About REACH
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) was adopted on 18 December 2006 by the Council of the European Union and entered into force on 1 June 2007. It establishes a uniform registration system for chemical substances that are manufactured in or imported into the EU in quantities of at least one tonne per year per substance.
Registration
Manufacturers and importers are required to submit a dossier containing data on substance hazards, risk evaluation and appropriate risk management measures.
Evaluation
The evaluation process ensures that dossiers comply with the regulation, that the data submitted are valid, and that the substance can be used safely with respect to human health and the environment.
Authorisation
Substances of very high concern (SVHC) are subject to authorisation, ensuring that the risks resulting from their use are adequately controlled or progressively replaced by suitable alternatives.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), headquartered in Helsinki, manages the technical and administrative aspects of REACH. The related CLP regulation governs the classification, labelling and packaging of substances based on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
