Changes in tonnage band
Article 3
1. In the case of a change falling within point (c) of Article 22(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 that results in a higher tonnage band, the registration shall be updated and submitted to the Agency by no later than 3 months from the following date: (a) in a case where new data is generated for an update derived from the application of Annex VII or Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the date when all the final test reports needed for the update have been received; (b) in a case not falling within point (a), the date when the higher tonnage band is reached. For cases referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph, a contract negotiation with a testing laboratory shall be initiated for all the relevant tests by no later than 3 months from the date when the higher tonnage band is reached. The deadlines specified in paragraph 1 of this Article apply without prejudice to the obligation of a registrant to inform immediately the Agency of the additional information he would require, as soon as the higher tonnage band is reached, in accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. 2. In the case of a change falling within point (c) of Article 22(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 that involves cessation of manufacture or import, the registration shall be updated and submitted to the Agency by no later than 3 months from the date when manufacture or import ceased. 3. Paragraph 1 of this Article does not apply if the change occurs as a result of the registrant restarting manufacture or import in accordance with Article 50(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. Instead, in that situation, the registration shall be updated and submitted to the Agency before manufacture or import is restarted.
