Reach India
Chemical substances are being used more these days in industrial operations, as well as things we use in our daily lives, such as cleaning products and paints, as well as articles like clothing, furniture, and electrical appliances. There are several substances on the market that are hazardous to human health and the environment, yet the government has no information about these chemicals.
To get details information about these chemicals and the risks they pose to human health, the Indian government recently circulated a draught of CMS rule, which is similar to the European Union's REACH legislation. The CMS rule's basic regulatory premise is same as other REACH laws i.e. no data, no market.
Under the rule, all Existing and new chemical substances manufactured, imported, or used in India must be notified, registered by manufacturers, importers, or authorized representatives. The goal of REACH compliance is to ensure a high degree of protection for human health and the environment by accurate and earlier identifying of inherent features of substances and mixtures.
The main reason for adopting and developing REACH in place of the existing Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rule 1989 is that a large number of substances have been manufactured and placed on the Indian market, sometimes in extremely large quantities. There is insufficient information about the risks they pose to human health and the environment.
