Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006

Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, commonly known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), is a European Union law aimed at improving the protection of human health and the environment from hazardous chemicals. It requires companies to register chemicals they produce or import, providing data on their safety and potential effects. This regulation promotes safer use of chemicals, encourages alternatives to dangerous substances, and enhances transparency about chemical risks in products. Essentially, REACH helps ensure that chemicals in the market are safe for people and the environment.
