Questions about REACH

What is REACH?

EU chemicals regulation governing registration, restriction, authorisation and communication obligations for substances used in products and industrial processes.

How does Foresight track REACH?

Foresight reads official sources for REACH, such as regulators' notices, legislative records and published guidance. Each alert says what changed and links to where it was published. Coverage varies by market, so scoping starts with where you sell.

How is the trend on this page worked out?

It compares REACH's alerts over the latest four weeks with the eight weeks before. Alerts are rising when the latest four weeks average at least a fifth more a week, and at least one more. They are falling when they drop as far, and holding steady in between. After four weeks with no alert, the page shows when the latest one came instead.

Can Foresight tell me which REACH changes affect my products?

Yes. Horizon scanning scores each new REACH alert against your products, substances and markets, most important first, with the reason it matters to you and its source.
