REACH

(Registration Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals)

REACH is the regulation of the European Union (EU) for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and became law on 1 June 2007.

The overall principle and objectives of REACH on chemical policy is to make manufacturers, importers and users of chemicals responsible for collecting information, assessing the risk of chemicals and demonstrating how any risk can be managed.  

Croda is a world leading manufacturer of speciality chemicals and our products are used in many downstream applications. We have a strong track record in managing our commitments under our Responsible Care programme and through our focus on sustainable development we welcome the development of an improved and modernised regulatory framework for chemicals within the European Union.
