Chemicals: Registration
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to adopt the EU’s ‘rolling list’ of potentially toxic chemicals as part of the UK's REACH register.
- Answer
-
Defra continues to work closely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Environment Agency (EA), Welsh and Scottish Governments to identify our priorities under UK REACH. To do this, we consider information from a range of sources, including reviewing action initiated under the EU.
Once we have identified priority chemical risks for GB we consider the most appropriate approach for managing them. This could include action under REACH, or action through other means, such as through the occupational health and safety regulations or the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulations.
