As everybody must know by now, REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of CHemicals. The terms 'chemicals' and 'substances' include metals, metal compounds and alloys. This is a European Union (EU) regulation which entered into force on June 1 st 2007 to streamline and partly replace the existing regulatory framework for chemicals in the EU. REACH is managed by the European CHemicals Agency (ECHA) and enforced by the Competent Authority in each Member State.
