What Does It Mean to YOU?
Does your company manufacture chemical substances in the
EU or export directly or indirectly to the EU? Do you manufacture
finished goods (articles) that release chemical substances into the environment or contain substances classified as substances of
very high concern (SVHC)? Do you import either substances or
finished goods from the EU?
Manufacturers and distributors, as well as all downstream
industries, which use chemicals in their end products will be
affected by REACH legislation for years to come — even those
based outside the EU.
