REACH is an EU regulation, which came into force on 1 June 2007, to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed from chemicals.

The next REACH deadline is May 31, 2018. REACH registration requires manufacturers and importers to gather information on the properties of the chemical substances contained in their products.
