REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) Roadshow - 23 April 2008
Thursday, 07 February 2008

The West Midlands ICT Hub is pleased to bring to the attention of the West Midlands industry and ICT community news of the forthcoming Health & Safety Executive roadshow.

REACH is the new Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. It entered into force on 1st June 2007. It streamlines and improves the former legislative framework on chemicals of the European Union (EU).

The main aims of REACH are to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, the promotion of alternative test methods, the free circulation of substances on the internal market and enhancing competitiveness and innovation.

REACH makes industry responsible for assessing and managing the risks posed by chemicals and providing appropriate safety information to their users. In parallel, the European Union can take additional measures on highly dangerous substances, where there is a need for complementing action at EU level.

Complementary legislation includes the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a United Nations system to identify hazardous chemicals and to inform users about these hazards through standard symbols and phrases on the packaging labels and through safety data sheets (SDS). On 27 June 2007, the Commission has adopted a proposal to implement the GHS in Community law through a Regulation on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This will contribute to internationally harmonised communication of hazard information on chemicals and facilitation of trade.

The proposed Regulation will complement the new REACH Regulation. It will also adapt certain provisions of REACH relating to classification and labelling.

The proposal is currently undergoing the legislative co-decision procedure, seeking agreement of the European Parliament and the Council.

If you would like to register for this event please contact the West Midlands ICT Hub and we can forward details.
