What is REACH?
The European Union Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (EC 1907/2006). Manufacturers and importers placing a substance on the EU market at one tonne or more per year generally must register it with the European Chemicals Agency, subject to exemptions such as those for certain research and development uses. REACH also sets rules for Safety Data Sheets, restrictions and substances of very high concern.
