European Chemicals Agency ( ECHA )
The Agency, located in Helsinki, Finland will manage
the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction processes
for chemical substances to ensure consistency across the European
Union. These REACH processes are designed to provide additional information
on chemicals, to ensure their safe use, and to ensure competitiveness
of the European industry.
In its decision-making the Agency will take the best available scientific
and technical data and socio-economic information into account. It
will also provide information on chemicals and technical and scientific
advice. By assessing and approving testing proposals, the Agency will
minimize animal testing.
