REACH provides a single chemical regulatory regime for the European Union. Manufacturers and importers must provide data and carry out risk assessments in order to continue using chemicals of importance to their business. Downstream users also have obligations.
The National Centre for Environmental Toxicology (NCET), a specialised team within WRc, can offer a wide range of REACH services. NCET consists of experience mammalian and environmental toxicologists, risk assessment analysts, chemists and REACH legislation experts, and has extensive experience of dealing with national and European regulators.
