note = {The Council Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) has
been described as the “most complex piece of legislation in EU
history”. Entering into force on 1 June 2007, the Regulation
constitutes the basic law for any business involved in chemical
substances in the European Union. It is meant to improve the
protection of human health and the environment, as well as the
enhancement of innovation and competitiveness of the chemical industry
in the EU. For this end the intrinsic properties of chemical
substances shall be identified sooner and more accurate. By the
REACH-Regulation importers and manufacturers are required to gather
information on the properties of their chemical substances and to
register the information in a central database operated by the
European Chemical Agency (ECHA) based in Helsinki.This handbook covers
all the relevant issues from initial registration of chemical
substances to the final enforcement of the obligations under the
Regulation.The content is structured as follows:Politics of REACHScope
