Regional regulations can vary significantly, reflecting differences in legislative frameworks, cultural values, and economic considerations. For instance, the European Union (EU) operates under the REACH regulation, which requires comprehensive data on chemicals' hazards and risks. In contrast, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States focuses on risk-based assessments and prioritizes chemicals for review. Each region may have specific requirements for data submission, testing methods, and labeling, necessitating companies to adapt their compliance strategies accordingly.
