REACH
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a set of regulations developed by the European Union in 2006 and became law in June of 2007. REACH has been described as the most complex environmental law to date. Manufacturers and importers will be required to gather information on the properties of their chemical substances (including chemical substances in mixtures, parts and components), REACH regulation comprises more than 800 pages of legislation and thousands of pages of guidance documents (RIPs-REACH Implementation Projects). Approximately 30,000 chemicals are subject to registration with another 1500 "substances of very high concern" (SVHCs) that will require authorization. ALL INDUSTRIES THAT DO BUSINESS IN OR SUPPLY TO EUROPE ARE AFFECTED BY REACH REGULATIONS.
