REACH program

In addition, regulatory initiatives such as the European Union s Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) program, Canada s Domestic Substances List, and the High Production Volume (HPV) chemical programs in the United States and Europe are key drivers for the... 

Finally, major FIPV chemical-related activities in Europe to utilize, or to monitor and learn from, include the development of the European Information System on Risks from chemicals released from consumer products/articles (EIS-ChemRisks). EIS-ChemRisks has been designed to be a European-wide expert and stakeholders network of networks to systematically exchange and assess information on risks from chemicals released from consumer products/articles. The overall objective is to develop tools and reference data to enable harmonized exposure assessment procedures in the European Union. These tools and reference data will support the development of a structured stakeholder dialog in the framework of the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD, 2001/ 95/EC) and progressively in the framework of the European Commission s REACH program as it is established and implemented.

Since the time of this publication, literally thousands of datasets have been correlated the database of the equations generated by the Pomona group (BioLoom) contains more than six thousand equations. In addition, such studies led to the commercialization of products. Most recently, the European Community in its Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) program states that for each chemical circulating in the European territory, a complete dossier on physico-chemical, biological, and toxicological properties must be compiled. For this purpose, validated QSAR methods are accepted. ... 

Also yes A couple of examples are the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) program in Europe and the California Green Chemistry Initiative in California in the United States. 

The purpose of the REACH program is to require that companies make data available that demonstrates the safety of their products. This includes the potential chemical hazards during the use of a product, and it also describes means of restricting the use of specific chemicals. A similar piece of legislation, the Toxic Substances Control Act, exists in the United States, but this has received criticism for being far less effective.
