REACH

REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals. It is a European Union regulation aimed at ensuring the safe use of chemicals to protect human health and the environment. Under REACH, companies must provide information about the chemicals they manufacture or import, including their risks and safe handling methods. The regulation also allows authorities to restrict or ban hazardous substances. By promoting transparency about chemical safety, REACH helps consumers make informed choices and encourages industries to develop safer alternatives to harmful chemicals.
