REACH - "Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals"

What is REACH?

REACH (REGULATION concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is the abbreviation of EU Regulation "Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals". It is a chemical regulatory system established by the European Union and implemented on June 1, 2007.

The European Parliament and the European Council passed the new EU chemical management law, namely the Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) on December 13 and December 18, 2006 respectively. The regulation will come into force on June 1, 2007.

According to the EU REACH regulations, from June 1, 2018, unregistered chemicals with an annual import volume of more than 1 ton will not be allowed to be placed on the EU market.
