REACH Services: What T&E can do for you |
| The Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is the European Community Regulation that will require an evaluation of thousands of substances for potential risks to human health and/or the environment. Under this regulation much more data will become publicly available about the hazards of chemical substances. These will be used by industry scientists and regulators to identify and evaluate the risks of using chemicals throughout their life-cycle, either leading to pre- arket approval (Authorization) or to phase-out (Restriction). |
