Question: Can we have multiple accounts for one company?
Answer: No, each legal entity will have one account. However, any of your Company's employees who would like access to the account can create a sub-account. Just follow these steps:
Question: How do I order and how to do I add the company that will register in my specific regulation?
Answer: First, you will have to log into your account (click on Login / Register ), then look for the substance you are interested in, and the bundle related to your tonnage band needs.
Once done, click on the Add to Basket button just underneath the bundle you want to purchase.
At that stage, you can open the basket that can be found next to your account on the top right corner of the screen. After reviewing the contents of the basket, if you are ready to proceed, just click on Checkout Now.
You will then be able to see the following screen, on which you must select the adequate payment method (either Pay By Card, for amounts below €5'000, or Pay By Bank Transfer)
On the next screen, you can add a Grantee, or select one from a list of from existing ones (taken from your previous orders). You can also add a custom reference, if relevant for your internal purposes.
Note: the Grantee is the company that will be registering the substance under a specific regulation. This Company may or may not be the same as the Account company that is placing the order and paying the invoice. Therefore, please be careful and add the correct details under the Grantee. For instance, if your Legal Entity is the same as that of the Grantee, please simply choose Main Account as a Grantee.
After selecting the Grantee, and ticking the box to acknowledge the Terms and Conditions, you can press on Make payment
When the processing is complete, you will receive an e-mail confirming the order, along with 2 attachments:
Once both are received by ReachCentrum, you will receive an VAT Invoice (as proof of payment) and a Letter of Access.
Important: You can create multiple Grantees, but you may only purchase for one specific Grantee at a time (i.e. Legal Entities that will register under a specific regulation).
Therefore, if you manage an account that is paying for 15 different Grantees, you will need to place 15 separate orders, one for each of these Grantees, separately.
