The European Union introduced REACH to heighten the safeguarding of human health and the environment from hazardous chemicals, while also bolstering the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. In addition, REACH endorses alternative methods for hazard assessment of substances, curbing the need for animal testing.
Primarily, REACH covers all chemical substances, including those utilized in industrial processes and household items like cleaning agents, paints, furniture, clothes, and electrical devices. Hence, the regulation affects numerous firms across the EU.
