How Do Regulatory Frameworks Incorporate the Precautionary Principle?


Various regulatory frameworks, such as the European Union's REACH Regulation, incorporate the precautionary principle by requiring safety testing and risk assessments before chemicals can be marketed. These frameworks often mandate that manufacturers demonstrate a chemical's safety, shifting the burden of proof away from regulators and onto the industries that produce potentially hazardous substances.
