18 Nov 2022 --- The European Commission (EC) announced a few weeks ago that revising the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) regulation would be postponed. The revision is now scheduled for the final quarter of 2023 rather than early next year. The revisions that are currently ongoing are also expected to impact the personal care space by improving product safety and chemical regulations.“We will propose a targeted revision of the legislation on REACH to secure European competitive advantages and innovation by promoting sustainable chemicals, simplifying and streamlining the regulatory process, reducing the burden and protecting human health and the environment,” an EC spokesperson, tells PersonalCareInsights.
