REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European regulation (regulation n°1907/2006) that came into force in 2007 to secure the manufacture and use of chemical substances in European industry. Since May 2018 it is no longer possible to manufacture or import substances if they have not been registered. The main objectives of this regulation are -To protect human health and the environment from the potential risks of chemical substances -To establish identical and transparent information on the nature and risks of substances, on their own or in a mixture, from the supplier to the final customer;
