Under REACH, will articles that contain chemicals be labelled and will consumers have access to the information on chemicals registered in the database?
All articles contain chemicals and most articles are safe. However, industry will have to show that the use of their chemicals in articles is safe and this may involve labelling and instructions for safe use. Much of the key safety information will be available free of charge on the website of the European Chemicals Agency and more will be available on request. In particular, consumers may request information about the presence of substances of very high concern in articles.
