More guidance on waivers for certificate applications

Expanded guidance on information waivers that you can request in an assessment certificate application

Information waivers refer to the omission of mandatory information about a chemical in a certificate application. You can request an information waiver in your application, but you must provide a valid reason or justification for not providing the information.

Our guidance covers:

• waiver types and pre-filled justifications that are available to select in IUCLID6 relating to physical and chemical properties, environment related endpoints and human health related endpoints
• justifications that we would consider for not submitting required information on polymers, including polymers of low concern (PLC)
• justifications that we would consider if your reason for a waiver is not an available option in IUCLID6 (in this case you should select ‘Other justification’).
