INTRODUCTION 

Reach is the European Regulation (1907/2006) on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of chemicals.

The main goals of REACH:

• collect data on properties and uses of the substances;
• safe management in the whole life cycle of the substance;
• communicate safe uses along the supply chain;
• find alternatives for high concern substances.

CLP is the European Regulation (1272/2008) on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging and it is based on the United Nations’ Globally Harmonised System (GHS).  Its purpose is to ensure a high level of protection of health and the environment, as well as the free movement of substances, mixtures and articles. It requires manufacturers, importers or downstream users of substances or mixtures to classify, label and package their hazardous chemicals appropriately before placing them on the market.
