What is European Chemicals Agency?
The European Chemicals Agency is part of the [[European Union]] which manages the European Union regulation called ''Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of [[Chemicals]]'' (REACH). It started work in 2007. It is based in [[Helsinki]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2007-05-31|title=EU's REACH chemicals law begins life in Helsinki|url=https://euobserver.com/green-economy/24169|access-date=2023-04-10|website=EUobserver|language=en}}</ref> On its website there is a public summary of all the information it holds on the chemicals registered in its [[database]]. It provides this information in the form of a ''Substance Infocard'' giving [[Hazard|hazards]], uses and production or [[import]] quantities. There is information on over 245,000 chemicals, although most do not have full details since they are used in amounts below one tonne per year. == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Agencies of the European Union]]
