REACH Restricted Chemical List

REACH stands for:

Registration: Chemical producers are required to register safety data for all chemicals produced.
Evaluation: Experts from member states and the European Agency evaluate safety data for higher volume chemicals and other chemicals of concern.
Authorization: Chemicals that are "substances of very high concern" (SVHC) are to be phased out and replaced with safer alternative chemicals.
Restriction: Chemicals may be completely banned or some uses of the chemicals can be restricted.
