Norms & Regulations

REACH, which stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, is a pivotal piece of European Union legislation established in 2007. Its primary purpose is to safeguard human health and the environment by regulating the production and use of chemical substances. The law obliges companies to collect and share comprehensive data about the chemicals they manufacture or import, ensuring these substances are handled safely across various applications.

The Importance of REACH
REACH serves as a cornerstone for chemical safety across Europe. It helps govern how chemical substances are assessed and managed, reducing potential risks.

Key functions of the regulation include:

• Chemical Registration: Businesses must report substances that are produced or imported in quantities above one metric ton annually.

• Risk Assessment: Each substance undergoes rigorous scientific evaluation to determine its safety.

• Regulated Use and Bans: Substances that pose serious risks are either restricted or require special authorization to be used, helping to limit their impact on health and the environment.
