REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals. It is a regulation which improves the protection of human health and the environment from risks that can be posed by chemicals. The new regulation under REACH covers changes to over 4,000 substances that apply to the European Union (EU) only and are not specific to the PMU industry. These new regulations would substantially reduce concentration limits on certain substances commonly found in pigments. These EU REACH regulations are enforceable from 4 January 2022.
