Overview
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is the European Union regulation EC No 1907/2006. It applies to all chemical substances manufactured, imported, or used in the EU, whether on their own, in mixtures, or in articles.
Manufacturers and importers must register substances in quantities of one tonne or more per year. The registration dossier is submitted electronically via REACH-IT to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Key Components
- Registration: Mandatory for substances ≥1 tonne/year
- Evaluation: ECHA assesses dossier quality and substance risks
- Authorization: SVHCs require specific approval for use
- Restriction: Annex XVII lists restricted substances and conditions
- Supply Chain Communication: SDS and hazard data must be shared
