REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals)

REACH is a European regulation that manages the risks of chemicals used in products. It requires companies to register the chemicals they handle, evaluate their safety, and ensure they won’t harm human health or the environment. The regulation also authorizes or restricts the use of certain hazardous chemicals, promoting safer alternatives. Overall, REACH aims to protect people and nature by regulating chemical substances, encouraging industries to be responsible and transparent about the chemicals they produce and use in everyday products.
