REACH - Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals

REACH is a new European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals. It came into being on 1st June 2007 and replaces a number of European Directives and Regulations with a single system.

The main aims to this regulation are:

  • To provide a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the use of chemicals.
  • To make the people who place chemicals on the market (manufacturers and importers) responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with their use.
  • To allow the free movement of substances on the EU market.
  • To enhance innovation in and the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry.
  • To promote the use of alternative methods for the assessment of the hazardous properties of substances e.g. quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and read across.

Almost every business within the UK will have a responsibility under REACH so to establish a registration system for chemical substances that requires the traceability of chemicals and identification of substances within products.

With the implementation of REACH, managing information about suppliers, producers and chemicals throughout your supply chain has now become imperative.
