Why Business Needs PTK
European chemicals legislation and regulation impacts businesses in all sectors across Europe and also has spin-off effects on businesses outside the EU. A fundamental and far-reaching change to the EU system for the management of chemicals has just been agreed; the new EU chemicals strategy, REACH. Perhaps as challenging are ambitious plans to harmonise regulatory frameworks globally, starting with classification and labelling. This will have huge implications for any business with international operations and customers and will also become part of EU law in due course.
massive implications
The impact of new chemicals legislation (REACH & GHS) will be massive. All stakeholders need to be aware of what the impact is likely to be and manage the opportunities change will bring to their maximum advantage.
For any business that manufactures, or supplies chemicals or uses chemicals in its products, understanding this legislation and implementing it smartly and efficiently will provide a great competitive advantage, whilst averting the risk of non-compliance and maintaining a strong corporate governance position.
Understanding how to influence the EU regulatory process and international programmes will help maximise the opportunities and limit the negative consequences inherent in any new legislation.
