In order to support and promote research and development as regards alternatives to substances of concern, and to promote the uptake of such alternatives, the ECHA should establish and manage a repository with data on alternatives to potential substances of concern, collect data that are made available by the Commission, Agencies and, as the case may be, competent authorities of the Member States, and incorporate that database into the common data platform as a dedicated service. The ECHA should also facilitate the voluntary submission by interested parties of information on alternatives to substances of concern, including information on alternative technologies or on materials not requiring such substances.
