Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European regulation designed to ensure the safe use of chemicals. It requires companies to assess and manage the risks associated with their chemical products, providing authorities with information on their properties and potential hazards. This process helps protect human health and the environment by controlling the production, sale, and use of dangerous substances. Essentially, REACH promotes safer chemical practices while allowing beneficial chemicals to be used responsibly, fostering innovation and sustainability.
