答案(中文)
根据 REACH 法规,注册人和申请人可享受针对微型、小型和中型企业 (SME) 设立的减费政策。公司在提交卷宗时需声明其 SME 规模,ECHA 将据此开具发票。ECHA 随后会进行事后评估,以验证公司规模的准确性。SME 验证流程至关重要,它能确保只有真正的 SME 才能享受减费,并确保收取的费用准确无误。在 REACH-IT 中声明 SME 身份之前,公司应熟悉委员会建议 2003/361/EC 中关于 SME 定义的规则。公司应将文件证据上传至其 REACH-IT 帐户,以支持 SME 身份声明。这仅适用于与 SME 费用减免相关的提交。文件证据应包括:提交时所有权结构(上游、下游)的信息;提交前最近两个会计期间的财务报表(如有合并报表)及其附注。官方证明/信息,用于确认提交前最近两个会计期间的平均员工人数。所有合作伙伴和关联企业均应提供上述文件,具体定义见上述委员会建议第3条。对于唯一代表,评估中小企业减免是否适用,将参考其所代表的非欧盟公司及其关联企业和合作伙伴的员工人数、营业额和资产负债表信息。所有上传至REACH-IT的文件均由欧洲化学品管理局(ECHA)保密处理,并仅用于规模验证。出于透明度和可追溯性的考虑,文件无法删除。但您可以在后期将补充文件添加到您的REACH-IT帐户。文件不会立即进行评估,只有在启动规模验证流程后才会进行评估。ECHA接受的文件证据清单可在“中小企业验证”页面找到。有关如何上传文件的说明以及其他有关REACH-IT的有用信息,请参阅“探索REACH-IT指南”。有关公司规模评估的更多信息以及相关法规的链接,请参阅 REACH 和 CLP 下的中小企业费用 - 页
Answer (EN)
Under REACH, registrants and applicants can benefit from reduced fees established for micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Companies declare their SME size at the time of dossier submission, based on which ECHA issues an invoice. At a later stage, ECHA carries out an ex-post assessment, to verify the correctness of the company size. The SME verification process is important to ensure that only genuine SMEs benefit from the reduced fees and that correct fees are collected.
Before declaring the SME status in REACH-IT, companies should be familiar with the rules set by the Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC on SME definition.
Companies should upload documentary evidence to their REACH-IT account to support SME status claims. This is only required for those submissions, which are related to SME fee reductions.
The documentary evidence should include:
Information about the ownership structure (upstream, downstream) at the time of the submission.
The financial statements (consolidated, if available) together with accompanying notes for the two latest accounting periods before the time of the submission.
Official certificate/information confirming the average number of employees for each of the two latest accounting periods before the time of submission.
The documents listed above shall be provided for all partner and linked enterprises, as defined by Article 3 of the aforementioned Commission Recommendation.
In case of Only Representatives, the assessment on whether the SME reduction applies is done by reference to the headcount, turnover and balance sheet information of the non-EU company represented and its linked and partner enterprises.
All documents uploaded to REACH-IT are treated confidentially by ECHA and used exclusively for size verification purposes. For transparency and traceability reasons, documents cannot be deleted. It is, however, possible to add supplementary documentation to your REACH-IT account at a later stage. The documentation is not assessed immediately, but only once the size verification process has been initiated.
The list of documentary evidence accepted by ECHA can be found in SME verification -page.
