The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is an European Union (EU) initiative to improve the protection of human health and the environment through better identification of the properties of chemical substances. The law came into effect on June 1, 2007, simplifying the 40 existing pieces of legislation into a single system of regulations for all chemicals. It provides information regarding chemicals acute and long-term effects.
To continue manufacturing/importing substances on the EU market after December 1, 2008, manufacturers and importers must’ve pre-registered these chemicals between June 1 and December 1, 2008. The Pre-registration data includes your identity and contact information, the estimated imported tonnage and expected registration deadline, and the EINECS and CAS numbers for each substance. This data will be used by the European Chemicals Agency (ACHA) to allow companies registering the same substances to share the relevant data. The most significant impact of REACH is to mandate chemical manufacturers and importers to determine the hazardous properties through testing of thousands of older industrial chemicals.
