LESSONS LEARNED FROM REACH IMPLEMENTATION AND THOUGHTS FOR GOING FORWARD TO 2013

摘要

Compliance with the REACH regulations and the attendant requirements found in the regulatory text, Guidance documents and created by Industry organizational efforts was clearly an unprecedented effort. The efforts needed to reach the first registration deadline and the implications of not succeeding were both very significant. It is now time to start the next level of registrations and begin many other compliance activities required in the next 2 years. This effort will require that participants learn from the 2010 experiences to gain efficiencies in their efforts including working together in SIEFS and consortia and accomplishing the technical aspects essential to a successful registration. This paper reviews what lessons have been learned and the activities required for the next two years.
