Since EU REACH entered into force in 2007, jurisdictions

around the globe have sought to align their regulatory frameworks

governing the chemical sector accordingly. By contrast, the

United Kingdom, following its withdrawal from the European

Union, may choose a path of regulatory divergence. While the

Northern Ireland Protocol has ensured that EU REACH will continue

to apply in Northern Ireland, the rules governing the manufacture,

sale and distribution of chemicals in Great Britain have

been significantly altered. To help chemical experts, manufacturers,

distributors, lawyers and consultants navigate these new

rules, this book offers the first consolidated version of UK REACH.

Highlighting the sections of EU REACH that have been altered,

this text is essential reading for anyone interested in placing

chemical products on the UK market.
