11 Oct '06
1 min read

The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) welcomes the appointment of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as the UK Competent Authority for the forthcoming EU chemicals legislation, REACH - registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals.

"We are pleased to see confirmation of a clear lead body as the UK Competent Authority. That said a key challenge for the HSE will be to ensure that we have fully joined up implementation and enforcement of the regulation.

This means the need for close cooperation with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Environment Agency, devolved administrations and other relevant government departments," stressed CIA Chief Executive, Steve Elliott.

"Industry too must look to play its part to deliver an effective and efficient REACH. With that in mind CIA's REACHReady will seek to work closely with HSE's helpdesk to ensure that UK companies are best prepared for this milestone regulation," added Elliott.
