Under the mechanism for study notifications established by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, where registrants are required to perform studies to generate data in accordance with requirements in Annexes IX and X to that Regulation, they are first to submit a testing proposal to the ECHA. The ECHA then issues a decision requiring them to perform a study. Such decisions can also be issued as an outcome of a compliance check or substance evaluation under that Regulation. In order to increase the transparency and traceability and to facilitate effective monitoring of studies commissioned or carried out pursuant to a decision of the ECHA in accordance with Articles 40, 41 or 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, business operators should specify in their notifications of studies under this Regulation that those studies are being commissioned or carried out in compliance with those decisions.
