REACH regulates how chemicals are made, sold and used. ‘Chemicals’ include everything from aftershave, through lathe coolant and any surface coating to sheet metal. As a consequence of REACH, some chemicals will no longer be available for economic reasons. Other chemicals will be phased out because of their health hazard or environmental risk. If you make, import, sell or use any chemical, REACH could have an impact on you.
