Regulation
REACH
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals
The EU chemicals regulation requiring suppliers to declare and, where relevant, restrict substances of very high concern in articles placed on the EU market.
Under REACH, any article containing a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) above 0.1% w/w must declare it — historically via the SCIP database for waste operators and on request to consumers.
DPPs and connected packaging make this information immediately accessible at the point of scan, satisfying the 'right to know' part of REACH without needing a separate datasheet request.
