Summary:

REACH is coming and it's here to stay. Hailed at the most intrusive piece of legislation to hit the European chemicals supply chain, its impact will be widespread and is likely to catalyse changes in chemicals policies in many other countries. While the chemicals industry supports the goals of REACH, its implementation will be all-consuming. The impact-assessment battle continues, but whether you're an importer, distributor, formulator or downstream user, you need to know what you're up against.The new regulations promise to bring about improvements in innovation and competitiveness in the EU
