Reach

Single system for the registration, evaluation and authorisation of all chemical substances manufactured, imported or used in products or processes in the EU. Companies that manufacture, import or use such substances in excess of one tonne per annum, will be required to register the substance with a central competent authority. A company, if unprepared, could discover that crucial raw materials are no longer available or that the use of the raw material is simply no longer permitted.

Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 and Directive 2006/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 amending Council Directive 67/548/EEC were published in the Official Journal on 30 December 2006.
