REACHReady Council Code Breaker

Plese note that this refers to the diferences between the "Common Position" and previous versions of REACH. It is not relevant to the current version of REACH - known as the "Compromise Package".

The official text of the Council ‘Common Position’ dated 12 June 2006, which forms the current working basis of REACH, changes the numbering of Articles and Annexes from all previous versions of the REACH text. But don't worry - we have cracked the code! To help our customers, REACHReady has tabulated the revisions in the form of this ‘Code Breaker’.

To provide a basis for comparing versions of REACH, the Code Breaker references the previous text issued by the Council on 19 December 2005, following its political agreement of 13 December 2005.

The numbering scheme for the 19 December 2005 text also corresponds to the initial Commission proposal of October 2003.
