Learn the basics of one of Europe's longest and most complex pieces of legislation - REACH

Since its introduction, there have been a number of amendments to the Regulation, and the most recent consolidated version of the Regulation stands at over 500 pages, which itself is supported by thousands of pages of guidance and various implementing Regulations. REACH remains one of the longest and most complex legislative instruments implemented in the history of the EU, requiring a combination of legal, scientific and technical processes and expertise to successfully navigate.

Why is knowing REACH regulation important?

The primary objective of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment. Without compliance with the Regulation, companies and their personnel could open themselves to potential fines, injunctions or even prison sentences. Understanding the Regulation and how to comply with it ensures the safety of humans and the environment along with protecting the interests of your company.

Testimonials

Take a look at this testimonial from someone who has already completed the course:

"This course was perfect for someone like me based in the US that doesn’t have daily exposure to REACH regulation. I learned the background of REACH and how it applies to current regulations, what is expected/required for compliance, and how it is enforced. It helped expand my knowledge of global regulations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the chemical industry."
