Abstract english
The European Commission recently announced a targeted revision of the REACH Regulation, in view of strengthening the level of protection from hazardous chemicals and simplifying the legal text.The German Environment Agency makes in this Scientific Opinion Paper specific recommendations, including on compliance checks for registration dossiers, additional information requirements, a simplified procedure for the identification of substances of very high concern, the extension of the generic risk approach to further hazard classes and derogations from restrictions for essential uses.The recommendations support current proposals at the European level. They are directed at stakeholders from academia, civil society, industry, governments and European institutions.
