REACH Regulation EC 1907/2006
REACH is the Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. It entered
into force on 1st June 2007. It streamlines and improves the former legislative framework on chemicals of the European Union (EU).
The
main aims of REACH are to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by
chemicals, the promotion of alternative test methods, the free circulation of substances on the internal market and enhancing competitiveness
and innovation.
REACH makes industry responsible for assessing and managing the risks posed by chemicals and providing
appropriate safety information to their users. In parallel, the European Union can take additional measures on highly dangerous substances,
where there is a need for complementing action at EU level.
