Implementing REACH poses several challenges for companies:
Data Requirements: Gathering the necessary toxicological data for registration can be resource-intensive and costly, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Complexity of Regulations: Navigating the extensive and detailed regulatory requirements of REACH can be challenging, requiring specialized knowledge and expertise. Innovation and Competition: Balancing compliance with REACH while maintaining innovation and competitiveness can be difficult, especially when safer alternatives are not readily available.
