In a case falling within point (h) of Article 22(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the registration shall be updated to include the testing proposal and submitted to the Agency by no later than 6 months from the date when the registrant identifies the need to perform one or more of the tests listed in Annex IX or X to that Regulation.

The deadline specified in paragraph 1 of this Article shall not apply in the case of a testing proposal developed as part of a testing strategy addressing a group of substances. Instead, in that situation the relevant registrations shall be updated and submitted to the Agency by no later than 12 months from the date when the registrant or registrants identify the need to perform one or more of the tests listed in Annex IX or X to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
