For 10 years, chemical companies have assessed the risks of their chemicals used in Europe and submitted that information to ECHA according to the criteria set out in the REACH Regulation.
Today, we know more than ever about the chemicals on the EU market, their properties and impacts. Companies can advise their customers on how to use them safely. ECHA together with national authorities and the European Commission will use the knowledge to design EU-wide measures to protect our citizens and the environment from any harmful effects.
