[X1 TITLE VI U.K. EVALUATION

CHAPTER 3 U.K. Evaluation of intermediates

Article 49 U.K. Further information on on-site isolated intermediates

For on-site isolated intermediates that are used in strictly controlled conditions, neither dossier nor substance evaluation shall apply. However, where the [F1Agency] considers that a risk to human health or the environment, equivalent to the level of concern arising from the use of substances meeting the criteria in Article 57, arises from the use of an on-site isolated intermediate and that risk is not properly controlled, it may:

(a)

require the registrant to submit further information directly related to the risk identified. This request shall be accompanied by a written justification;

(b)

examine any information submitted and, if necessary, recommend any appropriate risk reduction measures to address the risks identified in relation to the site in question.

[F2Where the appropriate authority in relation to the part of Great Britain where the site is located considers that a risk to human health or the environment, equivalent to the level of concern arising from the use of substances meeting the criteria in Article 57, arises from the use of an on-site isolated intermediate and that risk is not properly controlled, that appropriate authority may request the Agency to take the steps set out in points (a) and (b) of the first paragraph.

The Agency must inform the appropriate authorities that request them of the results of an assessment under this Article.] ]
