Reopening of REACH: Inception Impact Assessment
The European Commission's inception impact assessment on the reopening of the REACH Regulation analyzes potential effects on the economy, environment, and society. Changes include registration requirements, communication in the supply chain, and adapting the authorization process. The Chemicals Strategy aims to ensure better protection from hazardous chemicals and transition to safe and sustainable chemicals. Discussions center around the motto "One substance, one assessment" to improve efficiency and compliance. Other regulations like CLP and cosmetics may also be reopened for amendments.
