Ensuring Chemical Safety and Regulatory Compliance

The UK REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation aims to protect human health and the environment while supporting the chemical industry. After Brexit, the UK implemented its own regulatory system to replace the EU REACH framework. UK REACH, which came into effect on January 1, 2021, governs the production, import, and use of chemicals across England, Scotland, and Wales.

This regulation places responsibility on manufacturers, importers, and users. Companies must assess and manage chemical risks effectively. The goal is to ensure safety, promote innovation, and maintain trade continuity. Below, we explore key objectives of UK REACH and how they impact businesses and the environment.
