(a) information on a substance the extent (individual items) of which, including the results of additional tests or studies depending on the quantity of the substance placed on the market, is set out in Annexes 1 to 3 and 9;
(b) a declaration that:
1. the substance, when it is not a monomer, is manufactured exclusively for chemical treatment, consumed or used; in processing, the substance is transformed into chemically different molecules, not a polymer;
2. the substance is treated at no more than two additional processing sites, i.e. that the substance produced in one undertaking can be transported to one or two other processing undertakings,
3. delivery to the place where the intermediate product is further processed must be made directly by the person requesting registration, not through another supplier;
4. the substance must be strictly sealed throughout the life cycle, that is in the manufacture, transport, purification, cleaning and maintenance of equipment, sampling, analysis, filling and emptying of apparatus or containers, storage or treatment of waste and storage. All functional elements, such as filling holes, emptying devices, shall be included in the relevant process either as a closed design type with a secured leak or as a closed design type with an integrated exhaust system,
5. where exposure may occur, operational and control technologies that minimise emissions shall be available;
6. special procedures, such as rinsing and washing, shall be used for cleaning and maintenance before opening or entering the system,
7. in the event of an accident and where waste treatment, cleaning and maintenance occurs and environmental exposure is likely to occur, operational and control technologies which minimise emissions and resulting exposure shall be used in all cases;
8. There is an internal regulation setting out the task of each employee at work;
9. on the packaging of the substance, the label shall be accompanied by the following text: "Caution - the substance is not yet fully tested,"
10. the whole life cycle of the intermediate product shall be controlled at all places where the intermediate product is treated.
(c) information on a polymer the size of which, depending on the quantity and chemical characteristics of the polymer placed on the market, is set out in Annexes 4 to 8;
(d) reports of tests carried out on a substance or polymer, including the name and address of the institution or institutions which carried out the tests in accordance with the principles of good laboratory practice;

(g) a copy of the administrative fee certificate according to the Administrative Charge3).
(2) When applying for registration of related polymers (homopolymers or copolymers), the results of tests or studies may be submitted with representative samples. The Ministry may request additional testing of additional representative samples.
(3) A group of related polymers is a group of polymers (either homopolymers or copolymers) with different average molecular weights or a different composition resulting from different ratios of monomer units. The difference in the mean molecular weight or composition is not determined by random effects in the production process, but by deliberate changes in the conditions of production, while the production process itself remains the same.
(4) Homopolymer is a polymer consisting of only one type of monomer units. Copolymer is a polymer consisting of more than one type of monomer units.
(5) The information on a substance or polymer referred to in paragraph 1 (a) or (c) shall be provided by the applicant to the Ministry, in addition to paper form, by electronic means using the Data Entry Screens (DES) programme for Windows.
(6) If some of the information required under paragraph 1 (a) or (c) does not have real meaning, taking into account the nature of the substance or polymer, the person shall enter "not to be entered" under the relevant heading.
(7) Where any of the information required under paragraph 1 (a) or (c) is not detectable, taking into account the nature of the substance or polymer, the person shall enter "not detected 'under the appropriate heading and briefly state the reasons for which the information could not be established.
§ 7
