REACH Regulations

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Union regulation that manages the safety of chemicals used in products. It requires companies to identify and register the chemicals they produce or import, assess their risks, and ensure proper handling. The aim is to protect human health and the environment by controlling hazardous substances and promoting safer alternatives. Essentially, REACH helps Regulators and companies work together to ensure chemicals are used responsibly throughout their lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal, fostering innovation while minimizing potential harm.
