REACH is the abbreviation of REGULATION concerning the Registration, evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. It is a chemical established by the European Union and implemented on June 1, 2007. Regulatory system. This is a regulatory proposal involving the safety of chemical production, trade, and use. The regulations are designed to protect human health and environmental safety, maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry, and develop innovative capabilities for non-toxic and harmless compounds to prevent market fragmentation. Increase the transparency of chemical use, promote non-animal experiments, and pursue sustainable social development.

Increase the transparency of chemical use, promote non-animal experiments, and pursue sustainable social development.
The REACH Directive requires that chemicals imported and produced in Europe must pass a comprehensive set of procedures for registration, assessment, authorization and restriction to better and more easily identify the components of the chemical for the purpose of ensuring environmental and human safety. The directive mainly includes several items such as registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction. Any commodity must have a registration file listing the chemical composition and explain how the manufacturer uses these chemical compositions and toxicity assessment reports. All information will be entered into a database under construction, managed by the European Chemicals Agency, a new EU agency in Helsinki, Finland. The agency will evaluate each file and if it finds that the chemical has an impact on human health or the environment, they may take more stringent measures. Based on the evaluation of several factors, the chemical may be banned or approved before it can be used.
Protecting human health and the environment; maintaining and improving the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry; increasing the transparency of chemical information; reducing vertebrate testing; consistent with the EU's international obligations under the WTO framework. In essence, REACH will promote innovation in the chemical industry to produce safer products that stimulate competition and growth. Unlike the current complex regulatory system, REACH will create a unified chemical management system within the EU that enables companies to follow the same principles to produce new chemicals and their products.

In fact, it affects products and manufacturing processes from mining to textiles, clothing, light industry, electromechanical and other industries. REACH requires manufacturers to register approximately 30,000 of each chemical in their products – and to measure their potential health hazard. REACH has established the idea that society should not introduce new materials, products or technologies if their potential hazards are unclear.
REACH53 is a regulation of the 28 member states of the European Union for the preventive management of all chemicals entering their markets, especially household items. At present, the three major environmental standards agreed by the international home furnishing industry are: DMF (skin allergy element), REACH53, CARB standards, and three complementary environmental protection systems. There is no overlap between them. The series of household environmental protection standards are sponsored by domestic famous home brands. The group initiated the initiative, and its federal Minni environmental sofa series promised to comply with international environmental standards and called for the protection of consumer rights. On December 18, 2006, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union formally adopted the Chemical Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction Regulations (REACH) to prevent the management of all chemicals entering the EU market. The regulation came into effect on June 1, 2007, and was implemented on June 1 of the following year. The competent authority is the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). In China, this standard requires that 53 SVHC substances in all chemicals with an annual production capacity of more than 1 ton not exceed 0.1% of the total item weight. This standard is not only from test project content, technical requirements, limit parameters, testing. Complexity, supply chain control system, etc., domestic standards have not yet been implemented. 1. From the content of the test items, in addition to the substances listed in the country, there are already REACH53 items, and REACH53 plus 48 other chemicals; 2. From the technical requirements, the limit parameter ratio of REACH53 environmental protection standards Domestic standards must be strictly dozens of times; 3. From the perspective of test complexity, REACH53 has been initially implemented since 1976, and has been committed to gradual improvement. From 2008, the first batch of 15 items has been implemented to 53 cases. There are planned and sustainable development regulations. The goal of this regulation is to comply with the EU's international obligations under the WTO framework to protect human health and promote a non-toxic environment. 4. From the perspective of supply chain control system, this regulation The operation must be traced back to the most upstream supply system, and must be transparent and systematic steps to complete.
specific contents
REACH stipulates that REACH regulations for chemicals and other tangible products entering the EU market require producers and importers of chemicals and other tangible products entering the EU market to have the following obligations:
(1) Registration
(Finish and submit detailed reports including test data for each chemical contained in the product.) In REACH, the scope of registration of chemical substances mainly includes:
1. A substance in an independent substance or preparation that is ≥ 1 tonne/year/person;
2. The unregistered content (weight ratio) ≥ 2% in the upstream supplier and the total amount of ≥ 1 ton / year / person in the form of monomeric units or chemically bound substances in the polymer Body or other substance;
3. a total of > 1 ton / year / person and normal or reasonably foresee the intentional release of substances in the use state (substances in articles);
4. The total amount > 1 ton / year / person, the Bureau of Chemicals has reason to suspect that it will be released from the article and this release of substances harmful to the human body or the environment, the Agency may request registration.
Among the REACH regulations, substances that are exempt from registration are:
1. 1 ton / year / person of material
2. Radioactive material
3. Any treatment or processing under customs supervision: (1) temporary storage for re-export, or in a bonded area or bonded warehouse; or (2) transit
4. Non-isolated intermediates
5. Transportation of dangerous substances
6. Waste
7. Member States are exempt from national defense
8. Medicine or veterinary medicine
9. Additives in food or feed, food flavorings and animal nutrition
10. Substances in Annex IV (known risks are low)
11. Substances in Annex V
12. Re-import the registered substance itself or the substance in the product
13. The registered substance itself, the product or the substance in the item is reprocessed (recovery process)
14. Polymer (polymer itself) (but not registered in the upstream supplier [weight ratio] ≥ 2% and total ≥ 1 ton / year in the form of monomeric units or chemically bound substances Except for monomers or other substances present in the polymer)
15. Chemicals used only for product or research and development (PPORD) (5+5/10 years)
16. Active ingredients and excipients (co-formulants) used only in plant protection products (considered registered)
17. Active ingredient only in biocides (considered registered)
18. Substances that have been declared for new chemical substances in accordance with Directive 79/831/EEC (considered registered)
The main content of REACH is to require that the daily products contain no chemicals harmful to humans. Therefore, all daily-use products produced in the EU or imported into the EU market, mainly textiles, must pass the registration, inspection and approval of the content of harmful chemical substances. Once the specified content is exceeded, they cannot be sold in the EU market.
