressure,

• daphnia acute toxicity test.

2.0.2	Exposure estimate related to production: working environment, environment
2.1	Proposed uses
	Information given in this section should be sufficient to allow an approximate but realistic estimation of human and environmental exposure to the substances as associated with the proposed/expected uses.
2.1.1	Types of use: description of the function and the desired effects
2.1.1.1	Technological process(es) related to the use of the substance (where known)
2.1.1.2	Exposure estimate(s) related to use (where known): working environment, environment
2.1.1.3	Form under which the substance is marketed: substance, preparation, product
2.1.1.4	Concentration of the substance in marketed preparations and products (where known)
2.1.2	Fields of application with approximate breakdown: industries, farmers and skilled trades, use by the public at large
