Focus on SMEs
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a decisive role in the competitiveness and dynamism of the European economy. To help SMEs to realize their growth potential, the EU is working towards promoting entrepreneurship and creating a friendlier business environment for small businesses. On ECHA's SME web pages, companies who are not familiar with REACH can find out their obligations using the Navigator Tool where they will also find Guidance Documents in 22 EU languages. Companies can also check whether they qualify as an SME using a simple on line tool.
