Abstract |
This article presents the approach adopted by a French company specialized in the storage and distribution of chemicals in view of complying with the requirements of the REACH (registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals) regulations. The company developed a computer-based tool for tracking the implementation process. This tool can accommodate possible future classification and labelling criteria for chemicals. Boxes summarize the efforts undertaken by regional public authorities and industry associations to inform, generate awareness and assist small enterprises concerning these regulations. |
