"On 1 June 2017, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is 10 years old. During those 10 years, ECHA has been working to protect human health and the environment from the toxic effects of chemicals, promote their safe use, control the most dangerous ones and encourage innovation.
Helsinki, 1 June 2017 – In 2007, over 40 pieces of European chemicals legislation were replaced by a single law, REACH. The aim was to improve human health and the environment, encourage innovation and keep the EU’s chemical industry competitive."
