What is REACH?

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is a European Union Regulation that addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment.

REACH is designed to achieve the following:

• Registration of basic information on chemical substances submitted by companies to a central database
• Evaluation of the registered information to determine hazards and risks
• Authorisation requirements imposed on the use of high-concern substances
• Restriction of a substance’s use if it poses an unacceptable risk to health or the environment

In achieving these objectives, REACH hopes to have these positive affects:

• To protect human health and the environment from the use of chemicals
• To make European manufacturers and importers responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with the chemicals they place on the EU market
• To allow the free movement of substances on the EU market
• To enhance innovation and competition in the EU chemicals industry
• To promote the use of alternative methods for assessing hazardous properties of substances
