– “A4 REACH” (EU)
Watch the webinar
About this webinar
Chemicals are a can’t-do-without part of our lives. Regulating them has proven to be a huge task and is still a work in progress. REACH Regulation is the main piece of the EU legislation concerning chemicals. By its specificity, volume and entangled potential implications, REACH may be intimidating. People might tend to fear it and avoid it.
A short, understandable presentation can help crystalize the concepts of REACH, encourage navigation through its processes and discover provisions that apply (or not !) to those that start learning about it.
