What Are the Key Components of REACH in Cancer Prevention?
The key components of REACH that contribute to cancer prevention include:
Registration: Manufacturers and importers must gather information on the properties of their chemical substances and register the data with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Evaluation: ECHA and member states evaluate the information submitted by companies to assess the risks posed by the substances. Authorisation: Substances identified as being of very high concern (SVHC), including those that are carcinogenic, require authorisation for specific uses. Restriction: Specific hazardous substances may be restricted or banned from the market to protect human health and the environment.
