EU consumer group says REACH info rules not applied

摘要

The principle of the consumers' right to know about dangerous chemicals in everyday products is not being applied, according to the European Consumers' Organization, BEUC. BEUC and its members — national consumer organizations in Europe — tested compliance with the right-to-know rule, which requires information to be supplied free of charge within 45 days of a request when chemicals on the candidate list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) are present in articles at more than 0.1 % by weight.
