Completion of Missing Data Sets for UK REACH

While UK REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) applies to most substances manufactured, imported, distributed, or used in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales), certain substances and uses are exempt from all or some of its requirements.

While UK REACH applies broadly, various full and partial exemptions reduce regulatory burdens on certain substances and industries. Companies should carefully assess whether their substances qualify for exemptions while ensuring compliance with alternative regulations.

UK REACH is the regulatory framework governing the manufacture, import, supply, and use of chemicals in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). It was established following the UK’s exit from the EU and is administered by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) instead of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

UK REACH regulates nearly all chemical substances in Great Britain, ensuring they are assessed for safety and managed properly. Its scope covers manufacturing, import, supply, and use of chemicals while exempting substances covered by other regulatory frameworks. Businesses must register, evaluate, and comply with safety restrictions to maintain compliance under UK REACH.
