Regulatory Overview


The chemical industry is based on a regulatory framework that makes sure the industry does not harm the people, or the environment, or breach international standards. These regulations run from production to handling, storage, and disposal. The key legislations generally include the EU's REACH system and the US TSCA, which have also put stringent testing, reporting, and labeling requirements for chemical substances. Compliance with the above legislation requires that companies implement good safety management systems, conduct periodic audits, and monitor environmental performance continually. Apart from that, industry players also have to be abreast of changing legislation and newly emerging global standards on hazardous substances, waste management, and sustainability undertakings. Non-compliance can lead to substantial penalties, reputational damage, and operational discontinuations, which make adherence a key business issue.
