Definition
ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), headquartered in Helsinki, is the central EU authority for chemicals safety managing REACH, CLP, Biocidal Products, and PIC Regulations.
Why it matters

What you need to do
Register chemical substances with ECHA for quantities above 1 tonne per year. Check the ECHA database regularly for SVHC Candidate List updates.
