ECHA has started revoking registration numbers assigned to registrants who declared incorrect SME status and did not pay the appropriate registration fee. 

 

18 Nov 2012, ECHA has revoked a number of registration numbers and this concerns registrants who have incorrectly claimed to be entitled to a fee reduction for micro, small or medium-sized enterprises and did not pay the appropriate registration fee despite repeated reminders. The companies in question have been informed that their registration number is no longer valid and that they can no longer rely on the registration to manufacture or import the substance concerned in quantities above one tonne per annum.
