REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals
REACH requires almost all chemical substances sold in the EU to be registered, and obliges industry to have a safety evaluation and information registration regarding all substances that are subject to regulation.
It will not only affect chemicals as such. Articles, i. e. goods, that are put in circulation on the EU market must not pose a hazard due to substances that may be released.
REACH went into effect on June 1st, 2007. The ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) was established in Helsinki, Finland and will start registration processes in 2008.
The aim of REACH
To Improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals.
Who is subject to REACH?
It is not only manufacturers and importers of chemical substances who are obliged to register and report the actual chemical substances they handle; manufacturers of articles containing chemical substances are also required to do the same.
