FMM650 REACH
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is a European Union regulation dating from 18 December 2006.
Description of REACH
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), a cornerstone EU regulation, elevates standards for human and environmental safety while bolstering the competitiveness of the chemicals industry. It drives innovation in hazard assessment, minimizing reliance on animal testing. Touching every facet of life, from industrial processes to household products, REACH mandates that companies shoulder the responsibility of identifying and managing substance risks. Compliance requires transparent communication with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and end-users. With a focus on substitution, REACH aims to phase out hazardous substances over time. Since its inception in 2007, REACH has reshaped the chemical landscape across the EU.
