REACH is a European Regulation concerning chemicals and their safe use. It is not a "REACH directive" but a Regulation, which means it applies directly in all 27 Member States of the European Union and also in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as member countries of the European Economic Area. Unlike laws such as RoHS, REACH does not require transposition into national law.

The REACH Regulation is a complex piece of legislation and it's easy to feel overwhelmed when you're new to it. But at REACHReady we've been helping people to get to grips with what they need to do ensure their compliance for years. We know what the essentials are and the pitfalls to beware of. And of course, the best approach to take to make sure that you tackle REACH in a cost-effective way.
