SUMMARY
Amendments to the REACH directive were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on December 30, 2006.
Article (1) states:
“This Regulation should ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment as well as the free movement of substances, on their own, in preparations and in articles, while enhancing competitiveness and innovation. This Regulation should also promote the development of alternative methods for the assessment of hazards of substances.”
This language is new to the regulation and calls not only for the use of validated alternatives, but also the proactive development of new methods.
