EU REGULATIONS

Summary
This eDossier offers a comprehensive analysis of the European Union's REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals), a fundamental component of EU chemicals policy.
It explores the regulatory framework designed to protect human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness and innovation of the EU chemical industry.
The eDossier delves into the key elements of REACH, including the obligations for manufacturers and importers to register substances produced or imported in quantities of one tonne or more per year with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
It examines the processes of substance evaluation, aimed at clarifying concerns for human health or the environment, and outlines the criteria and procedures for the authorisation and restriction of substances of very high concern (SVHCs), such as carcinogens, mutagens, and endocrine disruptors.
Additionally, the eDossier highlights recent developments and initiatives related to REACH, including the ongoing revision efforts to align the regulation with the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. It discusses proposed changes to improve the regulation's effectiveness, such as enhancing data requirements, accelerating the assessment and management of hazardous chemicals, and promoting the use of safer alternatives and sustainable chemicals.
The eDossier addresses the practical implications of REACH for businesses, including compliance strategies, data sharing obligations, communication within the supply chain, and the impact on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It also explores the role of REACH in fostering innovation, substitution of hazardous substances, and its influence on international trade and global chemical management policies.
By providing in-depth information on current legislative work, regulatory procedures, and policy debates, this eDossier equips stakeholders—including manufacturers, importers, downstream users, policymakers, and environmental and health organizations—with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of EU chemical regulation.
It also enables informed engagement with European institutions and contributes to shaping the future of chemicals policy in the EU.
