UK REACH public consultation launched
On 16 May, DEFRA launched the long-awaited public consultation on the UK REACH alternative registration model (ATRm).
As part of the ongoing project to improve UK REACH, this consultation also includes proposals for changes to the restriction and reporting process, as well as proposals to introduce further protections against unnecessary animal testing. The consultation closes on 11 July.
For more information, please see UK REACH alternative transitional registration model (ATRm) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) have announced their intention to revoke Annex VIII to GB CLP using the powers granted under the Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill, following a conclusion that the costs to industry will outweigh the benefits.
