REACH is an EC regulation (EC 1907/2006) on chemicals. It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemical substances. The aim of REACH is to improve the identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, the innovative capability of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more substances are registered.
