REACH is the Regulation of the European Union（EU） on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. It entered into force on 1 st June 2007. REACH streamlines and improves the former legislative framework on chemicals in order to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. This paper will not describe the whole legislation and their processes. The aim of this paper was to give background information and practical advice to the leather industry so as to maintain or establish business in and with Europe not only today but also in the REACH future.
