Guidance
Guidance Documents
These documents have been developed with the participation of many stakeholders: Industry, Member States and NGOs. The objective of these documents is to facilitate the implementation of the legislation in ECHA's remit by describing good practice on how to fulfil the obligations.
Factsheets
These documents address specific key points on a selection of the main topics under ECHA's responsibility, including the chemicals legislation and IT tools where these points are not already covered in guidance documents and manuals.
Practical Guides
These documents provide practical information on REACH, CLP and BPR requirements and best practice on how to fulfil them.
Guidance in a nutshell
