All commercially produced, imported or used chemicals have to fulfill legislative requirements that guarantee human and environmental safety. In Europe, notification and registration have to be performed according to several directives. These regulations will be replaced by the REACH Regulation that entered into force on June 1st 2007. The companies have the responsibility that the products asre safely produced and used. Therefore companies must have insight into the hazards and risks of chemical substances and take management measures for safe use.
