When will REACH take affect?
REACH was entered into force on 1 June 2007 and will employ phased implementation. The first phase will end December 1st, 2008. The first phase sets new MSDS requirements and offers Pre-Registration of all existing or "phase-in" chemicals with the ECHA, European Chemicals Agency. View complete REACH Implementation timeline.
