The UK is consulting on proposals to introduce an Alternative Transitional Registrational model for UK REACH. The model aims to reduce the estimated £2 billion costs the UK chemical industry might have faced under the transition from EU REACH to UK REACH. The consultation also contains proposals to change the current UK REACH regime inherited from the EU. The policy proposals are intended to increase regulatory efficiency and further support the principal of animal testing as a last resort. For more information see here. The deadline for receiving comments is 11 July 2024. During the next ICTA Transport & Security meeting, CBA will give a presentation about the proposed changes and their expected effects for business.
