» REACh Regulation
Chemicals and chemical substances
REACh is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use, which aims to ensure a high level of protection not only for the human health, but also for the environment. REACh is the acronym for the EC Regulation 1907/2006, concerning Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemical substances. Another fourth stage needs to be added to the previous three: Restriction, whereby you can limit the use, production or marketing of certain substances or chemicals.
