Chemicals Law

Chemicals law refers to regulations governing the production, use, and management of chemical substances to protect human health and the environment. It includes rules on the safe handling, labeling, and disposal of chemicals, aiming to prevent accidents and pollution. Key frameworks, like the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) in Europe, require companies to register chemicals and assess their risks. These laws ensure that chemicals are used responsibly, promoting safety standards and encouraging innovation while minimizing harmful effects on society and the ecosystem.
