Job Description

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TASKS AND ROLE OF ECHA
 
The REACH Regulation1, which entered into force on 1 June 2007, establishes a new regulatory
framework for chemical substances in the European Union. The European Chemicals Agency
(ECHA), located in Helsinki, Finland, is at the centre of REACH, which stands for the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals.
 
REACH aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment while maintaining the
competitiveness and enhancing the innovative capability of the EU chemicals industry. REACH gives
greater responsibility to industry for managing the risks relating to chemicals and for providing safety
information on them. This information must be passed down the supply chain from manufacturers or
importers to users.
 
ECHA is responsible for managing, and in some cases carrying out, the technical, scientific and
administrative aspects of REACH, and ensuring consistency at Community level in its application. It
provides the Member States and the EU institutions with the best possible scientific and technical
advice on issues relating to the chemicals under its remit. You will find more information on ECHA
and REACH on the ECHA website at: www.echa.europa.eu.
