Description

On 1 January 2021, the UK Government put in place a domestic chemicals' regulatory regime, which included UK REACH. UK REACH retains both the fundamental approach and key principles of the EU REACH regulation, with its aims of ensuring a high level of protection of human health and the environment. These principles include the "no data, no market" principle, the "last resort" principle on animal testing, access to information for workers, and the precautionary principle. The aim of the project is to build on the work done by Defra, HSE, and EA outlined above by refining the information requirements of the UK REACH ATR Model and testing its viability and impacts. This will allow us to make evidence-based judgements on the impacts and practicability of the UK REACH ATR Model, in comparison to the current approach, in order to achieve the right balance of reducing industry costs whilst maintaining the core principles of REACH.
