For example, once implemented, the European Commission s new chemicals policy REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) -endorsed in 2003 - would require manufacturers and importers of over one ton per year of any chemical substance to gather information on the properties, hazards, and use of that substance, and submit the data to the European Chemicals Agency. The Agency would then determine if the chemical substance needed to be further regulated, restricted, or banned from use. It is estimated that about 30,000 existing chemicals produced in or imported into Europe would be subject to REACH. Key objectives of the European Commission s initiative on the reformulation of chemicals policy are to raise human and environmental safety levels as well as to simplify and standardize the current legislation. 

This legislation, called REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals), was officially enacted on 1 July 2007. The law ensures that for thirty thousand substances more information will be disseminated, although only about 40 percent of these chemical substances will be researched for potential health and environmental risks. The remaining chemicals will continue to be shrouded in uncertainty. There is also very little research being done regarding the effects of all these substances combined, the so-called chemical cocktail.

Increased production levels require additional toxicology and ecotoxicology data to ensure that prolonged exposure effects are understood.10 Today, the ELINCS system is being progressed under European proposals labeled REACH—Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals.

In the first stage of the process, the independent body selects QSARs that are potentially useful in the context of a specific regulatory system, such as the future Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) system in the EU (European Commission, 2001). The selection could be based on a review of the scientific literature, or on the assessment of dossiers submitted by the proponents of QSAR models, such as industry, academia, or regulatory bodies. 

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... 

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals) is a new regulatory framework that aims to simplify and streamline chemical regulation in Europe. 

Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) is a European law entered into force in 2007. It requires that companies that manufacture or import more than one ton of a chemical substance per year into the Enropean Union register the substance in a central database and inclnde exposnre estimation and risk characterization. 

In order to fill the data gaps for existing chemicals the corresponding regulation has been revised in the European Union aiming at a nearly equal treatment of new and existing chemicals under the acronym REACH = Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals [37].

This issue of the impact of chemicals on human beings and the enviromnent is the subject of a European Regulation known as REACH [REA 06] (registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals), of which the first version dates back to 2006. Since then it has been amended several times and has been accompanied by a large number of additional documents including a guide for polymers which was modified for the last time in April 2012.
